Search needs a way to return generic meta data. Like the formatted search parameter $formfield() but for generic meta data...$meta() perhaps?
As an example, I use the
WorkflowPlugin which generates meta data that looks like:
META:WORKFLOW{name="FORAPPROVAL" LASTTIME_FORAPPROVAL="19 Feb 2009 - 16:33"}
I search it with the following:
"%SEARCH{"META:WORKFLOW.name!='RELEASED' type="query" format="| [[$topic]] | $formfield(Requestedby) | $formfield(DateRequested) | $formfield(DescriptionofChange) |"}%
I'd like an easy way to pull out the value of META:WORKFLOW.name in the search by writing something like:
"%SEARCH{"META:WORKFLOW.name!='RELEASED' type="query" format="| [[$topic]] | $meta(WORKFLOW.name) | $formfield(Requestedby) | $formfield(DateRequested) | $formfield(DescriptionofChange) |"}%
agreed - this is sort of related to the mash of ideas that I have for
ExtractAndCentralizeFormattingRefactor, and
ResultSets etc, but I can't quickly find the other feature req - deals with adding a TOM addressing renderer

I think
CleanerSyntaxForMetaDataAccess implements this.
Dean?
