Hi Daniel,

You basically have to modify the possibleNodes variable. I've done this a couple of times now and it works a treat, however keep an eye on performance if that is an issue. It goes something like this:

- create a custom variable with a 'root' element

- add as many nodes to it as you need, using copy-of

- generate a proper node set, replacing the existing possibleNodes variable

<xsl:variable name="possibleNodesRaw">

    <container>

        <xsl:if test="is current node a media item?">

            <xsl:for-each select="$theMediaStartNode/.....">

                <xsl:copy-of select="current()" />

            </xsl:for-each>

        </xsl:if>

        <xsl:if test="another condition">

            <!-- add as many nodes as you like -->

        </xsl:if>

    </container>

</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="possibleNodes" select="msxml:node-set($possibleNodesRaw)/container/*[@isDoc]" />

The search script will then use these nodes for all search operations.

Hope that helps,

Sascha

Hi.

I have followed the instructions above but get no results when searching. The search searches the correct media nodes and the parameters should be correct, but still no results. Did a copy-of to see the raw data of my possibleNodes variable, and this returns the following for each media item: 

<Image id="1056" version="b6b7dce1-9f23-412a-b2fc-5eaf7912cd1b" parentID="1055" level="4" writerID="0" nodeType="1032" template="0" sortOrder="1" createDate="2011-04-05T13:43:40" updateDate="2011-04-05T13:43:41" nodeName="random image" urlName="randomimage" writerName="admin" nodeTypeAlias="Image" path="-1,1053,1054,1055,1056"><umbracoFile>/media/35/ernst.jpg</umbracoFile><imgDescription>Random bilde for testing av galleri</imgDescription><imgTags>Ernst,Eliah</imgTags><umbracoWidth>453</umbracoWidth><umbracoHeight>604</umbracoHeight><umbracoBytes>60518</umbracoBytes><umbracoExtension>jpg</umbracoExtension></Image>

The properties im searching is @nodeName,imgTags,imgDescription. 

Any idea what I am missing? Posting the only change I have made to the xslt:

    <xsl:variable name="possibleNodesRaw">
      <container>    
        <xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(1053, '0')/descendant::* [@nodeTypeAlias='Image']">  
          <xsl:copy-of select="current()" />  
        </xsl:for-each>  
      </container>  
    </xsl:variable>
    <!-- reduce the number of nodes for applying all the functions in the next step -->
    <xsl:variable name="possibleNodes" select="msxml:node-set($possibleNodesRaw)/container/* " />

is working on a reply...
