Name

Sdl.MultiTerm.TMO.Interop.TermbaseSearch.SearchExpression — Sets/returns the search expression.

Type

String (read / write)

Index Parameters

none

Description

This property sets the search terms used for a search operation. If this parameter is left unspecified, a blank string ("") will be used, which means that any term will be retrieved from the termbase.

Note: MultiTerm allows to use the asterisk (*) as a placeholder in search operations. Moreover, you can also carry out a character range search. To search for terms within a specific character ranges, use square brackets, e.g. "[a-b]".

Sample

TermbaseSearch tbSearch = oTb.Search;

tbSearch.SearchExpression="window";
tbSearch.Direction = Sdl.MultiTerm.TMO.Interop.MtSearchDirection.mtSearchDown;
tbSearch.MaximumHits=10;
tbSearch.SourceIndex="English";
