Rewriting a query from GetContentResult() to GetSearch()

I had the following query

return _client.Search<AuthorPage>()
    .Filter(x => x.IsDeleted.Match(false))
    .Filter(x => x.SearchSubsection().Match("Authors"))
    .Filter(x => x.Email.MatchCaseInsensitive(email))
    .GetContentResult()
    .Where(x => !x.IsExpired())
    .OrderByDescending(x => x.Status) --no longer need here
    .FirstOrDefault(); --no longer need here

Now I need to rewrite it to use .GetResult() to get the ContentLink.ID. I do not seem to find a way to combine all of the following

to filter out deleted and expired items,
to search only in a particular folder,
to match an email
and then return the ContentLink.ID

Anyone able to assist with this? = )

You can use all of the filters except the one with IsExpired before the .Select projection.

return _client.Search<AuthorPage>()

.Filter(x => x.IsDeleted.Match(false))

.Filter(x => x.SearchSubsection().Match("Authors"))

.Filter(x => x.Email.MatchCaseInsensitive(email))

.Select(x=> new { x.ContentLink } )

.GetResults();

i am on phone now so can't verify but it should just work

I am not getting any results your way. Three ways I tried it, the results are below. The first (anotherTrial) tried without the Take(1000) first, did not work either

The test is not equipvalent as far as I can tell because the resultId is without the subsection matching for "Author"?

You are right, missed that.

Another question - previously with one query I was getting and returning a page.

Now first I get content link. Then I have to use contentVersionRepository to get a version. And then I still need to get an actual page.

Isn't there a shorter way to accomplish this?

no shorter way that I know of to achieve what you want. GetContentResult only gets the content behind the scene, but you can't control which version you want to get.

I'd reckon what you are doing is the right way - it gives you total control of what you get
