Generate Method Constants

  • Article

Note

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

The generate method constants specify the method to use when generating alternate word forms in pattern matching queries.

#define GENERATE_METHOD_EXACT   ( 0 )  // The query string value must match exactly.
#define GENERATE_METHOD_PREFIX  ( 1 )  // The query string value is a prefix for strings in documents.
#define GENERATE_METHOD_INFLECT ( 2 )  // Generate multiple forms of the query string word to match documents.

Remarks

The dwGenerateMethod member of the DBCONTENT structure uses these constants.
