Custom Web part based on search object model to query accross site collections

Question

I'm looking for examples how to build a web part (code) that queries all doc libs in a web application (Done by a created search scope, a scope exists with all the docs from all doc libs) and displays the last 10 created documents.

What's the best method to use? Is FullTextSqlQuery sqlQuery = new FullTextSqlQuery(SPContext.Current.Site); a valid option or should I use LinQ?

Answer 1

FullTextSqlQuery is a valid approach (requires SharePoint Server). You could also consider the KeywordQuery class.

Link on MSDN.

Example code for tasks list (class derived from search web part).
