Hi all,

I'm developing a search, and I can't figure out how to acheive a couple of things when using the GetResult method.

My code looks like so:

var query = SearchClient.Instance
.UnifiedSearchFor(this.Query)
.Skip((this.PagingPage - 1) * CurrentPage.PageSize)
.Take(CurrentPage.PageSize);

var hitSpec = new HitSpecification
{
HighlightTitle = CurrentPage.HighlightTitles,
HighlightExcerpt = CurrentPage.HighlightExcerpts,
ExcerptLength = CurrentPage.ExcerptLength
};

var results = query.GetResult(hitSpec, true);

The issues I have are:

• In certain scenarios we need to suppress CMS files from being returned in the results. Is building a filter the best way for this?
• The Excerpt is currently part of the main content on the page. We would like to use a specific field, or if it is blank fallback to EPiServer's FIND's definition of the Excerpt. I thought I would be able to acehive this using Projections, but actually I can't see to use Projections with a unified search. Am I looking at this in the right way? Is there a better way of changing the value of Excerpt?
• We want to show highlighting in the title and excerpt. I have created a HitSpecification, but I dont think this alone is enough (because it's not working!). Is there something else I also need to do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Al
