notmuch/lib/query.cc, branch 0.4

lib: Eliminate some redundant includes of xapian.h

2010-11-02T06:24:40Z

Most files including this already include database-private.h which includes xapian.h already.

lib: Add two functions: notmuch_query_get_query_string and _get_sort

2010-10-28T17:30:26Z

It can be handy to be able to query these settings from an existing query object.

lib: Fix notmuch_query_search_threads to return NULL on any Xapian exception.

2010-10-23T00:56:58Z

Previously, if the underlying search_messages hit an exception and returned NULL, this function would ignore that and return a non-NULL, (but empty) threads object. Fix this to properly propagate the error.

lib: Ensure notmuch_query_search_messages returns NULL on an exception.

2010-04-24T14:27:50Z

Previously, this function may have segfaulted immediately after reporting the exception.

query.cc: allow to return query results unsorted

2010-04-21T23:06:05Z

Previously, we always sorted the returned results by some string value, (newest-to-oldest by default), however in some cases (as when applying tags to a search result) we are not interested in any special order. This introduces a NOTMUCH_SORT_UNSORTED value that does just that. It is not used at the moment anywhere in the code. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth

Name thread based on matching msgs instead of first msg.

2010-04-21T21:56:53Z

At the moment all threads are named based on the name of the first message in the thread. However, this can cause problems if people either start new threads by replying-all (as unfortunately, many out there do) or change the subject of their mails to reflect a shift in a thread on a list. This patch names threads based on (a) matches for the query, and (b) the search order. If the search order is oldest-first (as in the default inbox) it chooses the oldest matching message as the subject. If the search order is newest-first it chooses the newest one. Reply prefixes ("Re: ", "Aw: ", "Sv: ", "Vs: ") are ignored (case-insensitively) so a Re: won't change the subject. Note that this adds a "sort" argument to _notmuch_thread_create and _thread_add_matched_message, so that when constructing the thread we can be aware of the sort order.

lib: Handle "*" as a query string to match all messages.

2010-04-10T00:43:58Z

This seems like a generally useful thing to support, (but the previous support through an empty string was not convenient for some users, (such as the command-line client).

lib: Rename iterator functions to prepare for reverse iteration.

2010-03-09T17:22:29Z

We rename 'has_more' to 'valid' so that it can function whether iterating in a forward or reverse direction. We also rename 'advance' to 'move_to_next' to setup parallel naming with the proposed functions 'move_to_first', 'move_to_last', and 'move_to_previous'.

lib: Explicitly set BoolWeight when searching.

2010-01-09T19:16:40Z

All notmuch searches currently sort by value (either date or message ID) so it's just wasted effort for Xapian to compute relevance values for each result. We now explicitly tell Xapian that we're uninterested in the relevance values.

Silence compiler warning by initializing a variable.

2009-11-28T02:38:06Z

If Xapian threw an exception on notmuch_query_count_messages the count variable could be used uninitialized. Initialize count to solve the problem. Signed-off-by: Jeffrey C. Ollie
