Hi!

I just want to have a function where I fetch all assets of a certain type (pdf) and with a list of filenames. Can anyone point me in which direction I should be heading?

/regards

Hi Magnus,

One way to solve this would be to index all assets (using EPiServer Find, Vulcan, vanilla elasticsearch, etc.) and then filter the documents by type and do skip/take.

The best part is that you don't even have to hit the episerver database to get a list of files that match your search criteria.

Thanks for reply Dejan!

But isnt that more for search functionality on web pages? Im building a function where I have a list of files and search for them by name in Epi and then replace binary for these files.

Performance-wise it's faster to retrieve content IDs from a search index than to get them from a database.
