Any ideas? I have got the search working, I just need to figure out how to show the contextual content!? Can I get to the "contents" field which is the combination of all fields, including those from child nodes.

Hi Gordon

Can you share the change you have done on ezSearchBootstrapper.cs to make it include the child nodes?

Does the search works as intended (i.e. search result shows the container page (where the term is located in its child)) ?

cheers

It will probably depend on your exact requirements, but this is what I did for my project.

I added the following code into "OnGatheringNodeData" in ezSearchBootstrapper.cs

            if (e.IndexType == IndexTypes.Content) {
                var node = new Node(e.NodeId);

                foreach (var rowItem in node.ChildrenAsList.Where(t => t.template == 0))
                {
                    combinedFields = AddAllFields(combinedFields, rowItem.PropertiesAsList);
                }
            }

I put it right after the foreach loop that fills "combinedFields" and before "e.Fields.Add("contents", combinedFields.ToString())".

This is AddAllFields()

        private StringBuilder AddAllFields(StringBuilder combinedFields, System.Collections.Generic.List<umbraco.interfaces.IProperty> properties)
        {
            foreach (var property in properties)
            {
                if (property.Value != null)
                {
                    combinedFields.AppendLine(property.Value.ToString());
                }
            }
            return combinedFields;
        }

By default, the search results page / code will not display pages without a template assigned, so no changes were needed there. The only issue is that the text displayed underneath each search result may not contain the actual search term. In fact, there may not be any text at all. That is still to be looked at ;-)
