ISearchProtocolUI interface
Provides a method for invoking ISearchItem objects. Methods in this interface are called by the protocol host when processing URLs from the gatherer. The protocol handler implements the protocol for accessing a content source in its native format, and this interface implements a custom protocol handler to expand the data sources that can be indexed.
Members

Methods

| Method | Description |
