[Announce] scout - search contacts, conversations and calendars
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,
here is my new Application. Scout - Search Contacts, Conversations and Calendars. You can search for text in Contacts for names, nicknames usernames, addresses or phone numbers. Calenderentries with summary or description text. And text in your conversations. It is currently in extras-devel. It may crash sometimes but is mostly useable. An example is shown in the screenshot for searchtext "test". The search result category is indicated by the different icons on the left side (contacts, calender, sms). I use two different kind of icons for sms and chat conversations and for each two different icons (with and without the blue arrow) to distinguish received and outgoing messages. Selecting a search result has different actions: -opens a contact details dialog for contacts -opens the calendar app for calendar entries (agenda view) -opens a new window with the full message text for conversations. I wished I could open the conversation app for the conversation search result, but I couldn't find a way to do so. This is my entry for the coding competition. I want to announce it here and now, first, to collect some feedback and second, because I know there is a some demand for such an app. Enjoy, test and give feedback. regards nicolai |

Cool! One reason I love the "N" so much. You don't have something, you don't like something, hack it up :)
Kudos to u! |

Thanks !!! :D |
Re: [Announce] scout - search contacts, conversations and calendars
A thousand thanks, this app is fantastic and much needed!
After playing around, I have a few first remarks: - searching is case-sensitive, could there be an option to change this? - how about an option to jump to the selected entry in conversations? - pressing enter on hardware keyboard could highlight search button |
Re: [Announce] scout - search contacts, conversations and calendars
I have a small feature request, if possible, to be able to search the Note field of a contact as well? I use this field a lot (solves the problem of what was the name of the Lawyer my friend recommended to call last month :) )
Thanks a lot! |

to open the conversation app for one conversation. I found no API, no DBUS call for this. So this message window for the search result in conversations is just a workaround. Quote:
