SearchCriteria Class

For a list of all members of this type, see SearchCriteria Members.

Description

Represents the search criteria used by an instance of SearchEngine.

Thread Safety

This class is STA based and therefore safe for multithreaded access as long as the creating process continues to process its message loop.

Remarks

This class is not created directly but referenced from an instance of SearchEngine. The criteria can be loaded or saved in the SRF format compatible with the retail version of FileLocator Pro.

Example

[Visual Basic]

 engineSearch = New SearchEngineClass

 engineSearch.SearchCriteria.ContainingText   = "search"

 engineSearch.SearchCriteria.LookIn           = "c:\search folder"

 engineSearch.SearchCriteria.ContentsExprType = ExpressionType.RegExpClassic

 Dim listResult As SearchResultItemList = engineSearch.Start( False )
