HelpSearch
is an abstract base class for the search
engines, SearchQuery
obtained from it can be used to
perform the actual queries. Individual items found by a search are
SearchItem
s which can be fired as
HelpEvent
s.
The creation of search databases is done by subclasses of the
abstract class IndexBuilder
based on the MIME type of
each document being indexed. Details of the index building process
can be given through instances of ConfigFile
.
Note: Registration of IndexerKits should probably be visible in this package.
For overviews, tutorials, examples, guides, tool support, and other documentation, please see the JavaHelp System User's Guide.
