Pipe delimited template IDs not working

[tohams]

I'm trying to search based on several template IDs. This code does not return anything:

var searchParam = new SearchParam { Database = Sitecore.Context.Database.Name, Language = Sitecore.Context.Language.Name, TemplateIds = "{F05D8987-0241-48A1-A3FE-8F32872867C9}|{3333EF02-EA66-4FEA-8A9B-B82A72C34756}|{91B4744D-B60F-4FA8-A420-E32E4519A1D6}" };

However, this code does return results:

var searchParam = new SearchParam { Database = Sitecore.Context.Database.Name, Language = Sitecore.Context.Language.Name, TemplateIds = "{F05D8987-0241-48A1-A3FE-8F32872867C9}" };

My understanding is that the GUIDs should be pipe delimited, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work.

Is it me? Thanks!!

Hi Tohams,

I've reviewed the code of SearchParam class, and can see that multiple GUIDs are not supported for the Template filter. While I cannot recall why I decided not to do it for this filter, you can change this behavior by altering the ApplyTemplateFilter() method and call ApplyIdFilter from there which would take multiple GUIDs into account. This is quite a straightforward change, and I think I will incorporate it into the next ver. Please let me know if this does not work. I briefly tested locally, seems to be working great.

Totally worked. Easy money. Thanks!

I am not quite as smart as Tohams and I need a little bit more help. Can you list ApplyTemplateFilter with the update you are talking about? I see that ApplyIdFilter has 2 paramaters, fieldname and filter, that are not in ApplyTemplateFilter, and I am not sure what values to put in there. Thanks.

I figured it out, guess I'm a bit smarter than I thought. Thanks for the great tool!
