The dtSearch Engine is a 32-bit DLL with an exported function-call interface. To use the dtSearch Engine to a C++ project, 

1. Add dten600.lib to the project. This will link in the dtSearch Engine DLL, dten600.dll. 

2. Add dtsearch.cpp and dtsviewr.cpp to the project. These modules define constructors and other functions for interface structures used in the dtSearch Engine API. 

3. #include <dtsearch.h> in files that call the dtSearch Engine. 

4. Add the dtSearch Engine examples\cpp\include folder to your compiler's list of include folders, so that it will find dtSearch Engine header files. 

The C++ function-call interface consists of a series of API functions with names that begin "dtss" (such as dtssDoSearchJob) and structures used with those API functions, with names that begin "dts" (such as dtsSearchJob). 

In addition to the basic C/C++ function-call interface, the dtSearch Engine includes a small class library to make the interface easier to work with. See C++ Support Classes for more information. This class library is not built into the dtSearch Engine DLL. Instead, it is provided in source code form as a set of C++ files you can include in your project.
