Completion for search queries

[Christopher Bertels]

Hi,

I just came up with an idea (don't know if this has been requested
yet). What I'd really like to see is some kind of query-completion
when searching in sup. Often, when I want to search for messages, I
don't know all the supported query operators (like from:, +label:
etc.)

It would be super cool if you'd get some kind of completion (or even a
list of possible completions?) when hitting tab.

Anyone else who would like to have this feature in sup?

Cheers,
Christopher.

Sounds good to me. Probably wouldn't be too hard since we have a fairly
general tab-completion mechanism in place already.

Cool, anyone who knows how & wants to implement this? ;)

If anyone is interested, I would suggest this approach: have each index
(Ferret and Xapian) have a method that returns a list of query terms,
and then look at how BufferManager#ask_many_emails_with_completions
works, and implement something similar called ask_for_search_query or
the like. Then have bin/sup circa line 275 call that instead of #ask.
