Dear all,
I have started to do a SpotLight plugin, i.e. a Search Engine Plugin
for Mac OS X. There are some things which I would like to discuss
here, if possible. They should be the same for all other possible
architectures (Linux, BSD , Windows, ... ).
A search engine normally stores things like the name, date of
creation, and so on of a certain file. If you write a plugin, you can
import meta data. For instance the document title, the author's name
some keywords and other related things.
1.) I would like to here some feed back on which meta tags, we should
make available to the search engines. At the moment, I have just made
a very crude version, which just grabs the document title and the
author.
.2) But even there is a problem, because I would like at flat text
representation, not a branch of the document's tree structure. Is
there any TeXmacs code, which I may reuse for this?
3.) Another brute force option, would be to use the xml-format as
default for TeXmacs. There excellent parsers for xml-code out there,
that we could use in this case. This would make it _very_ easy to do
such search engine plugins.
What is your opinion on this?
Yours,
Ingolf
