Basically yea, it's a question of way the DB is corrupted, if there's some misbehaving dataprovider that corrupts it (yes there'd had to be some vulnerability in our code and sqlite) we could end up just retiring the DB all the time.
That said my concern was more because some requests might be queued up which might not fail, but that could be solved by firing a low prio timer to retire the DB and quit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Zeitgeist Framework Team, which is subscribed to Zeitgeist Framework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961974 Title: Recover from Zeitgeist database corruption (detected at query time) Status in Unity: Incomplete Status in Unity Files Lens: Incomplete Status in Zeitgeist Framework: In Progress Bug description: This is based on the checkbox test: 1. Start gedit. 2. Save a file named "foo" in your home folder. 1. Tap super to open the dash 2. Enter "f" -> The results should contain at least the "foo" file and "Firefox" 3. Click on the cross next to "f", in the textentry -> The "f" search should be canceled, bringing you back to the generic "Search" entry with the default elements I slightly modified it and instead of file called foo I have a "hello_world_file" (as foo returned far too many other results). Actual result: The file can not be found via dash (or file lens).
