I think this will be the best...

Hi PipoXtreme,

here is a version which has some logging output.
The zip file contains one file "scout". Copy this file
to your device in the directory /home/user/
In xterm enter this command (as normal user, not root!):
/home/user/scout
The scout app opens. Select the category conversation
and enter a search word. After the search finished close
the application.
Now you have the file scout_search.log in the /home/user
directory.
Please mail me this file, there are no private information in this
file, just some logging entries so I can trace back what the
application did.

I've the problem I can't start the app with xterm... why this...

Try this
chmod a+x /home/user/scout
(this makes the program executable)
and than try again to start the program.

thanks nicolai.. this help ...maybe I found the problem... can you tell me if the app just search in the communication or search the app as well the contact of the conversations ?

bt anyway.. here is the report...

scout searches the events in the eventlogger, the same
data you can see from the conversation app. It than tries to find
the contact information for this messages.

From the logfile :
You can see, the search text is found in one message,
it found a user/sender name and
add the result to the result list.
I have no idea why it doesn't show any result.

edit: Ah and of course, if you enable only the conversation search,
scout searches in the conversation text, it does not use the search
string to search for senders. So if you want to search for
messages from "mary" you will only find messages where "mary"
is part of the message text.

and this mean everything ok in the app ? )

No, if you search for a text which is definitly in your text messages
and scout doesn't show any result, then something is wrong with
the application. But I don't know what or how to trace that back.

nicolai

then everything is ok ... It works... i search a word which is dif. inside... and it come up

Excellent app - THANK YOU! I was a bit upset when I couldn't find the Search utility on my N900 -- I had relied on it so much with my old Nokia E75! Now I'm happy again!
