d7ed7c256c Fix the startup trouble the search code was causing (moved DB call into init() function rather than constructor) -- sorry about that 2006-08-08 05:26:51 +00:00

d67d96c321 Closes #7, Add advanced search functionality to data layer
Implemented advanced/saved search architecture -- to use, you create a new search with var search = new Scholar.Search(), add conditions to it with addCondition(condition, operator, value), and run it with search(). The standard conditions with their respective operators can be retrieved with Scholar.SearchConditions.getStandardConditions(). Others are for special search flags and can be specified as follows (condition, operator, value):

'context', null, collectionIDToSearchWithin
'recursive', 'true'|'false' (as strings!--defaults to false if not specified, though, so should probably just be removed if not wanted), null
'joinMode', 'any'|'all', null

For standard conditions, currently only 'title' and the itemData fields are supported -- more coming soon.

Localized strings created for the standard search operators


API:

search.setName(name) -- must be called before save() on new searches
search.load(savedSearchID)
search.save() -- saves search to DB and returns a savedSearchID
search.addCondition(condition, operator, value)
search.updateCondition(searchConditionID, condition, operator, value)
search.removeCondition(searchConditionID)
search.getSearchCondition(searchConditionID) -- returns a specific search condition used in the search
search.getSearchConditions() -- returns search conditions used in the search
search.search() -- runs search and returns an array of item ids for results
search.getSQL() -- will be used by Dan for search-within-search

Scholar.Searches.getAll() -- returns an array of saved searches with 'id' and 'name', in alphabetical order
Scholar.Searches.erase(savedSearchID) -- deletes a given saved search from the DB

Scholar.SearchConditions.get(condition) -- get condition data (operators, etc.)
Scholar.SearchConditions.getStandardConditions() -- retrieve conditions for use in drop-down menu (as opposed to special search flags)
Scholar.SearchConditions.hasOperator() -- used by Dan for error-checking
