Description

Via this property you provide the search term to look up in the termbase(s). If this parameter is left unspecified, a blank string ("") will be used, which means that any term will be retrieved from the termbase.

Sample

//create MultiSearch object

oSearch.MaximumHits=10;
oSearch.FuzzySearch=true;

//add termbases to multisearch
oSearch.AddSearchTermbase(oTb1, "English", "German");
oSearch.AddSearchTermbase(oTb2, "Englisch", "Deutsch");
oSearch.AddSearchTermbase(oTb3, "ENG", "DEU");
