The following example creates a smart search index.

 

private void CreateSearchIndex()
{
    // Create new search index object
    SearchIndexInfo newIndex = new SearchIndexInfo();
 
    // Set the properties
    newIndex.IndexDisplayName = "My new index";
    newIndex.IndexName = "MyNewIndex";
    newIndex.IndexIsCommunityGroup = false;
    newIndex.IndexType = PredefinedObjectType.DOCUMENT;
    newIndex.IndexAnalyzerType = AnalyzerTypeEnum.StandardAnalyzer;
    newIndex.StopWordsFile = "";
        
    // Save the search index
    SearchIndexInfoProvider.SetSearchIndexInfo(newIndex);
}

 

The following example creates and configures the settings of a search index.

 

private bool CreateIndexSettings()
{

  // Get the search index
  SearchIndexInfo index = SearchIndexInfoProvider.GetSearchIndexInfo("MyNewIndex");

    if (index != null)
    {
        // Create new index settings
        SearchIndexSettingsInfo indexSettings = new SearchIndexSettingsInfo();
 
        // Set setting properties
        indexSettings.IncludeBlogs = true;
        indexSettings.IncludeForums = true;
        indexSettings.IncludeMessageCommunication = true;
        indexSettings.ClassNames = ""// for all document types
        indexSettings.Path = "/%";
        indexSettings.Type = SearchIndexSettingsInfo.TYPE_ALLOWED;
        indexSettings.ID = Guid.NewGuid();
 
        // Save index settings                     
        SearchIndexSettings settings = new SearchIndexSettings();
        settings.SetSearchIndexSettingsInfo(indexSettings);
        index.IndexSettings = settings;
 
        // Save to database
        SearchIndexInfoProvider.SetSearchIndexInfo(index);
 
        return true;
    }
 
    return false;
}

 

The following example gets and updates a search index.

 

private bool GetAndUpdateSearchIndex()
{

  // Get the search index
  SearchIndexInfo updateIndex = SearchIndexInfoProvider.GetSearchIndexInfo("MyNewIndex");

    if (updateIndex != null)
    {
        // Update the properties
        updateIndex.IndexDisplayName = updateIndex.IndexDisplayName.ToLower();
 
        // Save the changes
        SearchIndexInfoProvider.SetSearchIndexInfo(updateIndex);
 
        return true;
    }
 
    return false;
}

 

The following example gets and bulk updates search indexes.

 

private bool GetAndBulkUpdateSearchIndexes()
{
    // Prepare the parameters
    string where = "IndexName LIKE N'MyNewIndex%'";
 
    // Get the data
    DataSet indexes = SearchIndexInfoProvider.GetSearchIndexes(where, null);
    if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(indexes))
    {
        // Loop through the individual items
        foreach (DataRow indexDr in indexes.Tables[0].Rows)
        {
            // Create object from DataRow
            SearchIndexInfo modifyIndex = new SearchIndexInfo(indexDr);

 
          // Update the properties
           modifyIndex.IndexDisplayName = modifyIndex.IndexDisplayName.ToUpper();

 
            // Save the changes
            SearchIndexInfoProvider.SetSearchIndexInfo(modifyIndex);
        }
 
        return true;
    }
 
    return false;
}

 

The following example deletes a search index.

 

private bool DeleteSearchIndex()
{

  // Get the search index
  SearchIndexInfo deleteIndex = SearchIndexInfoProvider.GetSearchIndexInfo("MyNewIndex");

 
    // Delete the search index
    SearchIndexInfoProvider.DeleteSearchIndexInfo(deleteIndex);
 
    return (deleteIndex != null);
}
