Hi Scott,

Good morning, Many thanks for the clarification. I truly appreciate your assistance. Your video explanation does help lots.

Still, I am confused, My requirement is , I want to do dynamic lucene search in Dnn. I have many Custom modules. I want to do one master search button on home page.

As you replied first search,  module's custom data into the lucene search by converting the Item model object to a Search Document to be indexed by lucene.

I have one MVC API Category list is ready. I am trying to follow your below link:
 .https://www.dnnhero.com/Premium/Tutorial/ArticleID/307/Search-Integration-Implement-SearchModuleBase-Part-3-4

Site Crawler -re indexing--
It comes on break point on this method[GetModifiedSearchDocuments]. But I do not see any data item. It does display only "0" 

Do i need to use search API in this ?
Please advise.

Second,
I did review the code DotNetNuclear_HandlebarsCustomResults demo I do not see that you used any Lucene search  API in it.

On the vedio screen, I see, you are explaling the lucene serach API but code behind in In this[DotNetNuclear_HandlebarsCustomResults demo] ,
  I do not see any implementation of Lucene API.

Do I need to implement the  lucene search API in this[DotNetNuclear_HandlebarsCustomResults] or Just what ever in code, I should follow that only , will it  display lucene search.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
