Searchable Properties
Configuring searchable properties in Umbraco UI Builder, the backoffice UI builder for Umbraco.
Searchable properties allow you to define any String based properties on a model. They will be searchable via Umbraco UI Builder's list view and entity picker search controls.
You can also use any String based property of nested objects of a model, as long as the parent object is not null.
Defining searchable properties
AddSearchableProperty(Lambda searchablePropertyExpression) : CollectionConfigBuilder<TEntityType>
Adds the given property to the searchable properties collection.
// Example
collectionConfig.AddSearchableProperty(p => p.FirstName);
collectionConfig.AddSearchableProperty(p => p.Address.Street);Search Expression Pattern
Up to version 13.1.6, the search was performed using the StartsWith method call.
From 13.1.6 and up, search operations can be performed using the Contains method call.
// Example
collectionConfig.AddSearchableProperty(p => p.FirstName); // will search for keywords that start with.
collectionConfig.AddSearchableProperty(p => p.FirstName, SearchExpressionPattern.Contains); // will search for keywords that are contained.Last updated
