The following sample code shows how you can modify the Display name of an existing search index:

 

[C#]

 

using CMS.SiteProvider;

 

...

 

        // Get index object from database by index code name

        SearchIndexInfo sii = SearchIndexInfoProvider.GetSearchIndexInfo("TestIndex");

 

        // If index exists 

        if (sii != null)

        {

            // Update some property

            sii.IndexDisplayName += " updated";

 

            // Save to database

            SearchIndexInfoProvider.SetSearchIndexInfo(sii);

        }

 

The following sample code shows how you can create a new search index, assign a site and culture to it and add it to the system:

 

[C#]

 

using System;

using CMS.SiteProvider;

using CMS.SettingsProvider;

using CMS.CMSHelper;

 

...

 

        // Create empty index object

        SearchIndexInfo sii = new SearchIndexInfo();

 

        // Set properties

        sii.IndexIsCommunityGroup = false;

        sii.IndexName = "TestIndex";

        sii.IndexDisplayName = "Test index";

        sii.IndexType = PredefinedObjectType.DOCUMENT;

        sii.IndexAnalyzerType = AnalyzerTypeEnum.StandardAnalyzer;

        sii.StopWordsFile = "";

        sii.CustomAnalyzerName = "";

 

        // Create new index settings

        SearchIndexSettingsInfo sisi = new SearchIndexSettingsInfo();

 

        // Set setting properties

        sisi.IncludeBlogs = true;

        sisi.IncludeForums = true;

        sisi.IncludeMessageCommunication = true;

        sisi.ClassNames = ""; // for all document types

        sisi.Path = "/%";

        sisi.Type = SearchIndexSettingsInfo.TYPE_ALLOWED;

        sisi.ID = Guid.NewGuid();

 

        // Save index settings                     

        SearchIndexSettings sis = new SearchIndexSettings();

        sis.SetSearchIndexSettingsInfo(sisi);

        sii.IndexSettings = sis;

 

        // Save to database

        SearchIndexInfoProvider.SetSearchIndexInfo(sii);

 

        // Add current culture to index

      SearchIndexCultureInfoProvider.AddSearchIndexCulture(sii.IndexID, CMSContext.CurrentDocumentCulture.CultureID);

 

        // Add current site to index

        SearchIndexSiteInfoProvider.AddSearchIndexToSite(sii.IndexID, CMSContext.CurrentSiteID);

 

The following sample code shows how you can rebuild an existing search index:

 

[C#]

 

using CMS.SiteProvider;

 

...

 

        // Get index object from database by index code name

        SearchIndexInfo sii = SearchIndexInfoProvider.GetSearchIndexInfo("TestIndex");

 

        // If index exists

        if (sii != null)

        {

            // Create rebuild task 

            SearchTaskInfoProvider.CreateTask(SearchTaskTypeEnum.Rebuild, sii.IndexType, null, sii.IndexName);

        }

 

The following sample code shows how you can delete an existing search index:

 

[C#]

 

using CMS.SiteProvider;

 

...

 

        // Get index object from database

        SearchIndexInfo sii = SearchIndexInfoProvider.GetSearchIndexInfo("TestIndex");

 

        // If index exists

        if (sii != null)

        {

            // Delete from database

            SearchIndexInfoProvider.DeleteSearchIndexInfo(sii);

        }
