Hit-Highlighting Examples

This topic contains examples of how to set up a query to take advantage of hit highlighting and some sample files and path names.

Sample Query

Putting together the information in the previous sections, suppose you want search for the author of a document greater than 100 bytes, and the author’s name is George. To do that, send the following query:

@DocAuthor = George AND @size > 100

You want to aim your query at this document:

/InetPub/Docs/Ideas.doc

To choose default formatting, refer to a virtual directory with Execute or Script permission:

/Path/null.htw?

Before the query string can be passed to Webhits, it must be escaped, resulting in:

@DocAuthor%20%3D%20George%20AND%20@size%20%3E%20100

Now, to hit-highlight the document, issue the following command:

http://MyServer/Path/Null.htw?CiWebhitsFile=\vpath\Docs\Ideas.doc &
CiRestriction=@DocAuthor%20%3D%20George%20AND%20@size%20%3E%20100

Note Neither @size nor @DocAuthor are custom properties, so you do not need to specify an .idq file in this case.

Sample Files
