How to use Find to search both cms pages and products in one request

Hi,

I would like to search both cms pages e.g. standpages and commerce products, categories in one request

I tried to use the following solution but it seems not working correctly and I have problem with the value of totalmatching.

...

multiSearch = searchClient.Search<ContentData>().For(query).FilterForVisitor(currentLanguage).Skip(skip).Take(itemsPerPage).Track().GetContentResult();

foreach (var item in multiSearch)
{
if (item is Article)
{var article = ((Article)item);

....}

else if (item is Category)
{
var category = ((Category)item);

...}

else if (item is SitePageData)
{ var pageData = ((SitePageData)item);

...}

Any suggestions guys?

Thanks,

ChiChing

Have you seen this? https://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-Find/11/DotNET-Client-API/Searching/Searching-over-multiple-types/

I usually do a MultiSearch though (https://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-Find/11/DotNET-Client-API/Searching/Multiple-searches-in-one-request/) as mostly I want to split the results to separate tabs or something

Hi Jeroen,

Thanks for the link!

Did you use something like this?

results = service.MultiSearch<ContentData>()
                .Search<Article>(x => x.For(query))
                .Search<Category>(x => x.For(query))
                .GetResult();

I actually used this: https://github.com/BVNetwork/DynamicMultiSearch

But I guess you could do it like you do, or maybe use
