This should also allow for highlighting in other fields, notably
filename and title, so:
method getSnippet(in s query, in as uris, out a{sa{sas}})
returning the same type as
method getProperties ( in as files, out a{sa{sas}} properties )
(the wiki has the wrong definition)

Ok, I updated the wiki. With these signatures. I also (tried) to clarify the
corresponding return value descriptions.

I also made all method capitalized (fx getProperties -> GetProperties) to
adopt the convention from the native org.freedesktop.DBus methods.

Another switch for the query language could be "sort:" with some sane

Agreed, with score as default. (algorithm for determining score is free)

Added to the list of switches. I made it optional for a start.

Cheers,
Mikkel
