* Rename NOTMUCH_DATABASE_MODE_WRITABLE to NOTMUCH_DATABASE_MODE_READ_WRITEGravatar Carl Worth2009-11-21
| | | | And correspondingly, READONLY to READ_ONLY.
* Permit opening the notmuch database in read-only mode.Gravatar Chris Wilson2009-11-21
| | | | | | | | | We only rarely need to actually open the database for writing, but we always create a Xapian::WritableDatabase. This has the effect of preventing searches and like whilst updating the index. Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Acked-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>
* notmuch search: Avoid infinite stream of exceptions from "notmuch search"Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-18
| | | | | | That is, give a nice error message and exit if no search terms are provided. Thanks to Priit Laes <plaes@plaes.org> for reporting the error and providing an early version of the fix.

* notmuch search: Change default search order to be newest messages first.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is what most people want for a _search_ command. It's often different for actually reading mail in an inbox, (where it makes more sense to have results displayed in chronological order), but in such a case, ther user is likely using an interface that can simply pass the --sort=oldest-first option to "notmuch search". Here we're also change the sort enum from NOTMUCH_SORT_DATE and NOTMUCH_SORT_DATE_REVERSE to NOTMUCH_SORT_OLDEST_FIRST and NOTMUCH_SORT_NEWEST_FIRST. Similarly we replace the --reverse option to "notmuch search" with two options: --sort=oldest-first and --sort=newest-first. Finally, these changes are all tracked in the emacs interface, (which has no change in its behavior).
* notmuch search: Return first 100 results as quickly as possible.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | This is one of those cases where total time is not the metric of interest. We increase the total time of the search, (by doing some redundant work for the initial threads). But more significantly, we give the user *some* results nearly instantaneously, (so that the user might see the result of interest without ever even waiting for the complete results to come in).
* notmuch search: Add support for a --reverse option to reverse sort order.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that the difference between thread results in date order and thread results in reverse-date order is not simply a matter of reversing the final results. When sorting in date order, the threads are sorted by the oldest message in the thread. When sorting in reverse-date order, the threads are sorted by the newest message in the thread. This difference means that we might want an explicit option in the interface to reverse the order, (even though the default will be to display the inbox in date order and global searches in reverse-date order).
* notmuch search: Print the number of matched/total messages for each thread.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that we don't print the number of *unread* messages, but instead the number of messages that matched the search terms. This is in keeping with our philosophy that the inbox is nothing more than a search view. If we search for messages with an inbox tag, then that's what we'll get a count of. (And if somebody does want to see unread counts, then they can search for the "unread" tag.) Getting the number of matched messages is really nice when doing historical searches. For example in a search like: notmuch search tag:sent (where the "sent" tag has been applied to all messages originating from the user's email address)---here it's really nice to be able to see a thread where the user just mentioned one point [1/13] vs. really getting involved in the discussion [10/29].
* notmuch search: Add --first and --max-threads options for incremental search.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This time, things are actually tested. The current results aren't exactly the same as previous results since the incremental search doesn't necessarily see all the new messages that pertain to the thread. This means that some author names are missing. I plan to fix this by doing an additional database search for all messages in each thread. Of course, this will also be different than before since now the result will display *all* authors in the thread (rather than only those that matched the search) but that's probably what we really want to display anyway.
* libnotmuch: Underlying support for doing partial-results searches.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | The library interface now allows the caller to do incremental searches, (such as one page of results at a time). Next we'll just need to hook this up to "notmuch search" and the emacs interface.
* notmuch search: Print the names of author of matched emails.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-12
| | | | | | | It's important to have the names present for determining whether a thread is worth reading or not. We may want to think about abbreviating the list somehow if it is excessively long (or redundant as in bugzilla-daemon, bugzilla-daemon, bugzilla-daemon, etc.).
* Unbreak several notmuch commands after the addition of configuration.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All of the following commands: notmuch dump notmuch reply notmuch restore notmuch search notmuch show notmuch tag were calling notmuch_database_open with an argument of NULL. This was a legitimate call until the recent addition of configuration, after which it is expected that all commands will lookup the correct path in the configuration file. So fix all these commands to do that. Also, while touching all of these commands, we fix them to use the talloc context that is passed in rather than creating a local talloc context. We also switch from using goto for return values, to doing direct returns as soon as an error is detected, (which can be leak free thanks to talloc).
* notmuch: Break notmuch.c up into several smaller files.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-10
Now that the client sources are alone here in their own directory, (with all the library sources down inside the lib directory), we can break the client up into multiple files without mixing the files up. The hope is that these smaller files will be easier to manage and maintain.
