Simon,

Examine is your friend https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Searching/Examine/

You will need to specifically look into the docs and particulary gatheringnode data event.

I would also take a look at ezsearch project you could use that and update where required to meet your specific requirements https://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/ezsearch/

Hi Ismail,

Thanks for your reply.

I was thinking about that.

But I'm quire confused to can achieve what I want with Examine.

For example, how can I convert the below to Examine Search Please?

nodes = rootNode.Descendants(ConstantNames.PropertyDocumentAliasName).Where(x => propertyTypesIds.Contains(x.GetPropertyValue<Picker>(ConstantNames.PropertyTypeAliasName).PickedKeys.First()) && localitiesIds.Contains(x.GetPropertyValue<Picker>(ConstantNames.PropertyLocalityAliasName).PickedKeys.First()));

Appreaciate any help!

Thanks a lot.

H Ismail,

The Picker refers to nuPickers since the value is chosen using the typehead nuPickers.

Then I am checking if my list contains the value chosen from the CMS.

How can I covert it to Umbraco Examine Search?

Thanks

I suspect in the index the ids are in as csv list. So you will firstly need to use gathering node data event and put them into the index as space separated list then you can query on it.

So something like:

private readonly BaseSearchProvider _externalSearcher = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["ExternalSearcher"];

 var criteria = _externalSearcher.CreateSearchCriteria(IndexTypes.Content);

        var query = criteria.NodeTypeAlias("YourDocType"); 

query = query.GroupedOr.Field(ConstantNames.PropertyTypeAliasName, trimmedType,listofIds);

Something along those lines you will have to look at the docs.

What do you mean by trimmedType

Hi Ismail,

And the listOfIds, can by just a List

Right?

Kind Regards

Thanks

Simon,

Correct so in your case you would use propertyTypesIds and localitiesIds on the 2 fields you want to search on with a grouped or. So you will say get me all document type properties that have propertyTypeid 1 or 2 or 3 and localitiy ids 6 or 7 or 8 etc.

Ismail

Great.

I will try it out and let you know.

Cheers for your help.

Hi Ismail,

I am trying like this:

var searchquery = criteria.NodeTypeAlias(ConstantNames.PropertyDocumentAliasName).And().GroupedOr(ConstantNames.PropertyTypeAliasName, propertyTypesIds.ToArray());

but the first parameter of the GroupedOr is expecting an IEnumberable of string, as field.

Hi Ismail,

I am doing like this:

var propertyTypeFieldInList = new List<string> {ConstantNames.PropertyTypeAliasName};
                var propertyLocalituFieldInList = new List<string> {ConstantNames.PropertyLocalityAliasName};

                var searchquery = criteria.NodeTypeAlias(ConstantNames.PropertyDocumentAliasName).And().GroupedOr(propertyTypeFieldInList, propertyTypesIds.ToArray()).And().GroupedOr(propertyLocalituFieldInList, localitiesIds.ToArray());
                var results = helper.TypedSearch(searchquery.Compile());

but no results is being returned.

any idea why please?

Kind Regards.

Hi Ismail,

The PropertyType and PropertyLocality of of type typeHeadList of nuPickers,

the query is not working because of nuPickers.

Before I was doing like this to get the value:

x.GetPropertyValue<Picker>(ConstantNames.PropertyTypeAliasName).PickedKeys.First()

Any help please?

Simon,

Just before you make search call namely line helper.TypedSearch can you do

criteria.ToString()

And paste that back. This will give you the generated query. Also as I suggested earlier you need to download luke and look inside your index to see how data is stored. You can also run that raw query in luke. I suspect you need to massage your data in the index so its searchable. At the moment its probably in as csv list and thus not tokenised you need to store it as space separated values.

If you look at source code of ezsearch you can see how a csv value is stored as space separated. See https://github.com/mattbrailsford/ezSearch/blob/master/Src/Our.Umbraco.ezSearch/Web/UI/App_Code/ezSearchBoostrapper.cs line 37

Hi Ismail,

Sorry for asking again, but I cannot figure it out.

So in my case, how should I implement it? Would I need place the ids comma seperated? And how would I get the Picked key from Lucene nuPickers value?

Simon,

Did you download luke and look inside your index also did you try the query in luke. This will give you better idea of what you need todo. You an use gatheringnode data event and get the values strip the , and replace with space and add back into index.

Take a look at the code in ezsearch that shows you how to implement gatheringnode data event. In that code he is stripping , from path values and inserting space. You need todo something similar for your location and property type values then you can search on them

Regards

Ismail

How can I install Luke?
