Does Novus Search return child count?

Joe Baarsch

I am doing a Novus search with the Novus API and am wondering if child counts are returned in the xml. When I step through the return data I do not see Child counts populated but wanted to verify this is expected behavior:

NortManager manager = this.GetNort(tocInfo, true);

manager.DomainDescriptor = tocInfo.DomainDescriptor;
manager.SetFilter(tocInfo.Filter, NortFilterType.FILTER_TYPE_PREDEFINED);
manager.ShowChildrenCount = true;

Thomson.Novus.ProductAPI.Search search = manager.GetSearch();
search.QueryText = keywords;

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(documentPortion))
{
search.DocumentPortion = documentPortion;
}

search.QueryType = SearchQueryType.BOOLEAN;
search.HighlightFlag = false;
search.UseQueryWarnings = false;
// TODO: get a configurable limit from appsettings in future??? For now make constant value
search.DocumentLimit = 500;

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(tocInfo.Collection))
{
search.AddCollection(tocInfo.Collection);
}
else
{
search.AddCollectionSet(tocInfo.CollectionSet);
}

Progress progress = search.Submit(true);
while (!progress.IsComplete)
{
progress = search.GetProgress(null, 1000);
}

Looking at the Novus Product APIs documentation on the Novus Portal ([https://theshare.thomsonreuters.com/sites/novus/SitePages/Home.aspx][1]) I see the following API available for Novus NORT:
boolean getShowChildrenCount() Returns the show children count

I suggest that you contact your assigned Novus Consultant to work through this question with more specifics, if this doesn't answer your question fully. If you don't already have an NC you are working with, please let me know and I'll try to help.
