Remarks
Application developers search indexed app content by creating a CSSearchQuery with a query string that searches for the specified data. Developers then set neither, one, or both of the FoundItemsHandler and CompletionHandler properties to, and then call Start() to begin receiving items that are matched by the query string.
Core Spotlight search query strings have an easy-to-understand syntax for developers who are familiar with C#:
- The C# logical operators,
==,!=,<,>,<=, and>=, are supported.: - Embedded single quotes match an entire string, while embedded double quotes match quoted instances within larger strings. Developers should, of course, note that embedded quotes must be escaped with a backslash.:
- An asterisk,
*, does wildcard matching.: c,d,w, andt, perform case-insensitive, diacritic-insensitive, word-based, and token-based matching, respectively.:- Developers can use the logical AND (
&&) and logical OR (||) operators to build combined queries.: - DateTime methods can be used on the special
$timevariable and its members to match time intervals.:
