EPiServer Search - Can't resolve symbol error

I have copy pasted following code from the EPiServer 7 CMS SDK Documentation:

SearchResults results = Locate.SearchHandler().GetSearchResults(groupQuery, pagingNumber, pagingSize);

        ContentSearchHandler contentSearchHandler = Locate.ContentSearchHandler();
        foreach (var hit in results.IndexResponseItems)
        {
            // Use the content search handler to convert the page hit into a PageData
            yield return contentSearchHandler.GetContent<PageData>(hit);
        }

And I can't resolve the text marked in bold.
Which assembly to I need to add to my references or what namespace should I add?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Daniel,

The Locate is a instance of the ServiceLocator and is a property inherited from the PageBase class I think.

Hi Daniel

I don't see what part is in bold but I was able to get the code from the EPiServer 7 CMS Documentation to work by replacing

ContentSearchHandler contentSearchHandler = Locate.ContentSearchHandler();

with

var serviceLocationHelper = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ServiceLocationHelper>();
var contentSearchHandler = serviceLocationHelper.ContentSearchHandler();

Hi,

In addition, instead of locating the ServiceLocationHelper, which is a class that contains common shortcuts to the ServiceLocator, and retrieving the search handler from there, you can fetch the search handler directly from the ServiceLocator:

var contentSearchHandler = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<ContentSearchHandler>();
