ISearchQueryHelper::put_QueryContentProperties method (searchapi.h)

Sets the properties to include in the query if search terms do not explicitly specify properties.

Syntax

HRESULT put_QueryContentProperties(
  [in] LPCWSTR pszContentProperties
);

Parameters

[in] pszContentProperties

Type: LPCWSTR

Pointer to a comma-delimited, null-terminated Unicode string of one or more properties. Separate column specifiers with commas: "Content,DocAuthor".

Set ppszContentProperties to NULL to use all properties.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

Search terms may or may not be explicitly prefixed by a property ("author:Irina" or just "Irina"). If SEARCH_ADVANCED_QUERY_SYNTAX or NO_QUERY_SYNTAX is set in ISearchQueryHelper::put_QuerySyntax, all search terms not prefixed by a property keyword are matched against the list of properties in ppszContentProperties.
