About Remote Search Operations

The remote search API (com.plumtree.remote.prc.search) provides a generic interface to ALI search operations.

Using the PRC search API, you can query document, folder, user and Community objects using a standard request-response model. The API allows you to add multiple constraints and filter searches by location or object type.

Note: AquaLogic Interaction Search is a full-text search engine optimized for dealing with text; it should not be used for precise storage of numeric values, such as currency values.

Portal properties are represented as standard fields that can be accessed in search results by name or by iteration. By default, searches return a set of standard properties; you can choose to retrieve additional properties.

For details on using remote search operations, see the following topics:
