Sitecore : All about MultiList and Search

 

I was doing bit of R&D around implementing, writing custom multilist with search while doing my bit of research I understand sitecore has not unified the multilist with search in a way so that it can be used widely to solve problem for content author. May be there is less documentation out there where developer ends up writing custom implementation which can very well handled using right query.

 

Below I tried to sum up by putting some of the cool links a kind of reference to begin with.
