You might also want to have a search method for VFS or apps so
SearchMetaData
input DBUS_TYPE_STRING s (the search string)
output DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY as (array of matching file uris)
The search string here should be freetext as in google/beagle but also
could include some of the metadata type names (enclosed in square
brackets). EG "[Author]=Jamie" would return all files with Jamie as
author while just "jamie" would return anything that contained the word
jamie anywhere (whether its in the metadata or in the indexed contents
of a file).
I should also add that this will also make adding vFolder support to VFS
and filemanagers trivial.
So to create a vfolder for all images/pictures you would just pass
"[MimeType]=image/*" to the search method.
