ICachedQueryProvider Properties

📘

Examine backed queries

Generally speaking CachedQueryProviders in Merchello have to workflows.

  1. Single entity queries like GetByKey will first check the respective Merchello Examine index for the existence of the GUID key passed and return value directly from the index if found. If the value is not found, the full graph object query is performed against the database and the value is re-indexed if found then returned.

  2. Queries that return a collection, like Search( ... ) will first query the database for a Page which then searches the Examine index using the GetByKey method described above.
