How to use Predefined Search

Predefined search allows you to define a set of predefined search terms. To enable this functionality you must add the predefinedSearch property to the Viewing Client parameters. The following example shows you how:

Example
Copy Code
JavaScript Example               
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
            var pluginOptions = {
            uiElements: {
            predefinedSearch: {
                        highlightColor: "#ee3a8c",
                        searchOnInit: false,
                        globalOptions: {
                         matchCase: false,
                        endsWith: false,
                        beginsWith: false,
                    matchWholeWord: false
                        },
                        terms: [{
                        searchTerm: "llama",
                        selected: true,
                        options: {
                        matchWholeWord: true
                        }
                        },
                        {
                        searchTerm: "Words that begin with ll",
                    userDefinedRegex: "\\bll(\\w*)\\b",
                        searchTermIsRegex": true,
                        selected: true,
                    highlightColor: "#4169e1",
                        options: {
                        matchCase: true
                        }
                        }]
            }
            }
            };
    $("#sample").pccViewer(pluginOptions);
});
</script>

PredefinedSearch.JSON

Predefined Search can also be specified using a text file (predefinedSearch.json). PredefinedSearch.json provides several sample search terms and custom regular expressions. PredefinedSearch.json file is parsed by the web-tier and loaded in the Viewing Client. The following example shows you how:

Example
Copy Code
<script type="text/javascript">

            var viewingSessionId = '<%=HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(viewingSessionId)%>';
            //Retrieve the searchJson (search data) into javascript
            var searchTerms = <%=searchJson%>;
            var pluginOptions = {
            documentID: viewingSessionId,
            predefinedSearch: searchTerms,
            };
        $(document).ready(function () {
            var viewerControl = $("#viewer1").pccViewer(pluginOptions).viewerControl;
            });

</script>

Predefined Search Patterns

Parameter

Data Type

Description

highlightColor

String

The default highlight color of the search terms. This is overridden by the term-level parameter. This must be in 6 digit hexadecimal format preceded by a #.

Example: "#ee3a8c"

searchOnInit

Boolean

Run search on launch.

globalOptions

Object

Set the default search options for each of the predefined search terms. This is overridden by the term-level "options" parameter.

Example
Copy Code
predefinedSearch : {
            globalOptions: {
            matchCase: false,
            endsWith: false,
        beginsWith: false,
        matchWholeWord: false
            }
}

terms

Array

An array of objects that represent the search terms that will be available in the predefined menu.

Example
Copy Code
predefinedSearch : {
            terms: [
            {
            searchTerm: "llama"
            }
            ]
}

 

Predefined Search Terms

Parameter

Data Type

Description

searchTerm

String

The search string for the term object. This is overridden by the userDefinedRegex parameter.

searchTermIsRegex

Boolean

When set to true will use userDefinedRegex to execute the search

userDefinedRegex

String

A regular expression that will be searched in place of searchTerm. The first and last forward slashes, as well as the flags, are stripped from the string. For example, "/Pa(\\w+)/ig" will become "Pa(\\w+)". 

When special characters (ex: backslash) are used in the "userDefinedRegex" field, they need to be properly escaped. For example, for searching words that begins with "Pa", the regular expression will be "Pa(\w+)", this regular expression should be properly escaped like this "Pa(\\w+)". 

All patterns use the Global(g) flag.

Example
Copy Code
predefinedSearch : {
            terms: [
            {
            searchTerm: "4 digits"
            userdefinedRegex: "(\\d{4})"
            }
            ]
}
               

 

description

String

Description of the search term. If description is not defined "searchTerm" will be used.

highlightColor

String

When specified system will use this value to show the highlight color for this search term.  When not specified system will generate a color. 

Ex: highlightColor: "#FFFF20"

Options

 

Object

Example
Copy Code
options: {
                "matchCase": false,
                "endsWith": false,
                "beginsWith": false,
                "matchWholeWord": false,
                "exactPhrase": false
            }
