Restrict search to language branch

Vote:

I've built our site by modifying the public templates and I've got a little problem with the search function. It performs the search globaly and not just in the language branch that it concernes. I thoght removing the global-statement from SearchDataSource.SearchLocations = "~/Global/,~/Documents/,~/PageFiles/"; would do the trick but it still gets pages from the other branches. Is there any other place in which the global search can be removed?

Best regards,

Set the LanguageBranches property of the SearchDataSource (it's a comma separated list of language branch strings ("en" etc.)).

Add SearchDataSource.LanguageBranches = Locale((PageBase)Page); to your SearchDataSource.
