Class: SearchResult

IPCC.SearchResult()

new SearchResult()

The `SearchResult` object is created when searching a document. It represents a "search hit", the text in the document that matched a search term in the `searchQuery`, which was passed to IPCC.ViewerControl#search. This constructor should not be used directly. Instead, only access search results created by IPCC.ViewerControl#search, through the IPCC.SearchRequest object.

Members

(readonly) boundingRectangle :Object

Gets the bounding rectangle of the search result. _This is an ECMA 5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
  • Object
See:

(readonly) context :string

Gets the search result text and some surrounding text. The number of character in the context before and after the search result text can be configured using the IPCC.ViewerControl~SearchQuery passed to the IPCC.ViewerControl#search method. _This is an ECMA 5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
  • string
See:

(readonly) highlightColor :string

Gets the highlight color of the search result, in hex notation (e.g. "#F1F1F1"). The highlight color can be specified in the IPCC.ViewerControl~SearchQuery passed to the IPCC.ViewerControl#search method. If a highlight color is not specified on the `searchQuery`, then a pseudo-random color is chosen. _This is an ECMA 5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
  • string
See:

(readonly) id :number

Gets the ID of the search result. The ID is unique only to results in the current search request, and it may be repeated in later search requests. _This is an ECMA 5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
  • number
See:

(readonly) pageNumber :number

Gets the page number of the document, on which the search result starts. If the search result text is contained on a single page, this returns the page number of that page. If the search result text spans multiple pages, this returns the page number of the first page. _This is an ECMA 5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
  • number
See:

(readonly) searchTerm :IPCC.ViewerControl~SearchTerm|IPCC.ViewerControl~ProximitySearchTerm

Gets the search term object from the `searchQuery` object that was passed to the IPCC.ViewerControl#search method. If a string was passed to the `search` method, then this will return a IPCC.ViewerControl~SearchTerm object generated from the string. The returned object will be augmented with all options used for searching. _This is an ECMA 5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
See:

(readonly) searchTerm :IPCC.ViewerControl~SearchTerm|IPCC.ViewerControl~ProximitySearchTerm

Gets the search term object from the `searchQuery` object that was passed to the IPCC.SearchTask constructor. If a string was passed to the `search` method, then this will return a IPCC.ViewerControl~SearchTerm object generated from the string. The returned object will be augmented with all options used for searching. _This is an ECMA 5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
See:

(readonly) startIndexInContext :number

Gets the start index of the search result text within the context text returned by IPCC.SearchResult#getContext. _This is an ECMA 5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
  • number
See:

(readonly) startIndexInContext :number

Type:
  • number
See:

(readonly) text :string

Gets the search result text. This is the text that matched the search query/term. _This is an ECMA 5 accessor property that is defined only in browsers supporting ECMA 5. This property is not available in the older browsers like IE8._
Type:
