Select custom search index according to language/culture in search results

Hello

I have a bilingual site with a custom search index (for media library files) for each language.

In the search results page I would like to select what index to search according to the current language (right now all indexes are searched regardless of the current culture so the user gets results in foreign languages). I thought about using a macro or tailor the code, but I'm not sure what is the best way and where to begin.

Would appreciate an advice.

Thank you!

RE:Select custom search index according to language/culture in search results

Hi Norm,

There are two options:

You can have both cultures in the same index and specify the culture code property in the Web part to be: {%CurrentDocument.DocumentCulture%} - this would ensure that only documents in the currently selected culture show in the results.

Alternatively, you can proceed with your current setup and use a K# statement to evaluate the current culture, using the same macro, and output the appropriate index name. Let me know if you need any help with the syntax.

Does that help?

Regards,
Sandro
