Looking for Documents - Administration

We explain methods to search documents, with a View, object and with the Database object.

With Database, we search with method Search or method FTSearch. The differences are, Search have an argument which represents notes @function formula that specifies the selection criteria.

DocumentCollection dc = db.search("Subject = "" + mySubject + """);

With FTSearch executes a full-text query.

DocumentCollection dc = db.FTSearch("red & blue", 100);

Return all documents that match red and blue, but at maximum of 100.

With a View, prior we must have created it in the Domino, we can search documents as simple as:

View view = db.getView("By Category"); DocumentCollection dc = view.getAllDocumentsByKey("Leather");

This code gets all the documents in the category "Leather" in the By Category view of the current database The DocumentCollection class is a collection, and you navigate through it.

DocumentCollection dc = database.getAllDocuments();
Document doc = dc.getFirstDocument();
while (doc != null)
{
    System.out.println(doc.getItemValueString("Subject"));
    doc = dc.getNextDocument();
}

We put all documents of given database into DocumentCollection, and then we print the value of the field Subject.
