Protocol Handler SDK? Need searchapi.h, srchprth.idl files.

Hi, All.

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have been doing research and I can't seem to findsearchapi.h,srchprth.idl anywhere.

I have installed the Windows Server 2001 SP1 SDK, Office 2007 SharePoint Server SDK and Windows Sharepoint Services V3 SDK, none of which have the required files. Unless I'm missing something, this shouldn't be this difficult.

I've read through the limited devguide (http://addins.msn.com/devguide.aspx#Interfaces) but the SDK offered there is only the WDS Query API.

Can someone please help?

Hello Stephane,

After searhing through the Windows SDK a bit I found that the header and IDL files, searchapi.h and searchapi.idl, are not available on Windows Server 2001 SP1. As far as server operating systems go, you need the Windows Server 2003 SP1 SDK.

See: http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633193.aspx

Shoot.. I meant, I have the Windows Server 2003 SP1 SDK installed.

I guess I'll try to re-install it on a fresh image.

Hi Stephane,

How are you doing? Hope you got the way to use searchapi.h and srchprth.idl. Even I'm looking the way out of using searchapi.h & srchprth.idl. I'm not able to get the files. I went through all the stuffs and found this blog. It'll be very kind of you, if you show me the way how to use those files. From where do I get those files. I'm in great need of that. Please do this favour to me.

Waiting for the crucial reply from yours side...

Regards,

Vikas Kumar

Hello Vikas,

I you want to develop a PH for WDS 3 then you need the new searchapi.h and searchapi.idl contained in the Windows SDK:

Forthermore you need Visual Studio 2005. VS6 is not compatible with the Windows SDK!

Good luck!
