Great news for the .NET developers! GroupDocs.Search for .NET 24.4 (DLLs only package) has been released, and it equips developers with two key features: seamless Arabic search and persistent in-memory indexes. Upgrade your Windows, Linux, and macOS-powered C# text search apps with these useful features.

Work with Arabic Alphabets in Your .NET Apps

The latest .NET text search API streamlines Arabic content indexing by automatically enabling Arabic character support within your .NET indexing apps. No manual configuration of the Alphabet dictionary is needed to use Arabic (text) content.

Save the In-Memory Indexes to Disk

You can now leverage the capability to save resource-intensive in-memory indexes to disk with GroupDocs.Search for .NET. This feature is useful for large indexes exceeding RAM capacity. The saved indexes can be loaded from disk for continued use, improving the performance and efficiency of your cross-platform applications. Here is how you can use this functionality in your C# solutions.

string indexFolder = @"c:\MyIndex\";
string documentsFolder = @"c:\MyDocuments\";

// Creating an in-memory index
Index index = new Index();

// Indexing documents from the specified folder
index.Add(documentsFolder);

// Saving the index to disk
index.SaveTo(indexFolder);

// Closing the in-memory index
index.Dispose();

// Opening the index from disk
index = new Index(indexFolder);

// Searching in the index
string query = "focus";
SearchResult result = index.Search(query);
