The simplest way to configure Examine in Umbraco 8!
In Umbraco 7 Examine was configured via the friendly ExamineIndexes.config and ExamineSettings.config config files. However in Umbraco 8 this configuration has moved into code, making it more difficult to configure Examine as desired. This project aims to replicate many of the helpful features of the Umbraco 7 Examine config files within Umbraco 8.
This package is supported on Umbraco 8.4+.
Most of the core functionality is provided by Examine.Config, with some Umbraco specific options sprinkled on top.
The package is available from Our Umbraco, NuGet, or as a manual download directly from GitHub.
You can find a downloadable package, along with a discussion forum for this package, on the Our Umbraco site.
To install from NuGet, run the following command in your instance of Visual Studio.
PM> Install-Package Our.Umbraco.ExamineConfig
The package can be used to configure settings for the "Internal", "External" and "Media" Examine indexes in Umbraco.
It is possible to configure the following settings per index:
| Name | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|
| ParentId | Integer | -1 |
| IncludeItemTypes | Array | Everything |
| ExcludeItemTypes | Array | Nothing |
| SupportProtectedContent | Boolean | false |
Settings are configured within the appsettings section of your web.config file for your Umbraco install. Appsetting names follow a convention of: Umbraco.Examine.{INDEX-NAME}.{SETTING-NAME}.
For example, to enable SupportProtectedContent for the "External" the name would be Umbraco.Examine.ExternalIndex.SupportProtectedContent.
