The Search COM component parses a search string input by a library user and produces a new search string that can be used in an SQL query. The Search object also calls stored procedures that create tables of search results. This is a diagram of the Search component:
As is the case with all COM components, Search supports the IUnknown and IDispatch interfaces. You can learn more about them in reference materials about COM programming or component creation with Microsoft Visual Basic®. You can also query for these topics in the Microsoft Platform SDK. For information on the other interfaces exposed by this component, see Automatic Object Interfaces.
