Umbraco 5: site search

Question

Is there a viable way to search an Umbraco 5 site? I've read a lot on XLST search, but nothing using MVC3. It also seems that Examine is coming a little bit buggy, as even the backoffice has lost the search box that was present in v4. Any ideas?

Answer 1

As you know Umbraco V5 is retire; you can try 4.x and do the above with user controls that do search logic using umbraco node factory.

Hope you get my views.
