Hi TheIMan,

you can add your custom parameters with ProviderAttributes, and you can do so by adding new attribute to your provider element in the web.config e.g.



After you do so you can extract them by accessing the ProviderAttributes hash table in your provider e.g.

object value1 = ProviderAttributes["CustomAttribute1"];
object value2 = ProviderAttributes["CustomAttribute2"];
object value3 = ProviderAttributes["CustomAttribute3"];

If you have any other questions don't hesitate to post them here.

Regards

Yes - that works, but i actualy want to add parameters dynamically. I want to add a 'scope' parameter to influence the search. Ex. i want it to have one value in the products section, and another value ind the services section.
I have tryed to ad querystring parameter 'srchp', 'param' in the url-rewriter. Not any luck so far.

Thank you for the reply.

Hi Jesper,

SearchParams are not supported in this version. We are working on the new MonoX version which will have SearchParams fully functional. New version of MonoX will be available in 30 days or so, it will be announced on the company web site.

If this functionality is crucial for your application please contact us directly and we will try to provide you with a build (beta) version that has SearchParams available.

It is crusial for our site to scope the searches, so it would be nice to try out the beta version. Is it possible to just get the controle?
