Parsing user queries in Baloo

[Denis Steckelmacher]

Hi,

After having read most of the source code of Baloo and its main clients 
(the search runner and Dolphin), I'm beginning to see how the whole 
thing fits.

I'm looking for a way to integrate the user query parser that I 
developed during the summer, and I currently see two places where it can 
be integrated:

* In Baloo::Query::setSearchString : if a flag is activated somewhere 
and if the backend supports Baloo::Term objects, then the search string 
can be parsed. The parsing will then set the query type (files, e-mails, 
musics, etc) and its top-level Term.
* In a new publicly-available parser that returns a Term and a type. 
This will not change the behavior of Query::setSearchString, but every 
client application that wants to use the parser will need to be modified 
to manually call Query::setTerm on the queries it constructs.

Which option do you prefer? How would you integrate the user query 
parser in Baloo?
