## 🔧 Implementation Approach
### Why Client-Side Processing?
All 3 features use client-side processing due to Sitecore GraphQL API limitations:
| Feature | GraphQL Limitation | Our Solution |
|---------|-------------------|--------------|
| **Pagination** | No cursor API | Client-side cursor emulation |
| **Filters** | Only `fieldsEqual` (exact match) | Client-side filtering after fetch |
| **Ordering** | No `orderBy` parameter | Client-side sort with `localeCompare` |
**Trade-offs:**
- ⚠️ Fetch larger dataset (maxItems: 200+ recommended)
- ⚠️ Processing happens after GraphQL fetch
- ⚠️ Performance: O(n) for filters, O(n log n) for sorting
**Benefits:**
- ✅ No schema changes required
- ✅ Works with existing Sitecore instances
- ✅ Flexible combinations (filters + sorting + pagination)
- ✅ Multiple sort fields supported
---
## 🎯 Backwards Compatibility
### Breaking Changes: NONE ❌
**Existing Code:**
```json
{
"name": "sitecore_search",
"arguments": {
"rootPath": "/sitecore/content",
"language": "en"
}
}
```
✅ Still works! Returns array of items (unchanged).
**New Features (Optional):**
```json
{
"name": "sitecore_search",
"arguments": {
"rootPath": "/sitecore/content",
"pathContains": "articles", // NEW (optional)
"hasLayoutFilter": true, // NEW (optional)
"orderBy": [...], // NEW (optional)
"language": "en"
}
}
```
✅ All new parameters are optional!
**New Tool:**
```json
{
"name": "sitecore_search_paginated", // NEW TOOL
"arguments": { ... }
}
```
✅ Doesn't affect existing tools.

## 🚀 New Capabilities
### 1. Navigate Large Result Sets
**Before v1.5.0:**
```json
// Get all items (no pagination)
{ "maxItems": 1000 } // Hope it's enough!
```
**After v1.5.0:**
```json
// Page 1
{ "maxItems": 20, "after": null }
// Response: { items, pageInfo: { hasNextPage: true, endCursor: "19" }}
// Page 2
{ "maxItems": 20, "after": "19" }
// Response: { items, pageInfo: { hasNextPage: true, endCursor: "39" }}
```
✅ Efficient, scalable, user-friendly!
---
### 2. Advanced Filtering
**Before v1.5.0:**
```json
// Only basic keyword + rootPath
{ "keyword": "article", "rootPath": "/sitecore/content" }
```
**After v1.5.0:**
```json
{
"pathContains": "articles", // Path filtering
"nameContains": "home", // Name filtering
"templateIn": ["{ID1}", "{ID2}"], // Template filtering (OR)
"hasLayoutFilter": true, // Only renderable pages
"hasChildrenFilter": false // Only leaf items
}
```
✅ Precise, flexible, powerful!
---
### 3. Organized Results
**Before v1.5.0:**
```json
// Results in arbitrary order
["Zebra", "Alpha", "Beta"]
```
**After v1.5.0:**
```json
{
"orderBy": [
{ "field": "name", "direction": "ASC" }
]
}
// Results: ["Alpha", "Beta", "Zebra"]
```
✅ Predictable, sortable, organized!

## 🎯 Helix Relationship Discovery
### New Documentation: HELIX-RELATIONSHIP-DISCOVERY.md
**4 Search Paths:**
1. `/sitecore/content` - Content items (meertalig)
2. `/sitecore/layout` - Renderings & layouts (altijd 'en')
3. `/sitecore/system` - Settings & configuratie (altijd 'en')
4. `/sitecore/templates` - Template definitions (altijd 'en')
**3 Relationship Workflows:**
1. **Content → Template → Base Templates**
- Find articles → Get template info → Discover inheritance
2. **Page → Renderings → Data Sources**
- Parse Layout field → Fetch renderings → Get data sources
3. **Template → Content Items (Reverse Lookup)**
- Find Feature templates → Search content by template → Map dependencies
**Use Cases:**
- Discover template inheritance chains
- Find all renderings on a page
- Locate all content using specific template
- Map Helix architecture dependencies
