Eikon .NET API for symbol lookup?

Hello!
What is the proposed way to programmatically locate symbols (RICs) using a user entered search term?We are thinking of a search by (partial) RIC name (e.g. DTE finds
DTE, DTEGn.DE etc) or display name, e.g. a user enters "Telekom" which will find, among others "DTEGn.DE" (Deutsche Telekom), "TELA.VI" (Telekom Austria) etc.
Basically what we want to achieve is what you get in Eikon Terminal when you start typing something in the edit field (and the "more search results dialog" when you press Shift-Enter).We are currently using the Eikon .NET Timeseries API in C#.

@GoGoGroundhog unfortunately there is not a way you can achieve this with .NET. The workflow for App Studio apps implies a user using the search field that is a part of the standard container, results of the search get injected into the app through the ContextChanged event.

Thanks for your reply Zhenya.
Unfortunately the app in question is not an AppStudio application.
Can you propose alternative APIs (accessible from .NET, e.g. via COM) that could achieve this task?0 -
Okay I found the RSearch/EikonDesktopDataAPI COM APIs which may be helpful for this task.
Is anyone able to answer these questions:
- can I use the EikonDesktopDataAPI/RSearch in a process explicitly targeting 64bits?
- is my understanding right that though I can search for display names and/or RICs the response will always only contain RIC names? Will I have to issue a request to another API to resolve display names for every search result?

@GoGoGroundhog my apologies for the delay. I suggest you start a new topic on the forum when you have an additional question.
- Rsearch should work in x64
- That's correct, to get additional info use DEX2, the reference data API, and TR.* fields (you can see the list either on eikon in Data Item Browser app [DIB] or Excel's formula builder), as the real-time API, Adfix Real-time, does not work in x64
