Class: 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 PCCViewer.ViewerControl#search.

This constructor should not be used directly. Instead, only access search results created by PCCViewer.ViewerControl#search, through the PCCViewer.SearchRequest object.

See:

Use PCCViewer.SearchRequest#getResults to get results from a `SearchRequest` object.
Use PCCViewer.SearchRequest#results to get results from a `SearchRequest` object.
