Getting wrong data with UnifiedSearch

Vote:

I'm using CMS 6 r2 with UnifiedSearch. I've declared the property SearchSummary in my basepage (PageType Builder 2.0).

public string SearchSummary
{
get
{
var propertyMainIntro = this.Property.ExistsLocally("MainIntro") && this["MainIntro"] != null ? this["MainIntro"].ToString() : String.Empty;
if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(propertyMainIntro))
{
return propertyMainIntro;
}
return String.Empty;
}
}

In some cases the Excerpt field on the UnifiedSearchHit object only gives me the MainIntro field, which is correct. For some of the other pages I get both the MainIntro and MainBody field. Both pagetypes inherit the basepage. There are no differences for the two page types in my indexing convention.

Any tips?

Seems that when the MainIntro field is populated with html tags, both these tags and MainBody is retrieved. Why is MainBody retrieved at all? Is it a default "fallback property"?

Hi,

By "default" all properties marked as Searchable in the page definition is included in SearchText that in turn is a "fallback" property. If you only want SearchSummary in the Excerpt you can override the defult Excerpt projection by:

client.Conventions.UnifiedSearchRegistry.ForInstanceOf<MyBasePageType>()
.ProjectExcerptUsing<ISearchContent>(spec =>
x => x.SearchText.AsCropped(spec.ExcerptLength));

If you are using Highlighting you have to override the HighlightExcerpt by:

client.Conventions.UnifiedSearchRegistry.ForInstanceOf<MyBasePageType>()
.ProjectHighlightedExcerptUsing<ISearchContent>(spec =>
x => x.SearchSummary.AsHighlighted(
new HighlightSpec { FragmentSize = spec.ExcerptLength, NumberOfFragments = 1 }));

Regards,
Henrik

How would this work with the singleton?

I don't get intelliSense for the .ProjectExcerptUsing method in my indexing convention class.

Swap client to SearchClient.Instance and add EPiServer.Find.UnifiedSearch to your usings.

I first tried this without any luck:

SearchClient.Instance.Conventions.UnifiedSearchRegistry.ForInstanceOf<PageType_BasePage>()
.ProjectHighlightedExcerptUsing<ISearchContent>(spec => x => x.SearchSummary.AsHighlighted(new HighlightSpec { FragmentSize = spec.ExcerptLength, NumberOfFragments = 1 }));

Here is the result from the search on a specifici test article, using the code above. Properties in order are title, heading, intro, body. As you can see the intro is just an empty <strong> tag. As soon as I populate the tag with something, the intro alone is returned in the result.

Testartikkel Testartikkel <strong></strong> Brødtekst

Since I haven't actually implement ISearchContent but rather declared the properties with the same name and type I tried the following, also without any luck:

SearchClient.Instance.Conventions.UnifiedSearchRegistry.ForInstanceOf<PageType_BasePage>()
.ProjectHighlightedExcerptUsing<PageType_BasePage>(spec => x => x.SearchSummary.AsHighlighted(new HighlightSpec { FragmentSize = spec.ExcerptLength, NumberOfFragments = 1 }));

This is not really a big showstopper though, as I can just filter out the html tags before displaying the result.

As you have edited Highlighting excerpts are you passing the HitsSpecification to GetResult?

.GetResult(new HitSpecification { HighlightExcerpt = true })

and that you are using the .For(querystring) so that it has something to highlight on?

No, I hadn't passed the HitsSpec, but I've done so now and it looks like it works.

Thanks :)
