Did you ever find an example or a starting off point? I want to use this in my umbraco but I too am stuck and needs a basic example so I can figure out how to do a basic call. The docs saying "query.And().IsPublished()" don't really help new people and Visual Studio is clueless on these commands and wants to change them all to LINQ queries.

After a bit of work, lots of sugar. I was able to build this basic example that should help people in the feature.

`using Examine;
using Our.Umbraco.Extensions.Search;
using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models.PublishedContent;
using Umbraco.Cms.Web.Common;

namespace Helper_Classes
{
public class SearchHelper
{
private readonly IExamineManager _examineManger;
private readonly UmbracoHelper _umbracoHelper;

    public SearchHelper(IExamineManager examineManager, UmbracoHelper umbracoHelper)
    {
        _examineManger = examineManager;
        _umbracoHelper = umbracoHelper;
    }

    public IEnumerable<IPublishedContent> SearchSite(string searchTearm)
    {
        IEnumerable<string> nodeIDs = Array.Empty<string>();
        var searchHelper = new Our.Umbraco.Extensions.Search.Helpers.SearchHelper();

        if (searchTearm is not null && _examineManger.TryGetIndex("ExternalIndex", out IIndex searchIndex))
        {
            var searcher = searchIndex.Searcher;
            var searchQuery = searcher.CreatePublishedQuery("content")
                                      .And()
                                      .ManagedQuery(searchTearm);

            //var searchResults = searchHelper.Page<IPublishedContent>(searchQuery, 1, 10, out int totalPages, out int totalResults); This way is obsolete, use search method below with variable searchResults2

            var searchResults2 = searchQuery.Execute();
            searchResults2.Page<IPublishedContent>(1, 10, out int totalPages, out int totalResults);


            nodeIDs = searchQuery.Execute()
                                 .Select(x => x.Id);
        }

        foreach (var nodeID in nodeIDs) { yield return _umbracoHelper.Content(nodeID); }
    }
}

}`
