ISearchQueryHelper::get_QueryContentLocale method (searchapi.h)

Gets the language code identifier (LCID) for the query.

Syntax

HRESULT get_QueryContentLocale(
  [out, retval] LCID *plcid
);

Parameters

[out, retval] plcid

Type: LCID*

Receives a pointer to the locale identifier used.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

The locale identifier has the components necessary to uniquely identify one of the installed system-defined locales. The locale retrieved is used for word breaking, normalizing, and stemming the string values extracted from the query string. If the locale identifier was not set with ISearchQueryHelper::put_QueryContentLocale, the active input locale is retrieved.
