How to get the page of a rendering used in a page in search

Question

I have to implement Azure search but would like to try with Lucene first in the local setup. I am following this example by @kamsar

1.Created the SubcontentField class
2.Created the patch config and
3.Rebuilt the index for sitecore_web_index

[ Did not add any custom field/template IDs in the Lucene configs. Using the default ones as it is without any changes. ]

Here is my code which is triggered, when a user clicks the search button on the page.

string keywords = <keywords entered by user>;    

 using (var context = ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_web_index").CreateSearchContext())
 {
   var query = context.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>()  
              .Where(x => x.Content.Contains(keywords) && 
                     x.Language == Sitecore.Context.Language.Name);
                    
   List<SearchResultItem> lst = query.ToList();       
 }

Now I search using a keyword "stories". There is a rendering on the home page, which has the title "Stories". I am expecting the Home page item in one of the result items inside lst.

But there are other items like controller rendering, media library, etc that have the name "stories".

I would like to get the list of page items that have the keyword used in any of the renderings for that page.

As suggested in the article, should I search in any particular field? Could someone please guide me on how to get my desired results here?

Using sc8.2 u3 with MVC

UPDATE:

I did this to see if there really was home page in the returned list

var query = context.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>()
                       .Where(x => x.ItemId == SitecoreUtility.GetHomeItem().ID &&   
   x.Language == Sitecore.Context.Language.Name);

List<SearchResultItem> lst = query.ToList();
string sss = lst[0].Content;

It did return one result, but "sss" got only one word which was "Home". So I'm doubting if the example from the article really worked for me, I mean did it really get all content fields values into one field.

You use the "sitecore_web_index" which contains all items of web database. If you want to get just pages, you need to filter results. For example:

string keywords = <keywords entered by user>;    
 using (var context = ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_web_index").CreateSearchContext())
 {
   var query = context.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>()  
              .Where(x => x.Paths.Contains(ID.Parse("{0DE95AE4-41AB-4D01-9EB0-67441B7C2450}")) x.Content.Contains(keywords) && 
                     x.Language == Sitecore.Context.Language.Name)

   List<SearchResultItem> lst = query.ToList();       
 }

,where {0DE95AE4-41AB-4D01-9EB0-67441B7C2450} is id of your home page. It means that search result will comtain all items under the item with id = {0DE95AE4-41AB-4D01-9EB0-67441B7C2450} including this item itself and whose corresponds another conditions.
