The Search page demonstrates how to search a catalog. Type in a search query and click Search. Search results are displayed below. As you click each topic result item, the right side displays the rendered topic as well topic object data.
SearchSearch code is also very straight forward.
Here GetSearchResults() returns a list of topics.
String query = "StringBuilder";
HelpFilter filter = null; // adv filtering not required (we want all search results)
int pageSize = 50; // number of items per page to return
int pageNumber = 1; // which page of results to return
int _totalAvailableHits = 0; // total number of hits returned
ITopicCollection topics = _catalogRead.GetSearchResults(_catalog, query, filter, SearchOptions.None, pageSize, pageNumber, out _totalAvailableHits);
And again we can iterate through the returned topic list (see details for ITopicCollection and Topic in TOC page help).
These Search options can be OR'd together if required.
| SearchOptions.None | no options. | | SearchOptions.OrSearchOverride | changes search terms "x y", normally interpreted "x AND y", to "x OR y". | | SearchOptions.SearchTermHighlight | adds highlighting html tags to search result text.
|
More Search OptionsNote that special search prefixes (as it's not clear from the demo) can be concatenated and prefix any search term.
So when searching for "String AND Lock" this is also valid: "code:c#:keyword:String AND title:Lock".
