Summary

The goal of this chapter was to explain how to implement share and search in a Windows Store app. I discussed share and search in the context of the My Notes sample app.

In the first part of this chapter, I showed you how you can make your app a share source or a share target. You learned how you can share notes from the My Notes app and how you can accept HTML and text content shared from another app.

Next, I demonstrated how you can support search in the My Notes app by using the Search charm or by using the SearchBox control. Finally, I explained how you can support advanced search queries, such as Boolean queries, by taking advantage of the Windows Index.
