Hi Epi Devs,

Wondering how you set up the search so that it returns the category of the page that's been index and return in search?

I can see in the indexed JSON that the category is there.

One way I have found is to create a method to convert a hit, returned by Find, into a PageData object and calling this when processing the results. This gives access to the page properties and can then be cast as a page of specific type to get page type specific properties.

public static PageData ConvertFindResultToPageData(UnifiedSearchHit hit)
{
    var url = new UrlBuilder(hit.Url.ToString());
    var hitReference = UrlResolver.Current.Route(new UrlBuilder(url));
    PageData hitPage = DataFactory.Instance.GetPage(new PageReference(hitReference.ContentLink.ID));

    return hitPage;
}
