Facet in UnifiedSearch for MetaData

Daniel Sundqvist

Vote:

I have addead metadata containing commaseparetad strings, I would like to facet on those in Find.

I have tried

query = query.TermsFacetFor(x => x.SearchMetaData["Publishers"].StringValue.Split(new[] { ',' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries));

But it does only give me a facet with name SearchMetaData.Publishers.StringValue.Split and no terms. How do i get facets on other properties in UnifiedSearch?

I would probably wrap that string splitting in a separate method on the object and then make a client convention to index that and then facet on it.

If you don't want to modify your nice object with a new method, you can always make an extension method for it on that object type to keep it nice and clean.
