I'm currently looking at setting up the Examine search within Umbraco to provide a site search for content. I've followed the quick start guide here and everything works fine until I use a layout for the search page template.
When I submit the search form using a layout I receive the following exception:
Has anyone else come across this, and if so, would you be able to give me a nudge in the right direction please?
The issue was arising due to the document types using a composition for the page metadata. Within the layout, there was a partial view to render these metatags, which is why the model binder was trying to bind to IMetadata.
In the end I scrapped the view model and extended the model builder class for the search document type with the properties from the view model. That way it was always implementing IMetadata.
