Hi, I am having problem with Search in my custom module. I have used LINQ in Custom modules. And implented ISearchable Interface. But i am not getting the "Is Searchable?" Checkbox enabled/selected. I have tried test search, but it is showing 0 results Could anyone help me in this situation. Here is the class name public partial class DescriptiveView : DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase, Entities.Modules.ISearchable Here is my code. (i am not refereeing module Id in database table) public DotNetNuke.Services.Search.SearchItemInfoCollection GetSearchItems(ModuleInfo ModInfo) { var slIst = from s in dc.descriptiveViews where s.active == true select s; SearchItemInfoCollection SearchItemCollection = new SearchItemInfoCollection(); foreach (var v in slIst) { SearchItemInfo SearchItem; SearchItem = new SearchItemInfo(ModInfo.ModuleTitle + " - " + v.title, v.description, v.createdBy, v.affectiveDate, ModInfo.ModuleID, Convert.ToString(v.objid), v.description); SearchItemCollection.Add(SearchItem); } return SearchItemCollection; } Thanks in Advance

You need to create a business controller class that implements Isearchable, and define this namespace in the Module Definition for your module. DNN Polls that class to see which interface it implements to see if it supports certain DNN features.

You might be able to simply define your business controller class as the class in your control as you are trying to do now, I haven't tried that before, I always put it into a separate class as you might want to implement other interfaces as well down the road.
