Working with attributes Leave feedback
Text attributes of documents are changed without the need to re-index documents in the search network.
To change document attributes, use the ChangeAttributes method of the Indexer class.
The asynchronous operation flag is available as an option. You can track the completion of the operation by subscribing to the AttributeChangesCompleted event.
The following code example demonstrates changing document attributes on the search network.
C#
Console.WriteLine("Adding attribute: " + attribute);
Indexer indexer = node.Indexer;
AttributeChangeBatch batch = new AttributeChangeBatch();
batch.Add(documentKey, attribute);
ChangeAttributesOptions options = new ChangeAttributesOptions();
indexer.ChangeAttributes(batch, options);
To get all the attributes of a document, use the GetAttributes method of the Indexer class. You must pass the document key as a parameter.
The following code example demonstrates retrieving document attributes from the search network.
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 + ": " +
HasErrors(info) + ": " + info.DocumentInfo.FilePath);
string[] attributes = indexer.GetAttributes(info.DocumentInfo.FilePath);
for (int k = 0; k < attributes.Length; k++)
{
Console.WriteLine("\t\t" + attributes[k]);
}
}
}
