Error while getting the total number of rows found

Alexey_Krutikov

We use Les-services (SearchService) to search for objects. Sample code (c #) is shown below:

CSSearchService.SearchServiceClient client = new CSSearchService.SearchServiceClient();

CSSearchService.SingleSearchRequest ssReq = new CSSearchService.SingleSearchRequest();

ssReq.FirstResultToRetrieve = 1;

ssReq.DataCollectionSpec = "\"LES Enterprise\"";

ssReq.NumResultsToRetrieve = 50;

ssReq.QueryLanguage = "Livelink Search API V1";

ssReq.ResultSetSpec = "lookfor1=complexquery&where1=" + query;                ssReq.ResultTransformationSpec = fields;

SSearchService.SingleSearchResponse ssResp = client.Search(ref this.tokenSearch, ssReq, "")

int totalCount = ssResp.Results.ListDescription.ActualCount;

We faced an error while getting the total number of rows found. In some cases, the return number is greater than the real number of rows found. For example: ActualCount = 15, while the real number of rows found is 5.

What could this problem be related to and how do I solve it?

Hi Alexey,

 

To start, questions regarding LES Services / CWS should be directed to the Content Web Services forum on OTDN.

This forum is for the RESTful Search API, which is a different API than the one offered by web services.

 

The result set could include items to which the user does not have permissions or versions that no longer exist in Content Server.

The real number of returned rows is after performing permission checking and removal of deleted items.

 

Regards,

Kyle
