Skybrud.Umbraco.Search v3.0.0-beta013

New beta release for Umbraco 8 🎉

Installation

• Install via NuGet

Changelog

• Updated GetSortValueByDateTime method to use DateTime.TryParseExact instead of DateTime.TParseExact (see #9 and 2657405)
  It seems that Umbraco may on occasion index a date in another format than it usually does, and if so, this would cause the GetSortValueByDateTime method to throw an exception as DateTime.ParseExact would try to parse a value in a different format from what we have specified.

  With this release, we're instead using DateTime.TryParseExact, which doesn't throw an exception if it meets an unrecognized format. Instead the GetSortValueByDateTime will now fall back to the result's create date instead - as well as append a warning to Umbraco's log.

Skybrud.Umbraco.Search v3.0.0-beta012

Installation

• Install via NuGet

Changes

• ✅ Changed composer runtime level to prevent errors during installs and upgrades (see #7 and 3d1651d)
  Since value converters are registered at boot, SearchComposer needs to run at boot as well to avoid errors when installing or upgrading Umbraco.

• 🆕 Implemented ToString method override for the QueryList class (see f994032)
  The value returned by the QueryList.ToString method now equals calling the QueryList.GetRawQuery() method.

• 🆕 Introduced new AddHideFromSearch extension methods for the ExamineIndexingExtensions class (see 669abd5)
  The methods aids in setting a flag for whether a given node should be hidden/excluded from search results. Overloads also lets developers specify one or more IDs that should be excluded, including descendants of the nodes with the specified IDs.

Skybrud.Umbraco.Search v3.0.0-beta011

Installation

• Install via NuGet

Changes

• ✅ Fixed some issues with HTML stripping in IndexingHelper class (see 77d4aa4)
  Prior to this commit, an HTML value like <strong>Hello</strong><br /><strong>World</strong> would become HelloWorld instead of Hello World, meaning we wouldn't find anything if searching for world.

• 🆕 Added new extension methods to ExamineIndexingExtensions class to help with indexing block list values (see 1d19728)

• 🆕 Updated the implementation of the QueryList class (see 9e957b4)

  • The internal list is now protected instead of private to allow sub classes to read from and write to it.
  • Introduced a new QueryListType enum to indicate whether the list should be AND or OR based (AND is default)
  • Implemented custom ToString() method which returns the raw query, which then ensures support for nested query lists

Skybrud.Umbraco.Search v3.0.0-beta010

Installation

• Install via NuGet

Changes

• 🆕 SearchGroup and SearchGroupResultList now supports specifying a type (see 26a2f2d)
  Generally it should be safer to check the type of the group than it's ID, as the IDs may change or be dynamic.

Skybrud.Umbraco.Search v3.0.0-beta009

Installation

• Install via NuGet

Changes

• 🆕 Introduced new ISortOptions interface for handling sorting directly in Examine (see 7102edb and fc4f59b)
  The interface is an alternative to the existing IPostSortOptions interface.

• 🆕 Bumped Umbraco dependency (see 2106e16)
  As this release now contains logic for indexing the block list, it was necessary updating the Umbraco reference to 8.7.0.

• 🆕 Introduced new IndexingHelper class and IIndexingHelper interface (1287917 and d538fea)
  The interface and it's corresponding implementation contains various logic for indexing components in Umbraco - eg. the block list.

Skybrud.Umbraco.Search v3.0.0-beta008

Installation

• Install via NuGet

Changes

• 🅱 Updated ISearchOptions interface to replace GetRawQuery method with GetBooleanOperation method (6e30799)
  By returning an IBooleanOperation instead of a raw string to add support for both the Examine Fluent API and raw Examine queries (opposed to only raw Examine queries before).

• 🅱 Removed forms models in favor of Skybrud.Forms package (see 881a0d0)
  The models weren't directly used by this package, so the Skybrud.Forms should now be used instead.

• 🆕 Isolated logic for creating an IQuery into a new virtual method (see 112eca0)
  The default implementation will call searcher.CreateQuery() (no parameters), but as the method is virtual, it can be overriden to pass on parameters to the searcher.CreateQuery() method.

Skybrud.Umbraco.Search v3.0.0-beta007

Installation

• Install via NuGet

Changes

• 🆕 The IndexDate methods should be extension methods (91d3443)
  By mistake, the two IndexDate methods were missing the this keyword that turns them into extension methods.

• 🆕 Renaming the MakeCsvSearchable and MakeUdisSearchable methods (see b677d2c)
  The MakeCsvSearchable and MakeUdisSearchable has been renamed to IndexCsv and IndexUdis. The old names are still available, but now marked as obsolete.

Skybrud.Umbraco.Search v3.0.0-beta006

Installation

• Install via NuGet

Breaking changes

• 🅱️ Dropped TextFields property in favor of virtual GetTextFields method (see 8ca0e98)
  The method allows greater flexibility - eg. if the fields should be calculated from other properties on the options class. If you're using the SearchOptionsBase class, this will be a breaking change.

Other changes

• 🆕 Introduced new ExamineIndexingExtensions class (see 3708bf2, b445250 and fc797c9)
  The class provides extension methods for the IndexingItemEventArgs class, which can aid adding custom fields to Examine indexes.

• 🆕 Added more method overloads to the QueryListExtensions class (2d75dfc)
  The AppendNodeTypeAliases and AppendAncestors both now have overloads for specifying a collection (IEnumerable) as parameter instead of just an array.

Skybrud.Umbraco.Search v3.0.0-beta005

Installation

• Install via NuGet

Changelog

• Added extra null checks (see db9694f)
  A few of the Search methods allow specifying a callback method which will be applied to each result on the current page. The callback may for whatever reason return null, in which case the result is now skipped to prevent null reference exceptions.

• Added constant for the PDF index (see e4ce8fc)
  The UmbracoCms.UmbracoExamine.PDF package defines a PDF index. although it's not default in Umbraco, the constant is handy to have around.

• Fixed issue in the AppendAncestors extension method (5b45a17)
  The method wouldn't enclose the IDs in a parenthesis, which then would end in the query giving an incorrect meaning.
