Hi Neil what exaclty are you trying to search for?

Thanks,

Charlie :)

Hi

Im trying to implement a kind of faceted search

My search uses filters and a search box, passing values to a searchresults page:

My Search Page:

I need it to search not only the title, description but match on the alias attributes which is a MNTP:

The code above searches nicely when i pass a search term from the text box, but i cant get it to filter via the checkboxes which passes a sting like 1123,1345,1234

so i need it to search to see if the node contains the alias attribute and has that id selected within it

Ok think i have this working -

@using Examine.SearchCriteria
@using UmbracoExamine
@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
@{
    var searchQuery = Request["searchstring"];
    var filterList = Request["filters"]; //1122,1133,1347

    var searcher = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["InternalSearcher"];


    var criteria = searcher.CreateSearchCriteria(IndexTypes.Content);
    IBooleanOperation query = criteria.NodeTypeAlias("PartMark-Partner");
    query = query.Not().Field("umbracoNaviHide", 1.ToString());

    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(searchQuery))
    {
        query = query.And().Field("partnerTitle", searchQuery);
    }
    
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(filterList))
    {
        string[] attIds = filterList.Split(',');
        query.And().GroupedOr(new List<string> { "attributes" }, attIds);

    }
    
    var results = searcher.Search(query.Compile());
       
}

@{
    foreach (var item in results)
    {
        var nodeurl = Model.NodeById(item.Fields["id"]);                         
        <div>
            <p><a href="@nodeurl.Url">@item.Fields["partnerTitle"]</a></p>
        </div>
    }
}

Seems to pull back results that match in the attributes MNTP ids now :)

My only problem now is getting the 'searchQuery' string to match on a fuzzy basis, at the minute the case and word have to exactly match to bring back a result, is there a way to ignore case sensetivity and also partial words? i.e. contains chars of a word?

i.e. the search term Limited = 2 results

but, typing in Lim, lim, limi or any derivitive of that word would not return a result due to it not exactly matching

Any ideas?

is working on a reply...
