Method
EDataBookBookMetaBackendsearch_sync
since: 3.26
Declaration [src]
gboolean
e_book_meta_backend_search_sync (
EBookMetaBackend* meta_backend,
const gchar* expr,
gboolean meta_contact,
GSList** out_contacts,
GCancellable* cancellable,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
Searches meta_backend with given expression expr and returns
found contacts as a GSList of EContact out_contacts.
Free the returned out_contacts with g_slist_free_full (contacts, g_object_unref);
when no longer needed.
When the expr is NULL, all objects are returned. To get
UID-s instead, call e_book_meta_backend_search_uids_sync().
It is optional to implement this virtual method by the descendant.
The default implementation searches meta_backend‘s cache. It’s also
not required to be online for searching, thus meta_backend doesn’t
ensure it.
