The interface remains the same, but the web worker
returns a pseudo dictionary (actually an object)
after being told the search. The key value pairs
for this dictionary are ids and scores.
The search controller now updates the display
results list, then repeatedly asks the
aggregator to update until the timestamps
all are at least as new as the one that the
controller originally gave for the query.
Basically, the search now updates correctly
without having to press enter again.
The search aggregator now correctly gets
from the providers, but because of not
sync, the display is effectively one press
behind the correct search results.
Still, working to some extent.
Removed the paging from the search view,
because later instead of paging there will
be a 'view more' option.
Also made the generic search provider
return searchResult objects instead of
raw domain objects.
(Temporariliy removed the elasticsearch provider
from bundle.json)
Added a timestamp parameter to the query so that
the aggregator can tell when the results were last
updated. Created a separate function for getting
the results list. GenericSearch now converts back
from models to domain objects after the web worker
does its work.
Connecting GenericSearch to the web worker is still
in progress. The aggregator currently gets the
results before the web worker is finished. In process
of fixing sync issue.
Changed the search aggregator's filterRepeats
function to choose the version of the searchResult
object that has the higher score, when it
encounters multiple searchResult objects
corresponding to a domain object ID.
Also changed the search providers and aggregator
such that the validType parameter is now optional,
with a function that always returns true as the
defualt.
Changed the providers to return only the first
search result. Each searchResult object has a
function next() which returns the next search
result. This allows the search aggregator to
load more results without making a whole new
search query. (Still requuires some cleaning
up.)
Added a time limit for generic search's indexing
of the filetree, at which point it will just
return the portion of the filetree it has
indexed.
Additioanlly attempted to move this part of
the functionality to a webworker, but is not
working because of unclonability of the
objects. (Commented out)
Also updated some documentation comments.
Changed how the generic search provider determines
search matches. It now splits the search input into
search terms by spliting at spaces, and then scores
the results by how many of the terms appear as
substrings in the result.
Added validType() as a callback parameter to the search
providers. It is defined in the search aggregator, and
is used to put any restrictions on object type in the
displayed search results.
Renamed EverythingSearchProvider to GenericSearchProvider.
Changed the controller for the search input
to respond on keypress rather than keyup.
Added comments better explaining searchResult
objects to the search aggregator.
The search aggregator now merges search
results from different providers better.
It removed duplicate results, and orders
the list of results from highest to
lowest score.
Renamed QueryService as SearchService and changed
the corresponding references to it. Added a
SearchAggregator file and related files. Not
yet begun with the implementation.
