Hi Manish,

Ajax shouldn't really pose any additional constraint. Just return a JsonResult e.g.

var myResults = new List<MyTypedResultObject>();
//.... populate results
return Json(myResults);

However, instead of using Json you could just return the HTML which is required to replace your results. This works just the same as a Partial. Return a PartialResult and have your view render the results.

If your surface controller has arguments for all your filters then that should be straight forward.

I am doing code something like that but no luck with date range

var q = "Policy Publication";
            var q_split = q.Split(' ');

            var Searcher = Examine.ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["MySearcher"];
            var searchCriteria = Searcher.CreateSearchCriteria(BooleanOperation.Or);

            var fieldsToSearch = new[]
            {
             "type", "format", "nodeName", "createdDate"
            };

            IBooleanOperation filter = searchCriteria.GroupedOr(fieldsToSearch, q_split.First());
            foreach (var term in q_split.Skip(1))
            {
                filter = filter.Or().GroupedOr(fieldsToSearch, term);
            }

            //Put if condition for date range
            filter = filter.And().Range("createdDate", new DateTime(2017, 03, 01), new DateTime(2017, 03, 05));

            var searchResults = Searcher.Search(filter.Compile());

You probably need to use the GatheringNodeData examine event to populate a field with the format yyyyMMddHHmmss. Plus I'm not sure range works. You might need to do a greater than and a less than.

You can do date range searches uses Lucene (Examine) but you might need to create a raw query. This is how I format it:

var query = String.Format("{0}:[{1}* TO {2}*]", dateField, fromDate.ToString("yyyyMMdd"), toDate.AddDays(1).ToString("yyyyMMdd"));

dateField is the name of the field in your index that holds the date fromDate and toDate are DateTime values for your date range.

How can i apply pagination when i am getting results through Ajax. Any code snippet please.
