Summary: D-Bus PIM API: sorting and searching
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: ASSIGNED
Version: unspecified
Component: SyncEvolution
Product: SyncEvolution
One design decision in the PIM API design is that there is only a single UI.
Sorting is global and the same for all views.
Sorting is highly specific to local rules. This goes beyond taking the local
character set and collation into account. In addition, some countries also have
rules about ignoring certain name parts (Tussenvoegels in the Netherland, for
example).
Deployment as part of specific UIs might also lead to different sort and search
criteria. Therefore SyncEvolution provides a "plugin mechanism": at compile
time, the actual implementation file can be chosen via the
--enable-dbus-service-pim parameter.
SyncEvolution will provide a default sort and search implementation, based on
boost::locale (and thus ICU) to handle UTF-8 correctly. It will *not* support
stripping Tussenvoegels.
Searching has two different use cases:
- A user looks up a contact by entering a search text.
- The telephone system provides a caller ID which needs
to be matched with a contact.
APIs

Manager.SetSortOrder/GetSortOrder - control sorting
