Description

SearchOrder gets the order in which spatial searches are applied by the RDBMS (ArcSDE). This property only affects ArcSDE Geodatabase data. It has no effect on Personal or File Geodatabase, Coverage or Shapefile data.

Remarks

SearchOrder gets the order in which spatial searches are applied by the RDBMS (ArcSDE). The spatial component of the search should generally be applied before the attribute component. The more spatially restrictive of the two should be used. In the following query, "Find all wells with particulate counts between 1000 and 1200 in within 5 miles of a school", the esriSearchOrderAttribute enumerator is more effective. If the filter geometry is the outline of the city of Modesto, California and the attribute query is "street_name='Main St.'" then esriSearchOrderSpatial should be used, as there are a large number of "Main St." records at a national level.

Please note that esriSearchOrderSpatial is the default option.  The following esriSearchOrder enumeration values are used to set the search order:

esriSearchOrderAttribute

Sets the search order to attribute first.

esriSearchOrderSpatial

Sets the search order to spatial first.
