Implementing complex search

dr_do_little

Hi,

We have a specific requirement to modify Advance search feature of worksite, so that it can provide options to users for refining their search results.

Consider this situation, I have two tags(worksite and white papers), All my documents have either one or both tags attached. Now when I go to advace search and select both tags and do a search.

The results display me all the documents with has either interwoven or worksite attached. What I actually would like to see as results is only those documents which has both the tags.

I understand that the current feature supports "OR" for multiple items in specific field and "AND" for between tags.

Is there a way to allow this facility to users to choose the kind of search they need. Or can I add one more field say (secondary tag) so that the search results are more accurate for users.

Any suggestions, how to achieve such requirements.

Thanks

If these tags are (or can be) stored as the document attributes, then a search that has the both search attributes ids which represent their search attribute values in the searchparameters will return all documents that have both values.

[C#]
// Build search criteria
IManProfileSearchParameters oparms = odms.CreateProfileSearchParameters();
oparms.Add(imProfileAttributeID.imProfileCustom13, "WorkSite");
oparms.Add(imProfileAttributeID.imProfileCustom14, "WhitePapers");

// Search documents
IManContents oresults = osess.SearchDocuments(odblist, oparms, true);
