The following example creates a task that rebuilds a smart search index.

 

private bool RebuildIndex()
{

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

 
    if (index != null)
    {

      // Create rebuild task
      SearchTaskInfoProvider.CreateTask(SearchTaskTypeEnum.Rebuild, index.IndexType, null, index.IndexName);

 
        return true;
    }
 
    return false;
}

 

The following example performs a search through the content of an index and retrieves the results in a dataset.

 

private bool SearchText()
{

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

 
    int numberOfResults = 0;
 
    if (index != null)
    {
        // Set the properties
        string searchText = "home";
        string path = "/%";
        string classNames = "";
        string cultureCode = "EN-US";
        string defaultCulture = CultureHelper.DefaultCulture.IetfLanguageTag;
        Lucene.Net.Search.Sort sort = SearchHelper.GetSort("##SCORE##");
        bool combineWithDefaultCulture = false;
        bool checkPermissions = false;
        bool searchInAttachments = false;
        string searchIndexes = index.IndexName;
        int displayResults = 100;
        int startingPosition = 0;
        int numberOfProcessedResults = 100;
        UserInfo userInfo = CMSContext.CurrentUser;
        string attachmentWhere = "";
        string attachmentOrderBy = "";

 
      // Get search results

      DataSet ds = SearchHelper.Search(searchText, sort, path, classNames, cultureCode, defaultCulture, combineWithDefaultCulture, checkPermissions, searchInAttachments, searchIndexes, displayResults, startingPosition, numberOfProcessedResults, userInfo, out numberOfResults, attachmentWhere, attachmentOrderBy);

 
        // If found at least one item
        if (numberOfResults > 0)
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
 
    return false;
}

 

The following example creates a task that updates the content of a search index.

 

private bool UpdateIndex()
{

  // Tree provider
  TreeProvider provider = new CMS.TreeEngine.TreeProvider(CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentUser);
 
  // Get document of specified site, aliaspath and culture
  TreeNode node = provider.SelectSingleNode(CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, "/", "en-us");
 
  // If node exists
  if ((node != null) && (node.PublishedVersionExists) && (SearchIndexInfoProvider.SearchEnabled))

    {
        // Edit and save document node
        node.NodeDocType += " changed";
        node.Update();

 
      // Create update task
      SearchTaskInfoProvider.CreateTask(SearchTaskTypeEnum.Update, PredefinedObjectType.DOCUMENT, SearchHelper.ID_FIELD, node.GetSearchID());

 
        return true;
    }
 
    return false;
}
