Perform a full text search possibly restricted to a ZeitgeistTimeRange and/or set of event templates.

The default boolean operator is AND. Thus the query foo bar will be interpreted as foo AND bar. To exclude a term from the result set prepend it with a minus sign - eg. foo -bar. Phrase queries can be done by double quoting the string "foo is a bar". You can truncate terms by appending a *.

There are a few keys you can prefix to a term or phrase to search within a specific set of metadata. They are used like key:value. The keys name and title search strictly within the text field of the event subjects. The key app searches within the application name or description that is found in the actor attribute of the events. Lastly, you can use the site key to search within the domain name of subject URIs.

You can also control the results with the boolean operators AND and OR and you may use brackets, ( and ), to control the operator precedence.

FIXME: how do we put documentation into _finish? The total hit count of the query will be available via the returned result set by calling zeitgeist_result_set_estimated_matches(). This will often be bigger than the actual number of events held in the result set, which is limited by the num_events parameter passed to zeitgeist_index_search().

Perform a full text search possibly restricted to a ZeitgeistTimeRange and/or set of event templates. As opposed to zeitgeist_index_search(), this call will also return numeric relevancies of the events in the ZeitgeistResultSet.

See zeitgeist_index_search() for more details on how to create the query.

zeitgeist_index_new ()

ZeitgeistIndex *
zeitgeist_index_new (void);

Create a new index that interfaces with the default event index of the Zeitgeist daemon.

Create a new zeitgeist_index_new() instance. The index will start to connect to Zeitgeist asynchronously. You can however start calling methods on the returned instance immediately, any method calls issued before the connection has been established will simply be queued and executed once the connection is up.

Returns: A reference to a newly allocated index. Free with g_object_unref().
