[Syncevolution-issues] [Bug 56142] New: PIM API: limit number of search results

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56142 Priority: medium Bug ID: 56142 CC: syncevolution-issues(a)syncevolution.org Assignee: patrick.ohly(a)intel.com Blocks: 56141 Summary: PIM API: limit number of search results Severity: enhancement Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: patrick.ohly(a)gmx.de Hardware: Other Status: ASSIGNED Version: unspecified Component: SyncEvolution Product: SyncEvolution A natural and useful extension of the API is a way to limit the number of search results. FilteredView then can stop checking more candidates, which avoids excessive CPU (and to some extend, memory) usage when many contacts match a filter. One corner case is when one of the matched contacts falls out of the result list (removed, updated): then the number of results is reduced and more candidates must be checked to reach the desired number again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
