Data result presentation¶

• User can sort a search result by clicking the column headers.
• Do not separate folder and files anymore
• By default, sorted by the "relevance" column

Comments¶

A solution to search with extensions is to create a second index containing only extensions and do not index the file extension in the first index. A simple hash map may be enough for the extensions. Thus the terms will never match any extension.

Extension are stored as meta-data with the semantic of "file type".
