So, I am executing my search query and I receive ISearchResults which contains the collection with ISearchResult. I have a property called Text. Using the ID I can easily load the content from Content Cache and get the Text property value from there. But is there a way to get the indexed value for a property directly from Examine? I don't want to query my cache. I have a situation where this is not performing well and would prefer to get the value from the index directly.

When you iterate through the results from your query, you get a set of values with it. Here is a screenshot of the interface of a single result. Any line that includes

Value

contains the values from the index https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1306959458345160745/1306997970436362291/image.png?ex=6738b437&is=673762b7&hm=102074fc25cd421c225489ae479f0b889a669a80a579e0d99d305bf411857b03&

I love that! Will give it a try on Monday! Thanks

Unfortunately no. I always convert the results into

IPublishedContent

. I can't judge your usecase, but the content cache as a bottleneck sounds to me like a red flag

The values are there in a dictionary, so not converting to IPublishedContent should always be faster if you don't need any propertyvalue conversion happening. We do this often when reading simple data fra a searchresult like an id or a string, fx:

csharp
var data = searchResult.GetValues("fieldname").FirstOrDefault();

Usually IPublishedContent is good. But we have PDFs and i need to pull preview text and computing that is slow so i need it from the index
