Hi Wojtek

Nice proposal (and something that would be really useful for Tuscany).

A question. It feels like absolutely the right thing to do to start at
the contribution and contribution content level but I'm interested in
the index field you have described as
"Service/Reference/Component/Binding/Implementation/... " which to me
suggests some indexing of the contents of the files in the
contribution, in this case the composite file.


By "Service/Reference/Component/Binding/Implementation/... " field I meant multiple fields. In fact we would have separate field for service, reference, component etc.

I'm asking as I'm attracted by the presentation example you give where
you show an initial phrase search giving way to more targeted item
based searches. A complexity of Tuscany is that it's based on number
hierarchies and relationships, e.g.

contribution import/export
component type
component promotion
component wiring
domain/node confguration
intent and policy configuration

Finding things can often mean searching through various, seemingly
unrelated, files. This is particularly the case where policy is
concerned.  It seems that you are solving this problem and I'm
wondering what general provision can be made to extend the index
beyond the original contribution object.

Regards

Simon


I'm not sure if I'm getting you correctly. Do you mean having some general index field instead of multiple fields for Service, Reference, Component etc.?
