Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 67088
SearchDescriptor.SearchType is not documented
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:27:49 UTC
The search descriptor contains property SearchType which is nowhere described in the SDK. With some test I found it has interesting functionality in SpreadSheet: SearchType = 0 : search in cell formulas SearchType = 1 : search in cell values SearchType = 2 : search in cell notes Of course these values are probably enums to be documented. I don't know if there are also values for text documents. This is already working in version 1.1.4 (possibly earlier versions).
In the same SearchDescriptor service, property SearchByRow is also not documented. Useful in Spreadsheet searches.
JSC -> NN: i am not sure if you arethe right person to fix this issue. But it seems that the mentioned properties from the SearchDescriptor was introduced in the context of a spreadsheet document. I would suggfest o docuemnt them as optional properties withthe appropriate explanation. If they are spreadsheet only, we should document them at the spreadsheet specific service/interface where they are typical use in a SearchDescriptor. Ideally we would extend the Devguide as well. If you think that you are not the right person -> please back to me.
Confirming - I could not find any references to SearchDescriptor properties.
set target from 2.x to 3.x according to http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Target_3x
updated the documentation; added it in the table at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Text/Navigating#Search_and_Replace There will probably be more propteries undocumented. Possibly because Search and Replace shows different in Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw?
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
