Hey,

I’m currently working on the search capabilities of the calendar app.
Due to the app’s nature we need to generate the search results in JavaScript.

OCA.Search provides three kinds of functions an app can register: filters, 
renderers, handlers

A filter is called when the search input changes and the app is supposed to 
filter its current view based on the query.
As far as I can tell from the code filters are not supposed to generate a list 
of search results and the result of the filter function is simply ignored.

Renderers and handlers both require some server side code, so it’s not suitable 
in my use case.

Is there an ‘official’ way to generate a list of search results in JavaScript?

If not, what to do about it?
Overwriting OCA.Search.search(…) won’t work, because showResults and addResults 
are private functions.
Just implement my own OCA.Search?

One thing I noted during investigating this issue:
Our developer documentation is really lacking information about public JS APIs.
Now I’m familiar with ownCloud’s code base, but new app developers are really 
left behind here. :/

Cheers,
Georg
