In order to communicate with FAST Search via its API, we need to know the port on which the QRServer is running.
I followed these steps to locate it:
- Log into the FAST admin site (http://server:port/admin).
- Navigate to System Overview.
- Locate "Search Dispatcher" and click the spyglass icon:
- I successfully used the value, 15100 for "Info Name" = "http":
Mga Tala:
1. Port 15100 appears to be the default out-of-the-box port number for the QRServer.
2. Gamitin ang code na kamukha ng mga sumusunod upang magbigay ng halimbawa ng koneksyon sa FAST:
ISearchFactory searchFactory; NameValueCollection nameValueCollection = bago NameValueCollection(); nameValueCollection.Add("fastsearchengine", "Com.FastSearch.Esp.Search.Http.HttpSearchFactory"); nameValueCollection.Add("Com.FastSearch.Esp.Search.Http.QRServers", "fastdemoback:15102"); nameValueCollection.Add("Com.FastSearch.Esp.Search.Http.RequestMethod", "GET"); searchFactory = SearchFactory.NewInstance(nameValueCollection);
3. Kung pumili ka ng isang wildly maling port, kumuha ka ng isang kapaki-pakinabang na mensahe ng error:
4. Gayunman, kung piliin mo ang port number na nakalista sa pangkalahatang-ideya (15102) you don’t get that helpful error message. Sa halip, mamaya kapag sinusubukan mong i-access ang anumang data sa pamamagitan ng isang paghahanap o banggitin ang isang view ng FAST, you get an error. Debugging shows that the searchFactory’s view count is zero. You’ll be given the message "Failed to fetch Search View List".

I found this extremely useful, Paul. Thanks for sharing this. I have not been sent on any fast training course and I’ve been trying to reverse engineer the ESP web parts project in codeplex to build a proof-of-concept prototype.
