  Nice gabe!
  
  Any idea where the Sitefinity with popular APIs webinar went to on Telerik?  They keep telling me it'll be up there, but it's been what, 3-4 weeks?

  Hey Steve, good to hear from you.
  
  
  I tracked down the video and posted it yesterday.  You can find it by clicking here.

  Hi Gabe, I'm curious, our search results are returning results from other languages since we have localization turned on. Is there any way to have the search provider only return content for the locale the user is viewing?
  
  For example, if I have selected to view the site in German, can the search provider only return German results? Currently it returns results from all languages.
  
  Thanks again for any help and/or direction!

  Gabe,
  
  This is brilliant! Thanks a lot for that, the best info I have found so far regarding Sitefinity development ... and I have spent considerable time with Sitefinity's developer manual and support team already.
  
  Cheers,
  Rudi

  Hi Gabe,
  
  Great work on this webinar! It really helped me, but I still cannot get what I need. I have to do a search result control which displays pages content and news. The problem is that if it's news in the search result I have to display the publish date in separate field! I managed to retrieve the data I need and setting up a custom search provider, index, settings, etc. Now I can easily get all the news with:
  
  ContentManager manager = new ContentManager("News");
allNews = manager.GetContent();
  
  But I also would like to index the pages and their contents? How can I do that?
  
  The other thing I would like to ask is - how can I create own SearchResult.ascx with code-behind. I cannot simply create new webcontrol and inherit from Telerik.Search.WebControls.SearchResult, because it breaks!
  
  I would be glad if you could answer!
  
  Kind regards,
  Angel

  Hi Gabe.

  Fantastic - thanks! I had been struggling to understand how to do a custom search for data which exists outside of sitefinity. You made that clear and now I have it working.

  All the best,

  Ross.
