IconGrid has never really been a general purpose container, but has
always been used in conjunction with BaseIcon. IconGrid will soon
gain the ability to adjust the item size dynamically to adapt to the
available space, which will require that we can make some more
assumptions about the items added to the grid (namely: we need
access to BaseIcon's setIconSize() method).
So change addItem() to take an object instead, which should have
an actor and a (BaseIcon) icon property.
Based on a patch by Carlos Soriano.

Since the parameter of the function is the width, reflect that in
the function name. Also, since we are counting columns, not only
children for each row, reflect that in the function name also.

Now that we control our own destiny, I noticed that getResultsToDisplay
is the only user of this._notDisplayedResult, and it's called immediately
after setResults, which is the only thing that sets it. Just remove the
stateness entirely.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693836
Since the provider icon only appears in the list results, it makes
sense for that to be stored with the results class, rather than outside,
triggered by which sort of display it is.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693836
It turns out that this focus code broke sometime in the 3.6 cycle --
when updating results, the focus is always on the text entry, so this
never gets called. We'll eventually replace it with something that
keeps track of the focused result meta, but for now, remove it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693836
While this is a very simple translation right now, soon enough it will
be so that it will have a less crazy "public" API and can do things like
cache result metas.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693836
Since the two paths that call this want to keep the actor in two different
states, it makes sense to just call the one function that's the same between
both individually.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693836
Right now, this doesn't give us very much, since IconGrid and StBoxLayout
have different APIs. But since we want to introduce result caching, it
makes to reduce the duplication we already have so we don't need to add
the code to do so in both places.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693836
"description" is documented as a valid field for search result metas,
and ListSearchResults implements it, so pass it down to be used.
Also, don't wrap the description in quotes, so that the search provider
can decide if it is an excerpt from the searched text or something else.
And to that extent, set use_markup to true, so that terms can be
highlighted.

This is nothing but a middle man, as the view selector already owns
the search system. We want to start being a bit more tricky with what
we do with the search system so that we ignore whitespace, so let's
cut the middle-man out now.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693458
On large displays, we don't want the search results list to expand
across the whole screen; set a maximum width of 1000px.
Unfortunately, since in St max-width only affects size requisition, we
need a little custom layout manager to have it applied to the allocation
too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692453
These are for all search results except apps (and Wanda).
We also simplify a bit the packing of search results, which removes some
ugly code in navigateFocus() where we needed to call
st_widget_navigate_focus() twice, since the grid icon was composed by
two nested boxes, both focusable.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681797
Display a '+' icon on the provider icon if there are more results that are
hidden. If the provider icon is clicked, ask the provider to launch itself and
perform a search with the current terms.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681797
This allows us to fix the shortcomings of the original ActivateResult()
method. In particular:
- allow to pass the search terms to the provider
- allow to pass a user interaction timestamp
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689735
The only case when we're interested in using those parameters nowadays
is for DnD, which is handled in a separate method already.
Since we're not going to support DnD for non-app search results anyway,
drop the params from all the activateResults() calls; this will be
useful later since we're going to add another parameter to it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689735
The original design for the overview had buttons for searching for
Wikipedia and Google, but in practice this is a bad idea. The buttons
are the default activations, meaning that using the overview as a
fluent motion of launching something - "firefxo<Enter>", will launch
Google/Wikipedia.

When displaying children, we need to make sure that we use the rowLimit
property that we pass to iconGrid, rather than assuming that it's
always MAX_SEARCH_RESULTS_ROWS in case some subclass (in an extension maybe)
wants to do something different.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675527
role/label_actor should be used for the actor that will receive
the focus. In some cases it was also (wrongly) set on the
container, so using an AT like Orca, it exposed both.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672242
Now that all searches are async we can remove the code path for the
SearchSystem::search-completed signal which is no longer useful.
This patch ends up fixing the status text not being updated for when
there are no results.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675328
As shown in the previous commits, synchronous search is easily implemented
by the asynchronous search API. The only reason we still have a
synchronous search API is of historical reasons. Well, we're not a museum,
and git log can keep our fossils safe if need be....
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675328
We hide the content around displaying new search results to prevent
flickering, unfortunately, one side effect of hiding an actor is
losing key focus if it currently is on the that actor or any
child. This could happen in the case of async results showing up after
the user had moved focus to the search results.
This patch works around that issue by saving the key focus and
resetting it back after displaying the new async results.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675078
We currently require users to tab away from the search entry before
search results can be navigated using arrow keys. For convenience,
support using arrow keys directly from the entry.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663901
Currently, asynchronous search providers are expected to call
startAsync() in getInitialResultSet()/getSubsearchResultSet(),
which will trigger async mode until the search is canceled or
updated. Switching between synchronous and asynchronous mode like
this makes asynchronous search an implementation detail, but being
transparent to the searchDisplay means that certain optimizations
don't work as expected. Namely, updating asynchronous search results
causes flickering, and the automatic selection never focuses
asynchronous results.
So change the API to require providers being either synchronous (with
the current getInitialResultSet()/getSubsearchResultSet() methods)
or asynchronous (with asynchronous variants), and handle asynchronous
providers explicitly in searchDisplay.

renderResults() updates the results set, determines the number of
results to display, retrieves the corresponding result metas and
adds a new results actor for each meta.
Splitting the function in those parts allows to move the retrieval
of the result metas into SearchResults, which is where we ensure
flicker-free rendering and control the selection - we want to keep
both features for asynchronous result metas which we are about to
introduce.
