Find Index too specific

Hi,

We are using the latest FIND together with Episerver 8 and we are having troubles with the Index.

On our site we have a number of pages, for example: Thanks, Thank You etc and in the CMS, under FIND, if you search for "Thank" FIND will only find the Thank You page. How do you make it find both Thanks and Thank You? Such as an SQL LIKE.

Also, how do you prevent FIND from displaying any pages that have Display in Navigation Unticked?

Thanks

Jon

Hello Jon

Are you using a unified or typed search?

If you are using unified search you need to specifiy a language to enable stemming for example:

var results = client.UnifiedSearchFor("Thanks", Language.English).GetResult();

See this for more info: http://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-Find/9/DotNET-Client-API/Searching/Boosting-with-weights/

If you are using a typed search you need also need to specifiy a language to enable stemming but this also means you can filter on the VisibleInMenu propperty too:

client.Search<ArticlePage>(Language.English)
    .For("Thanks")
    .Filter(x => x.VisibleInMenu.Match(true));
