Problem using a PageDataCollection as DataSource to PageSearch

I have an advanced search page with lots of different ways to search for information. Basically, I want to search for pages with a specific search query string combined with a property criteria search. Since the property criteria search: Global.EPDataFactory.FindPagesWithCriteria(PageReference, PropertyCriteriaCollection) can only start it's search from a specific PageRef, while the PageSearch can start the search from a PageDataCollection, I need to do the property search first. The normal query search alone works just fine. The property search alone works just fine. If I try the query search based on the results of the property search, the result still shows all the property search results. (Note! The code is altered a bit)


private bool DoSearch() {
// Add criterias
PropertyCriteriaCollection pcc = GetCriteriaCollection();
PageReference prCrit = ContainerPage.GetReferenceFromProperty("LibraryContainerPage");  // start point for prop. search

// Find pages with criteria and do normal search on result page collection
searcher.DataSource = Global.EPDataFactory.FindPagesWithCriteria(prCrit, pcc);
searcher.DataBind();

searcher.SearchQuery = SearchQuery;
searcher.MaxAllowHits = 1000;
searcher.SortOrder = FilterSortOrder.Alphabetical;
searcher.Filter += new EPiServer.WebControls.FilterEventHandler(PageIsLibraryResourcePageType);
searcher.DataBind();

// Find pages based on query
PageDataCollection pdcFinal = searcher.GetPageDataCollection();
...

// Add result to datagrid
dgResult.DataSource = pdcFinal;
dgResult.DataBind();
}

I ws almost positive that it it a databinding problem, but I have tried databinding now in different ways. Why, oh why? The DataSource property of the PageSearch class is not read-only so it seems like it should be possible to do it this way. Help, please.

Have you tried:


{...}
searcher.Criterias = pcc;
searcher.PageLink = prCrit;
{...}

Which would get the result in one single search.

The Criteria property is read-only. Thanks anyway.

Ah right! But the criteria collection itself isn't read-only so this will do it:


{...}
foreach (PropertyCriteria pc in pcc) {
	searcher.Criterias.Add(pc);
}
searcher.DataBind();
{...}
