Unexpected Behaviour in FundSearchRequest
I'm issuing a Fund Search request with the following code:
var refine = new FundSearchRequest();
refine.Identifier = code;
refine.IdentifierType = IdentifierType.Isin;
refine.PreferredIdentifierType = IdentifierType.Ric;
var fundRes = context.FundSearch(refine);
my sourec identifier is an ISIN, and I specify the type, but I want, as a preferred returned identifier, the ric. Unfortunately the search request returns an ISIN. Unfortunately the web application of datascop return for the same asset, a RIC. What's wrong with my request?
the ISIN is CH0016174051 that the UI report with a RIC

If you want to get RIC from Isin, you may use InstrumentSearch with only InstrumentTypeGroup.Funds instead. Below is the sample code.
var results = SearchContext.InstrumentSearch(
AllInstrumentSearchRequest.Create(
new[] { InstrumentTypeGroup.Funds },
IdentifierType.Isin,
"CH0016174051",
IdentifierType.Ric)); //Preferred identifier
It can return the LP60090222 RIC.
Hope this helps.
