EpiServer FIND Indexing Sub Sites

Hi,

I have a site that has "Micro Sites". This means that we have a large single site which has Child pages that create a sort of Sub Site. For example:

> MainHome
          > About Us
          > Contact Us
          > Search Results
          > MicroSite1Home
                          > About Us
                          > Contact Us
                          > Search Results
          > MicroSite2Home
                          > About Us
                          > Contact Us
                          > Search Results
           > FAQ

Is it possible to set up FIND Search pages on the Main Home page and a seperate FIND Search page on each Microsite so that the results only reflect per mainsite/microsite?

So basically, using the diagram above, when the user is browsing the MainHome (www.MainHome.com) site they can search just this section.

If a user is browsing the Microsite1Home (www.MainHome.com/MicroSite1Home) site they can search just this section of the site?

Plus, we use Templates and Composer elements so these need to be indexed.

Hope this makes sense,

Jon

There are a couple of extension methods you could use for this. Example: Ancestors().

SearchClient.Instance.Search<IContent>().Filter(x => x.Ancestors().Match(ContentReference.StartPage.ToString());

I would suggest Ancestors also. Another option is to use the built in Categories within EPiServer and mark each page by the "sub-site" category for example: MainSite, Microsite1, Microsite2

Then its only a simple Filter on category
