Hi,

We've been using WDS 3.01 in our Search Application. We use "System.Search.AutoSummary" property to retrieve the preview text from WDS. But to our suprise in WS 4.0, this property is not supported. I've tried to find out alternate property to use with WS 4.0 but no luck.

And also, the "System.Search.AutoSummary" retrieves the first 2K data from the WDS, which is not useful in most cases. Our requirement is to retrieve the text that is near to the Search word hit.

Could you please point us to the right property to use?

Regards,

Sha
