Umbraco Website Search Functionality-IMP

Riddhi Valecha

Hello Team,

I have a MVC Project with Umbraco Client installed in it.

I need to make a search functionality.

Here, the user will type one or more words in a text box, and click on "Search" button.

Then, on the click event of the button, the system will list down all the pages along with the URL where the particular word/words that the user have entered, is.are used.

This is something like - searching text within the website.

Please help me out with this.

Hello Team,

Please guide - How do I search all words within mvc website using Umbraco.

Not able to do this.

I guess, you still have not included the index and that is the reason you are not getting search results.
you need to first understand that how Umbraco search works, it depends on Examine, so first, you should understand the examine, then the search functionality will be a piece of cake for you.

step 1.
"/search/" method="GET">
        "text" placeholder="Search..." name="query">


step 2.
@{
        var searchQuery = Request.QueryString["query"];

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(searchQuery))
        {
            class="searchresults">

Your search results for @searchQuery



                    @foreach (var result in Umbraco.Search(searchQuery))
                    {


                            "@result.Url">@result.Name


                    }
}
}

and you don't need anything to code in the controller.
