Question:
How can you perform a Fulltext search using the .NET API?
Answer:
To perform a Fulltext search using the .NET API, you need to use the database name of the Full-text field from a search dialog.
To find the database name of a field, please refer to the following article; KBA-36531.
The database name is DocuWareFulltext. When setting up the query, this will need to be referenced.
The following would be an example,
public static DocumentsQueryResult RunQuery(Dialog dialog)
{
var q = new DialogExpression()
{
Operation = DialogExpressionOperation.And,
Condition = new List<DialogExpressionCondition>()
{
DialogExpressionCondition.Create("DocuWareFulltext", "Flying Tom" )
},
Count = 100,
SortOrder = new List<SortedField>
{
SortedField.Create("DWSTOREDATETIME", SortDirection.Desc)
}
};
var queryResult = dialog.GetDocumentsResult(q);
foreach (var d in queryResult.Items)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hit {0}: \"{1}\" on {2}", d.Id, (d["SENDER"].Item as string) ?? "-", d.CreatedAt);
}
return queryResult;
}
