Anthony,

Depending on how the publication nodes and research project nodes are setup. Are they both one type but just under different pages or different types? Depending on this you have 2 options:

1. If same type - You will need to implement gathingnode data event and inject in a searchable path into the index then when you are doing the search use the path property as search parameter see more here http://thecogworks.co.uk/blog/posts/2012/november/examiness-hints-and-tips-from-the-trenches-part-2/

2. If they are of different types then slightly easier what you would do in your macro is to test which section you are in and if in publications or projects do a search just for those types using nodetypealias as filter in the search.

Hi Ismail,

Thanks for this advice. I'll try it out and let yoiu know.

greetings,

Hi Ismail,

I think I go for the second solution. My only question is, how can I do a search only on I node type, eg 'MediaArticle'?

My current search query, for a global search is defined like this:

var searcher = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["CJSSearcher"];
var searchCriteria = searcher.CreateSearchCriteria(BooleanOperation.Or);

var query = searchCriteria.GroupedOr(new string[] { "nodeName", "bodyText", "metaDescription" }, searchTerm).Compile();

thanks for your help,

Anthony

Anthony,

var searchCriteria = searcher.CreateSearchCriteria(BooleanOperation.Or)

var examineQuery = searchCriteria.NodeTypeAlias("MediaArticle");

examineQuery=examineQuery.GroupedOr(new string[] { "nodeName", "bodyText", "metaDescription" }, searchTerm).Compile();

Regards

Ismail

Oh I see, that's easy. Thanks!

There is a problem with the line:

examineQuery=examineQuery.GroupedOr(new string[] { "nodeName", "bodyText", "metaDescription" }, searchTerm).Compile();

The compiler is not recognizing the GroupedOr method:

Error   20  'Examine.SearchCriteria.IBooleanOperation' does not contain a definition for 'GroupedOr' and no extension method 'GroupedOr' accepting a first argument of type 'Examine.SearchCriteria.IBooleanOperation' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Anthony,

WHen i ever i work with exmaine i just add all fields i want to on into one big field called contents then search on that then there is no groupedor etc also if later new fields are added that i want to search on i dont have to modify code. See http://thecogworks.co.uk/blog/posts/2012/november/examiness-hints-and-tips-from-the-trenches-part-2 there is code on how to munge into one field.
