Hello,

Please find attached a C# example using IEdmSearch5 interface.

In order to perform an effective search using  IEdmSearch5 interface in ePDM API, when the following search result is needed:

All files with *.doc extension, in 'Approved' state, that have 'Value1' OR 'Value2' as 'Variable Name',

how to this can be achieved using only one instance of IEdmSearch5 interface?

As found in help:

"There is a bit of overhead involved in creating an IEdmSearch5 interface so if you intend to perform several searches,

it might be a good idea to keep the interface and call IEdmSearch5::Clear on it instead of creating a new one via IEdmVault5::CreateSearch each

time."

Is there a way to perform IEdmSearch5::AddVariable twice for the same variable with two different values using OR condition with the same

IEdmSearch5 instance?

Or we must perform two separate searches using IEdmSearch5::Clear between and then filter the result?

We observed a noticeable downgrade in application performance when IEdmSearch5 is heavily used...

Please find attached a C# example using IEdmSearch5 interface.

Please note that the described search can be easily achieved in ePDM User Interface using default 'complete search' card and the variable tab.

Thank you,

Alex
