Calling Search via API - Sitefinity - General Discussions

Im working on a search implementation that will require me to get the search results from Sitefinity using the API. Previously I was using this:

var searchManager = SearchManager.GetManager(null);

var searchQuery = string.Format("*0*",searchTerm);

var results = searchManager.Find("sitefinity-content-index", searchQuery);

This doesn't seem to return any results?

Is there a better way to go about this in Sitefinity 4.2?

Hi Jerami,

At the moment search via query that contains wildcard at the beginning of a word is disabled because of additional performance hit with large indexes. For more information http://manfredlange.blogspot.com/2010/07/wildcard-searches-in-lucenenet.html

At the moment we do not have a automatic configuration that can turn on the search via query that contains wildcard at beginning of a word. I logged a task that will allow easy configuration of the Query Parser.

If you need a working solution ASAP I can provide you with details how to replace the LuceneSearchProvider and which classes to override in order to configure Query Parser to allow leading wildcard search.

Let me know about your decision!
Thanks for sharing this valuable feedback!
