SharePoint Index from APIs

Question

Hello,

What are the ways to access SP index from APIs (so from users computer)? I used Search Service (http://.../_vti_bin/search.asmx ) it only gives first 10 results from keyword query.

Tnx in advance

Answer 1

You can use: <Range><Count>300</Count></Range> to get more results, otherwise you can use the ClientObjectModel to find items you need (depending on where the items are; cause things like the CrossListDataQuery has some downsides.

Answer 2

Yes, thanks for range thing.

But how can I with ClientObjectModel go above the web?

Answer 3

You mean an SPSite object? (you can do that with: SPSite site = new SPSite("http://mysite");) Otherwise you can still use the Search Service from withing the Client Object Model.

Answer 4

OK I am a little confused my self. So, I have to create some APP that will find info for given SharePoint (document, users...). If I use COM i can only go to Site Collection or SPSite. WBut I can not go up (to Web App, Server, SP Farm). These services are shared between all web app.

So my question is what is the best way to find this info (for example document info's)?
