Hi,

I've been trying to get the search functionality from Umbraco Utilities working with Umbraco v3 (compiled from latest SVN code on 12/03/07) and haven't been having much luck - does Umbraco Search work with v3?

Specifically, I checked out Umbraco Utilities from svn://svn.umbraco.org/var/lib/svn/umbraco-extensions/umbracoUtilities and tried to follow the only documentation I could find - http://www.umbraco.org/frontpage/download/extensions/umbracoutilities/umbsearchresult.aspx, - but struggled because that document appears to be out of date.

With a bit of fumbling around I got the DLLs installed, macro setup, etc, but whenever I try to force the search module to index our site ("Debug: Create index" button from the search results macro running in debug mode) it throws a NullReferenceException.

I used Luke (http://www.getopt.org/luke/) to have a look at the index and it appears to have indexed about 10 pages from the site before crashing, and I can't spot an obvious reason why it would be crashing on the last node shown in the index (or the nodes after that one).

Also, the search module appears to be ignoring the "indexDataWithAliases" setting in /data/umbracoSearchConfig.xml, so even the part of the site it managed to index isn't indexed properly.

Have I done something wrong? Are there any workarounds for the problems I'm seeing? Or is Umbraco Search simply not yet compatible with v3?

Thanks,
Matt

Lefteris,

I have'nt used it yet. I have my own dirty hack one which i did ages ago which is merger of old umbracoUtilities and some media indexing code that niels gave me. The media indexing code is in the new one in codeplex
