Package hudson.search

Class SearchFactory

java.lang.Object

hudson.search.SearchFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtensionPoint

public abstract class SearchFactory
extends Object
implements ExtensionPoint

Creates a Search instance for a SearchableModelObject.

This allows you to plug in different backends to the search, such as full-text search, or more intelligent user-sensitive search, etc. Puts @Extension annotation on your implementation to have it registered.

Right now, there's no user control over which SearchFactory takes priority, but we may do so later.

Since:

1.469

Method Details

createFor

public abstract Search createFor(SearchableModelObject owner)

Creates a Search object. This method needs to execute quickly (without actually executing any search), since it is created per incoming HTTP response.

Parameters:

owner - The SearchableModelObject object for which we are creating the search. The returned object will provide the search for this object.

Returns:

null if your factory isn't interested in creating a Search object. The next factory will get a chance to act on it.

all

public static ExtensionList<SearchFactory> all()

Returns all the registered SearchFactory instances.
