Can someone explain why I can't search on the "Ancestors&&String" property?
Try following the method at the bottom of this doc page https://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/find/NET-Client-API/searching/Filtering/Complex-objects/
I think you need to use a filter expression such as the MatchContained

So I have a simple method that uses a "dummy"-interface to get the "Ancestors" name so the underlaying FInd API can target the correct property, like this ->
public interface ITracable
{
string[] Ancestors { get; set; }
string CreatedBy { get; set; }
}
mySearchClient.Search<IContent>().Filter(x => ((ITraceable)x).Ancestors.Match("100"))...
But it refuses to return results based on the search on that property. The document in Find looks like this (excerpt) ->
"CreatedBy$$string": "andre", "Ancestors$$string": [ "102486", "102485", "102481", "55", "1" ],
But with the same "Dummy interface" method I can target the "CreatedBy" property and I get search results. How can I correctly target the "Ancestors&&string" property?
Thanks for pointing out what I do wrong!
