Getting documents in network

To obtain a list of indexed documents in a specific search network shard, you must call the GetIndexedDocuments method of the Searcher class.

To obtain a list of shards of the search network, use the GetShardIndices method of the SearchNetworkNode class.

It is also possible to get a list of nested items of indexed container document. To do this, use the GetIndexedDocumentItems method of the Searcher class.

The following code example demonstrates obtaining a list of documents indexed in the search network, as well as outputting the resulting data to the console.

C#

Searcher searcher = node.Searcher;
Indexer indexer = node.Indexer;

int[] shardIndices = node.GetShardIndices();
Console.WriteLine();
for (int i = 0; i < shardIndices.Length; i++)
{
    int shardIndex = shardIndices[i];
    NetworkDocumentInfo[] infos = searcher.GetIndexedDocuments(shardIndex);
    for (int j = 0; j < infos.Length; j++)
    {
        NetworkDocumentInfo info = infos[j];
        int nodeIndex = node.GetNodeIndex(info.ShardIndex);
        Console.WriteLine(nodeIndex + ": " + info.ShardIndex + ": " + info.DocumentInfo.FilePath);
        string[] attributes = indexer.GetAttributes(info.DocumentInfo.FilePath);
        for (int k = 0; k < attributes.Length; k++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\t\t" + attributes[k]);
        }

        NetworkDocumentInfo[] items = searcher.GetIndexedDocumentItems(info);
        for (int k = 0; k < items.Length; k++)
        {
            NetworkDocumentInfo item = items[k];
            Console.WriteLine("\t" + nodeIndex + ": " + item.ShardIndex + ": " + item.DocumentInfo.ToString());
        }
    }
}
