When performing the search, you just need to locate what part of the tree structure you are inside, and filter the Ancestors-list by that:

.Filter(x => x.Ancestors().Match(a-b-or-f-page.ContentLink.ToReferenceWithoutVersion().ToString())


If a, b and f are landing pages of the same page type, you could do simething like this:

public static T GetParentOfType<T>(this ContentReference contentReference) where T : PageData
{
	if (contentReference.IsNullOrEmpty())
		return null;

	while (contentReference != ContentReference.EmptyReference)
	{
		var content = contentReference.Get<PageData>();
		if (content is T)
			return content as T;

		if (contentReference.Equals(ContentReference.StartPage))
			return null;

		if (content == null)
			return null;

		contentReference = content.ParentLink;
	}

	return null;
}


And then:

.Filter(x => x.Ancestors().Match(currentPage.GetParentOfType<MyLandingPage>().ContentLink.ToReferenceWithoutVersion().ToString())

Ancestors() is an extensions method defined in the namespace EPiServer.Find.Cms.ContentExtensions

What version of Find are you using?
