[xwiki-dev] [vote] Missing searchDocumentsNames functionality

[Ludovic Dubost]

I think we need to make a more complete review of the current search APIs.

There are some security issues with sending column data in the search 
results.
searchDocumentNames is an API sending back non sensitive data (only the 
document names).
I believe it should be a different API sending more complex results.

I think also which should add a parameter to filter search results 
according to viewer rights.

Also the HQL search API should start to be depreciated since we now have 
the QueryPlugin API based on XQuery. However I've seen that the XQuery 
api does not have the full capabilities of the HQL API so our API will 
need to have a way to call the storage specific search API.

So maybe te right way to do it is to keep the current API for 
compatibility and put the new APIs on the QueryPlugin and implement a 
clean and nice search API in the QueryPlugin, including a storage 
specific API.
