Catalog content is ignoring the Find Id I have given it
Are these Epi Commerce products? They will be indexed automatically and you shouldn't specify any ID fields. Epi has already picked a Find identity string.

Ahh, that's probably the issue. It looks like what Epi chooses involves a Guid i.e. CatalogContent_93c105e2-8ed7-413f-b188-450cf3ad9f14_en-US
My issue is I have an external process that does different batch updates of product data. One of the potential update is images. I wanted to be able to just update a single field on the find item. Something like this:
SearchClient.Instance.Update<MyProduct>(id).Field(x => x.ProductImages(), images);
The issue is I don't know the ID, though I would be getting the product code and barcode property in this instance.
Instead what I will have to do is
- Perform a Search with a filter on the barcode to retrieve the item from Find
- Update it
- Reindex it

The Id should be constructed in term of CatalogContent_ContentGuid_Language
So if you have the content, you can construct the id from that

Ahh I get it so it's using the ContentGuid property from CatalogContentBase.
Thanks @Quan Mai

I am indexing products and categories in Find and using an initialisation module to set the client conventions - see below.
[InitializableModule] [ModuleDependency(typeof(EPiServer.Web.InitializationModule))] public class SearchIndexInitialization : IInitializableModule { public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context) { ContentIndexer.Instance.Conventions.ForInstancesOf().ShouldIndex(x => false);
SearchClient.Instance.Conventions.ForInstancesOf()
.IdIs(x => x.Barcode)
.IncludeField(x => x.InStock())
.IncludeField(x => x.DisplayPrice());
SearchClient.Instance.Conventions.ForInstancesOf()
.IdIs(x => x.Barcode);
SearchClient.Instance.Conventions.ForInstancesOf()
.IdIs(x => x.Barcode);
SearchClient.Instance.Conventions.ForInstancesOf()
.IdIs(x => x.Barcode);
SearchClient.Instance.Conventions.ForInstancesOf()
.IdIs(x => x.Code);
} However, the ID field of Barcode and Code for Nodes does not seem to be used. When I run any queries the ID still looks something like this: "CatalogContent_93c105e2-8ed7-413f-b188-450cf3ad9f14_en-US"
Note that BaseProduct is the inherited type of other products and included fields do work. I added the other derived types explicitly just in case it was an inheritance issue but that seems to have no effect.
Is the standard behaviour, a bug or I missing something?
