Search Facets not coming up

Vote:

I am on Commerce Manager 7.5, using Lucene as search provider. I want to have facets returned by the search provider. I checked that the meta fields are included in the search index. I also matched the field names in the search.filters.config file but still no luck. What am I missing?

I am using the code below

 ICatalogSystem system = CatalogContext.Current;
            // Get catalog lists
            CatalogDto catalogs = system.GetCatalogDto();

            // Create Entry Criteria
            CatalogEntrySearchCriteria criteria = new CatalogEntrySearchCriteria();
            // Bind default catalogs if none found
            if (criteria.CatalogNames.Count == 0)
            {
                if (catalogs.Catalog.Count > 0)
                {
                    foreach (CatalogDto.CatalogRow row in catalogs.Catalog)
                    {
                        if (row.IsActive &&
                        row.StartDate <= frameworkcontext.current.currentdatetime && row.enddate>= FrameworkContext.Current.CurrentDateTime)
                        {
                            criteria.CatalogNames.Add(row.Name);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
criteria.StartingRecord = 0;
            criteria.RecordsToRetrieve = 10;
criteria.Sort = new SearchSort("DisplayName");
            criteria.SearchPhrase = "blues";
            criteria.IgnoreFilterOnLanguage = true;
            // Perform search
            results = manager.Search(criteria);

            criteria.MarketId = _currentMarket.GetCurrentMarket().MarketId; 

CatalogEntryResponseGroup responseGroup = new CatalogEntryResponseGroup(CatalogEntryResponseGroup.ResponseGroup.CatalogEntryInfo);
if (criteria.CatalogNames.Count != 0)
              {
                  
                  Mediachase.Commerce.Catalog.Objects.Entries entriess = sfHelper.SearchEntries(criteria, out count, responseGroup, cacheResults, cacheTimeout);

            ISearchFacetGroup[] facets=     sfHelper.GetFacets(false, cacheTimeout);
         
                 // sfHelper.
                  dataSource = new CatalogIndexSearchDataSource();
                  dataSource.TotalResults = count;
                  dataSource.CatalogEntries = entriess;
}

Have you setup the Mediachase.Search.Filters.config file for your facets?

Yes I setup the Mediachase.Search.Filters.config in the front end project. Is that the right place or should it be in the commerce manager project?

It looks like below

Where SearchFacet1 and SearchFacet2 are the meta fields that I am trying to include.

Did you or anyone find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same problem, my SearchResult returns searchhits but the FacetGroup property is empty. I have added records to the configuration file and added the properties to the index.

Could you use this code

ISearchFacetGroup[] facets= sfHelper.SearchEntries(criteria).FacetGroups

instead of

ISearchFacetGroup[] facets= sfHelper.GetFacets(false, cacheTimeout)

In GetFacets, it seems that only call SearchEntries with default CreateSearchCriteria with searchquery.

No, same result unfortunately. I'm using Lucene.

Emelie: Have you set the meta field to searchable? Look in commerce manager, for the meta field sepecified in the mediachase.search.filters.config file. The meta field with the same name sould be set as searchable. This can also be done by code by adding the Searchable attribute to the property.

When this has been set, rerun the index with the "Full Search Index" job.

I have marked the meta fields as searchable and rebuilt the index but still no luck.

[Searchable]
[IncludeInDefaultSearch]
public virtual string ISBN13 { get; set; }

fields with these two attributes makes it search able in CMS Editor mode (Catalog window)

Still having the same issue. I can see values for the Facet fields in Lucene index but facets are not being returned. I am using Luke to have a look at the luncene index.

I think I found the solution.

The search criteria object I was creating using "new CatalogEntrySearchCriteria()" was always sending query without facets to lucene helper function.

Switching to SearchFilterHelper factory class made it start working.

SearchFilterHelper helper= new SearchFilterHelper();
// Create Entry Criteria
CatalogEntrySearchCriteria criteria = helper.CreateSearchCriteria("",new SearchSort(""));

Thanks,

Syed
