    Umbraco 8 Examine How to Search Multiple DocTypes

    Hi Guys,

    Does anyone know how to search multiple doc types in Umbraco 8. I tried a couple of different ways. The usual way which used to work for Umbraco 7 doesn't seem to be working.

    Sometimes it feels like I am guessing with Examine until I get it right.

    Here is what I have tried.

    This is what I used to use for Umbraco 7 (not working for 8)

    var examineQuery = criteria.GroupedOr(new string[] { "_docTypeAliasFieldName" }, new string[] { "contentPage", "blogDetailsPage", "eventDetailsPage", "officeDetailsPage", "sectorDetailsPage", "serviceDetailsPage", "staffDetailsPage" });

    I had a stab in the dark here and tried this.

    var examineQuery = criteria.NodeTypeAlias("contentPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("blogDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("eventDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("officeDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("sectorDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("serviceDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("staffDetailsPage");

    Thanks in Advanced.

    Regards

    David

    Hi,

    I also tried this and no results are returned.

     var searcher = index.GetSearcher();
                var criteria = searcher.CreateQuery(IndexTypes.Content, BooleanOperation.And);
                IBooleanOperation examineQuery = criteria.GroupedOr(new string[] { "nodeTypeAlias" }, new string[] { "contentPage", "blogDetailsPage", "eventDetailsPage", "officeDetailsPage", "sectorDetailsPage", "serviceDetailsPage", "staffDetailsPage" });

    Hi Guys,

    It looks like I was on the right track.

    This is what worked. I need to change.

    var criteria = searcher.CreateQuery(IndexTypes.Content, BooleanOperation.And);

    to

    var criteria = searcher.CreateQuery(IndexTypes.Content, BooleanOperation.Or);

    EG.

    var searcher = index.GetSearcher();
                var criteria = searcher.CreateQuery(IndexTypes.Content, BooleanOperation.Or);
                var examineQuery = criteria.NodeTypeAlias("contentPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("blogDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("eventDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("officeDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("sectorDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("serviceDetailsPage").Or().NodeTypeAlias("staffDetailsPage");

    Hope this helps someone.

    Regards

    David
