SearchDataSourcesBox

Inheritance Hierarchy

Description

The SearchDataSourcesBox component is used to start BI search and display its results.

Comments

BI search is a full-text search of data by keywords in the structure of multidimensional repository sources. To use BI search on working with BI server, set up repository and index data sources. See setup instructions in the Installing and Setting Up BI Search Service subsection.

To start BI search, call the StartSearch method with specifying required text. The search can be tracked using the OnStartSearch - OnFinishSearch events. When the search is finished, the total number of found matches will be available in the TotalCount property, and first hundred elements with results will be loaded to the Items collection. To load next elements, use the LoadNextPage method.
