SearchInfo and SearchInfoFactory
The MapInfo.Data.SearchInfo class defines the query used in a search and handles any necessary
post processing of the search results.
The SearchInfoFactory creates SearchInfo objects. SearchInfoFactory contains a number of search
methods that allow you to search using spatial references to your search location or by using
geometries that are drawn on the screen.
The following table describes the SearchInfoFactory search methods.

Methods Behavior
SearchAll Returns all the rows.
SearchNearest Returns the rows with table geometries that are closest to the given
search point.
SearchWhere Returns the rows specified by the given where Clause.
SearchWithinDistance Returns the rows where the table geometry is contained within a
distance of the search point, rectangle or geometry. This method
uses the Geometry.Distance method to determine if an object is in
or out the search area. Previously SearchWithinDistance had
buffered the distance and searched within the buffer, leading to less
accurate results.
SearchWithinFeature Returns the rows where the table geometry is contained within the
search features's geometry.
SearchWithinGeometry Returns the rows where the table geometry is contained within the
search geometry.
SearchWithinRect Returns the rows where the table geometry intersects the given
rectangle.
SearchIntersectsFeature Returns the rows where the table geometry intersects with the
search features's geometry.
