ISearchProvider Interface

Provides an abstraction for a search provider to implement a custom search provider that can be used to replace the default search provider only for the search and process timer job.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.RecordsManagement.SearchAndProcess
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Policy (in Microsoft.Office.Policy.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
Public Interface ISearchProvider
'Usage
Dim instance As ISearchProvider
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
public interface ISearchProvider

Remarks

If you need to add a custom search provider for the search and process timer job, implement this interface and register the SearchProvider. Registering the search provider by using the method RegisterSearchEngine will replace the default search provider with your custom search provider. Doing this will not generically replace the search provider for the whole system, but only for the search and process timer job.
