I am using episerver index searching. I cannot figure out what the problem. Can anyone shed some light on this.

 Thank you.

This is a known bug in our system:

Bug 50566: String fragments are not serializable which may cause failure on serialization of PageData objects

It has been fixed in CMS 6 R2 release.

Hi!

The exception message seems to deal with EPiServer CMS 5 so it's probably not the bug Tobias assumed. The exception states that there are built in properties that are not serializable. I don't know if this is the case but perhaps you could solve this by not serializing an entire PageData-object. Perhaps store a PageReference instead?
