23 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;; This package provides an interface to Xesam, a D-Bus based "eXtEnsible
26 ;; Search And Metadata specification". It has been tested with
28 ;; xesam-glib 0.3.4, xesam-tools 0.6.1
29 ;; beagle 0.3.7, beagle-xesam 0.2
30 ;; strigi 0.5.11
32 ;; The precondition for this package is a D-Bus aware Emacs. This is
33 ;; configured per default, when Emacs is built on a machine running
34 ;; D-Bus. Furthermore, there must be at least one search engine
35 ;; running, which supports the Xesam interface. Beagle and strigi have
36 ;; been tested; tracker, pinot and recoll are also said to support
37 ;; Xesam. You can check the existence of such a search engine by
39 ;; (dbus-list-queued-owners :session "org.freedesktop.xesam.searcher")
41 ;; In order to start a search, you must load xesam.el:
43 ;; (require 'xesam)
45 ;; xesam.el supports two types of queries, which are explained *very* short:
47 ;; * Full text queries. Just search keys shall be given, like
49 ;; hello world
51 ;; A full text query in xesam.el is restricted to files.
53 ;; * Xesam End User Search Language queries. The Xesam query language
54 ;; is described at <http://xesam.org/main/XesamUserSearchLanguage>,
55 ;; which must be consulted for the whole features.
57 ;; A query string consists of search keys, collectors, selectors,
58 ;; and phrases. Search keys are words like in a full text query:
60 ;; hello word
62 ;; A selector is a tuple <keyword><relation>. <keyword> can be any
63 ;; predefined Xesam keyword, the most common keywords are "ext"
64 ;; (file name extension), "format " (mime type), "tag" (user
65 ;; keywords) and "type" (types of items, like "audio", "file",
66 ;; "picture", "attachment"). <relation> is a comparison to a value,
67 ;; which must be a string (relation ":" or "=") or number (relation
68 ;; "<=", ">=", "<", ">"):
70 ;; type:attachment ext=el
72 ;; A collector is one of the items "AND", "and", "&&", "OR", "or",
73 ;; "||", or "-". The default collector on multiple terms is "AND";
74 ;; "-" means "AND NOT".
76 ;; albinus -type:file
78 ;; A phrase is a string enclosed in quotes, with appended modifiers
79 ;; (single letters). Examples of modifiers are "c" (case
80 ;; sensitive), "C" (case insensitive), "e" (exact match), "r"
81 ;; (regular expression):
83 ;; "Hello world"c
85 ;; You can customize, whether you want to apply a Xesam user query, or
86 ;; a full text query. Note, that not every search engine supports
87 ;; both query types.
89 ;; (setq xesam-query-type 'fulltext-query)
91 ;; Another option to be customised is the number of hits to be
92 ;; presented at once.
94 ;; (setq xesam-hits-per-page 50)
96 ;; A search can be started by the command
98 ;; M-x xesam-search
100 ;; When several search engines are registered, the engine to be used
101 ;; can be selected via minibuffer completion. Afterwards, the query
102 ;; shall be entered in the minibuffer.
104 ;; Search results are presented in a new buffer. This buffer has the
105 ;; major mode `xesam-mode', with the following keybindings:
107 ;; SPC `scroll-up'
108 ;; DEL `scroll-down'
109 ;; < `beginning-of-buffer'
110 ;; > `end-of-buffer'
111 ;; q `quit-window'
112 ;; z `kill-this-buffer'
113 ;; g `revert-buffer'
115 ;; The search results are represented by widgets. Navigation commands
116 ;; are the usual widget navigation commands:
118 ;; TAB `widget-forward'
119 ;; <backtab> `widget-backward'
121 ;; Applying RET, <down-mouse-1>, or <down-mouse-2> on a URL belonging
122 ;; to the widget, brings up more details of the search hit. The way,
123 ;; how this hit is presented, depends on the type of the hit. HTML
124 ;; files are opened via `browse-url'. Local files are opened in a new
125 ;; buffer, with highlighted search hits (highlighting can be toggled
126 ;; by `xesam-minor-mode' in that buffer).
128 ;;; Code:
130 ;; D-Bus support in the Emacs core can be disabled with configuration
131 ;; option "--without-dbus". Declare used subroutines and variables.
