Nested query doesn't return results

[bjarnef]

We have a query builder constructing a nested query, so value of registration deadline or end date need to be between DateTime.Now and DateTime.MaxValue.

if (_hasEnded.HasValue && _hasEnded.Value == false)
{
    query.And().Group(x =>
    {
        return x.RangeQuery<DateTime>(new[]
        {
            Constants.Examine.CourseInstance.FieldNames.RegistrationDeadline
        }, DateTime.Now, DateTime.MaxValue)
        .Or()
        .RangeQuery<DateTime>(new[]
        {
            Constants.Examine.CourseInstance.FieldNames.EndDate
        }, DateTime.Now, DateTime.MaxValue);
    });
}

this has been simplified a bit.

which generates a Lucene query like:

+__IndexType:courseinstance +hideFromSearch:0 +(categoryID:42291) +isCancelled:0 +((registrationDeadline:[638128410874010000 TO 3155378975999990000]) (endDate:[638128410874010000 TO 3155378975999990000])) +(categoryID:42291) +isCancelled:0 +((registrationDeadline:[638128411018970000 TO 3155378975999990000]) (endDate:[638128411018970000 TO 3155378975999990000]))

The raw query executed in Examine dashboard shows results:

but not mapped to ISearchResults:

when I comment this part I get results:

Umbraco v10.4.0
Examine v3.0.1

I had another scenario in same project, where I did this:

query.And().Group(x =>
{
    // Start with a range query for first duration range.
    var inner = x.RangeQuery<double>(durationFields, first.Min ?? 0, first.Max ?? double.MaxValue);
    
    // Create a range query and OR operation for each duration.
    foreach (var duration in _durations.Skip(1))
    {
        inner.Or().RangeQuery<double>(durationFields,
            duration.Min ?? 0,
            duration.Max ?? double.MaxValue);
    }

    return inner;
});

where durations variable is List<NumberRange and NumberRange defined as:

public class NumberRange
{
    public NumberRange() { }

    public NumberRange(int? min, int? max)
    {
        Min = min;
        Max = max;
    }

    public int? Min { get; set; }
    public int? Max { get; set; }
}

I think it would be great it the docs showed a few example of nested queries using .Group() where input is INestedQuery and output is INestedBooleanOperation.

Any chance you can create a test in the FluentApiTests to replicate?

[bjarnef]

@Shazwazza I have made an attempt to add test case in #334

In the specific project I used the NumberRange class as mentioned, but not sure we want to include that, so I just used a dictionary for now.

The test case is the one which should work, but originally something like this didn't seem to work:

query.And().Group(x =>
{
    return x.RangeQuery<DateTime>(new[]
    {
        Constants.Examine.CourseInstance.FieldNames.RegistrationDeadline
    }, DateTime.Now, DateTime.MaxValue)
    .Or()
    .RangeQuery<DateTime>(new[]
    {
        Constants.Examine.CourseInstance.FieldNames.EndDate
    }, DateTime.Now, DateTime.MaxValue);
});
