Long ago, the search system worked in a synchronous manner: providers were given a query, and results were collected in a single array of [provider, results] pairs, and then the search display was updated from that. We introduced an asynchronous search system when we wanted to potentially add a Zeitgeist search provider to the Shell in 3.2. For a while, search providers were either async or sync, which worked by storing a dummy array in the results, and adding a method for search providers to add results later. Later, we removed the search system entirely and ported the remaining search providers to simply use the API to modify the empty array, but the remains of the synchronous search system with its silly array still lingered. Finally, it's time to modernize. Promises^WCallbacks are the future. Port the one remaining in-shell search engine (app search) to the new callback based system, and simplify the remote search system in the process. |
