Provides classes and interfaces for search pages. | |
New search dialog pages can be contributed via a plug-in extension point. | |
This package provides the interfaces and classes to implement these dialog | |
pages and offers hooks to populate the search result view. | |
<h2> | |
Package Specification</h2> | |
Each search dialog page must implement <tt>ISearchPage</tt>. A search page | |
has access to its container (<tt>ISearchPageContainer</tt>) to modify search | |
dialog properties. The class <tt>SearchUI</tt> can activate the search | |
results view and provide access to the active search results view (<tt>ISearchResultView</tt>). | |
<p>It is the clients responsibility to create a marker for each match and | |
then report the match to the search result view together with a key (<tt>groupByKey</tt>). | |
Each key corresponds to a search result view entry (<tt>ISearchResultViewEntry</tt>) | |
which allows to step through the markers grouped by the key. | |
