NAME

       gnome-search-tool - the GNOME Search Tool

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-search-tool [options]

       or select Search for Files...  from a Main Menu or from the Places menu in a Menu Bar

DESCRIPTION

       GNOME  Search Tool is a utility for finding files on your system. To perform a basic search, you can type a filename or a partial filename,
       with or without wildcards. To refine your search, you can apply additional search options.

       GNOME Search Tool uses the find, grep, and locate UNIX commands. The case sensitivity of the search depends on your operating  system.  For
       example, on Linux, the find, grep, and locate commands support the -i option, so all searches are case-insensitive.

       For full documentation see the GNOME Search Tool online help.

NAME

       Class::DBI::Search::Basic - Simple Class::DBI search

SYNOPSIS

	       my $searcher = Class::DBI::Search::Basic->new(
		       $cdbi_class, @search_args
	       );

	       my @results = $searcher->run_search;

	       # Over in your Class::DBI subclass:

	       __PACKAGE__->add_searcher(
		       search  => "Class::DBI::Search::Basic",
		 isearch => "Class::DBI::Search::Plugin::CaseInsensitive",
	       );

DESCRIPTION

       This is the start of a pluggable Search infrastructure for Class::DBI.

       At the minute Class::DBI::Search::Basic doubles up as both the default search within Class::DBI as well as the search base class. We will
       probably need to tease this apart more later and create an abstract base class for search plugins.

METHODS

   new
	       my $searcher = Class::DBI::Search::Basic->new(
		       $cdbi_class, @search_args
	       );

       A Searcher is created with the class to which the results will belong, and the arguments passed to the search call by the user.

   opt
	       if (my $order = $self->opt('order_by')) { ... }

       The arguments passed to search may contain an options hash. This will return the value of a given option.

   run_search
	       my @results = $searcher->run_search;
	       my $iterator = $searcher->run_search;

       Actually run the search.

SUBCLASSING

   sql / bind / fragment
       The actual mechanics of generating the SQL and executing it split up into a variety of methods for you to override.

       run_search() is implemented as:

	 return $cdbi->sth_to_objects($self->sql, $self->bind);

       Where sql() is

	 $cdbi->sql_Retrieve($self->fragment);

       There are also a variety of private methods underneath this that could be overridden in a pinch, but if you need to do this I'd rather you
       let me know so that I can make them public, or at least so that I don't remove them from under your feet.
