Conducts a Domain Search, that is, a full-text search of all databases configured in the Domain Catalog database and marked as included for multi-database indexing.
Note This method is new with Release 5.
Defined in
NotesDatabase
Syntax
Set notesDocument = notesDatabase.FTDomainSearch( query$, maxDocs%, [ sortoptions%], [ otheroptions%], [ start&], [ count%], [ entryform$ ] )
Parameters
query$
notesDocument
The databases you want included in the search must have the property "Include in multi-database indexing" set to TRUE.
The current NotesDatabase object must represent a Domain Catalog.
If you don't specify any sort options, you get the documents sorted by relevance score. If you ask for a sort by date, you don't get relevance scores.
Query syntax
To search for a word or phrase, enter the word or phrase as is, except for search keywords must be enclosed in quotes. Remember to escape quotes if you are inside a literal.
Wildcards, operators, and other syntax are permitted. For the complete syntax rules, see "Finding documents in a database" in Lotus Notes Help.
