How can I convert Examine search results into a IPublishedContent collection
I'm trying to create a simple search results page for my site. I have some test code to get some search only the node title:
```
var searcher = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["ExternalSearcher"];
var searchCriteria = Searcher.CreateSearchCriteria(BooleanOperation.Or);
var query = searchCriteria.Field("nodeName", "blog").Compile();
var searchResults = Searcher.Search(query);
```
This works, but it's returning an Examine data type (ISearchResults)

I'd like to convert it to IPublishedContent so that I can work with it Umbraco objects, instead of just the list of fields returned in ISearchResults.

Is that possible?

try this:

List<IPublishedContent> contents = new List<IPublishedContent>();
var searcher = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["ExternalSearcher"];
var searchCriteria = Searcher.CreateSearchCriteria(BooleanOperation.Or);
var query = searchCriteria.Field("nodeName", "blog").Compile();
var searchResults = Searcher.Search(query);


foreach (var item in searchResults)
 {
      contents .Add(Umbraco.TypedContent(item.Id));
 }

I recommend the Paul Seal tutorial, it's very good

If you're dealing with media, something like this:

    private IPiblishedContent ConvertToViewModel(SearchResult x)
    {
        switch (x.Fields["__IndexType"])
        {
            case "content":
                return Umbraco.TypedContent(x.Id);
            case "media":
                return Umbraco.TypedMedia(x.Id);
            default:
                throw new ArgumentException($"Index Type of '{x.Fields["__IndexType"]}' not recognised");
        }
    }
