This task allows a user to search specifically for a requested query with matching keywords over Windows Phone 7.
So, let's get it started!!!
The Complete Code of IService1.cs looks like this.
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;
namespace WCF_Search_Application
{
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.
[ServiceContract]
public interface IService1
{
[OperationContract]
string Search(string a);
}
}
The Complete Code of Service1.svc.cs looks like this.
Code:

using System.Text;
namespace WCF_Search_Application
{
// NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in code, svc and config file together.
public class Service1 : IService1
{
public string Search(string a)
{
return "" + a;
}
}
}
