This populates a Result object with all of the information needed about each file found. Finally we execute the search: SJob1.Execute() You can, of course, customize to search for any target in your own index. Which we make ready to perform the search on the index: SJob1.BooleanConditions = location of index") If not read Getting started with dtSearch, but to give us something to work with we will perform a simple search for the single word "Jeep" in an index that has already been constructed.įirst we need a SearchJob object: SearchJob SJob1 = new SearchJob() It is assumed that you already know how to create an index and search it using say C#. The file parsers are used by the indexing engine to look inside each document and it is also used by the FileConverter object to allow you to process documents into a standard format so that the results of searches can be presented to users. dtSearch has its own file parsers supporting popular file types like MS Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, CSV, HTML, PDF, XML/XSL, emails and attachments, ZIP files, etc. The good news is that if you are using dtSearch, which you can try for yourself by downloading the 30-day evaluation from, you can use a range of file and container parsers. All those file formats and then there is the bother of finding out how to highlight the hits in each format. But what if your users want to look inside the files and see where the hits have occurred? This is a nightmare of a job if you have to start from scratch. In many cases it is enough to simply list the files that contain the hits. What do you do with your search results after you have obtained them?
Now we consider what to do next once you have some search results. In the first part of my exploration of the search and indexing system dtSearch, I covered the basic principles of operation. What do you do with your search results after you have obtained them? We explore hit highlighting with dtSearch and C#.
