Returns a specific document for further querying and retrieval.

Parameters

documentLocation

The path to the requested document. This could be a unc path for a file crawler, or an application-specific string for other repositories.

locale

The user's locale

signature

The portal's last known signature for this document

format

The DocumentFormat flag indicating the type of retrieval to perform

Return Value

an implementation of the IDocument interface

Remarks

In most cases, documentLocation is ChildDocument.Location, except when submitting a remote document, in which case the developer supplies the documentLocation. Keep in mind that IDocumentProvider does not have access to CrawlInfo, so any crawler values required in IDocumentProvider.AttachToDocument should be added to the location string in ChildDocument to be parsed in AttachToDocument.
