Search Filter Inadequacy

[pvanleeu]

I have noticed that using the API filter to search for principals is not all that great. Is there a better way to search for users and groups within livecycle that will yeild more accurate results?

[pvanleeu]

Apparently the search will only return 10 results (which is why I wasn't finding all the users/groups with the consistency that I wanted to).

Is there a way to change the number of results that is returned? I know in the adminui it will return more users... There must be a way.

Take a look at the Find User service within Foundation.

Ok... But how does that help me with finding items with the API. I am pretty certain the foundation is using the same method calls that I am doing. Unless you have any insight that I do not?

The PrincipalSearchFilter (and all other user management filters) expose following function -

public void setResultsMax(int resultsMax)

you may set the value to get results beyond default value of 10.

Thanks. I can't believe I missed this one.
