Figure 8: Finding and retrieving an item from a file share or UNC site
4.22.1 Issuing a Search for Item Metadata
As illustrated by the figure in section 4.22, the client first issues a Search request (section
2.2.2.14) to the server to retrieve metadata about the item (if the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
points to an item) or the items (if the URI points to a folder). The client then does the following:
•Indicates that the client is searching a document library store by using the search:Name
element (section 2.2.3.103.2).
•Provides the URI as the search:Value element (section 2.2.3.169) in an search:EqualTo query
(section 2.2.3.56).
•Indicates the range of results that the client wants to have returned in the response.
In this example, the client is attempting to retrieve metadata for the files in a UNC share.
4.22.1.1 Request
The following example shows the Search command request (section 2.2.2.14.1) sent from the client
to the server to search for item metadata.
