Is there an alternative to using SearchView in a URL. The problem that I have is that SearchView uses the Full-text index on a database, which means that the updates in the database are not instant.
Even if the Full-text index update is set to Immediate the delay can be at least 15 mins, which is unacceptable when paticular browser views look for updates which can be send every minute.

You could create a customized search form in your database which, when submitted, calls a webquerysave agent. The agent can perform a database search and return the results.

Thanks Alex. Is it possible to pass a query to the search form? In our case, we have an external program pass a query in the following format “http://///?SEARCHVIEW&QUERY=FIELD%20Subject%20EQUALS%20%20000190&SEARCHORDER=3” where 000190 is a job no. Can this job no be passed through to the search form automatically?
Thanks

Sure can!
You can pull out the search query parameters from the ‘Query_String’ value passed to the form. A WebQueryOpen agent can then perform the search using the parameters and return the results to the page as it opens.

Excellent thanks.
You wouldn’t have an example of say the URL and search form to really propel me on my way, would you?
