Hi,

I implemented search with Examine for Umbraco on my website. My configuration looks like this:

ExamineIndex.config:

 

<!-- The index set for searching the cepec website -->

    <IndexSet SetName="CepecIndexSet" IndexPath="~/App_Data/ExamineIndexes/Cepec/">

        <IndexAttributeFields>

            <add Name="id" />

            <add Name="nodeName" />

            <add Name="updateDate" />

            <add Name="writerName" />

            <add Name="path" />

            <add Name="nodeTypeAlias" />

        </IndexAttributeFields>

        <IndexUserFields>

            <add Name="bodyText" />

            <add Name="pageDescription" />

            <add Name="publicationTitle" />

            <add Name="publicationAuthors" />

            <add Name="publicationAbstract" />

        </IndexUserFields>

        <IncludeNodeTypes/>

        <ExcludeNodeTypes />

    </IndexSet>

 

ExamineSettings.config:

//IndexProvider

<add name="CepecIndexer" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoContentIndexer, UmbracoExamine"

              supportUnpublished="true"

              supportProtected="true"

              interval="10"

              analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.WhitespaceAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"/>

 

//SearchProvider

<add name="CepecSearcher" type="UmbracoExamine.UmbracoExamineSearcher, UmbracoExamine"

                 analyzer="Lucene.Net.Analysis.WhitespaceAnalyzer, Lucene.Net"

                 indexSet="CepecIndexSet"/>

 

The search works, but it is not case-insensitive.

On this blogpost by Aaron Powell on case-insensitive search with Examine, I read that I should use the StandardAnalyzer instead of the WhitespaceAnalyser. I tried to replace the WhiteSpaceAnalyzer with the StandardAnalyzer, but then my search page throws a null reference exception on this line:

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

How can I implement case-insensitive search with Examine for Umbraco?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Anthony
