The only difference between the Windows 98/95/ME and the Windows 2000/XP/NT/2003 versions of dtSearch and dtIndexer is Unicode support in the user interface. Both versions of dtSearch create and access indexes in exactly the same way, and both support Unicode in indexing and searching. The Windows 2000/XP/NT/2003 versions just take advantage of the Unicode dialog box elements present in Windows 2000, XP, NT, and 2003 Server.
dtSearch Desktop Options
|
Switch |
Purpose |
|
/lib [index library] |
Specify a shared index library to use |
|
/dir [folder] |
Specify a UserData folder to use for settings files |
|
/cfg [options package] |
Specify an options package file to use |
|
/xl |
Do not use index libraries other than the one specified on the command-line |
The /xl command-line switch is used with the /lib or /cfg switch to prevent indexes other than the ones specified on the command-line from being visible in dtSearch.
The /dir command-line switch has no effect if a dtSearch folder already exists on the computer. It is used when running dtSearch from a network to specify a default local folder to use for dtSearch settings. See "Installing dtSearch on a Network" for more information.
