Label and Icon for searchResultViewPage [message #1849437]

Hello Eclipse Platform Team,
Good day.

We have implemented the searchResultViewPage that displays the results of a search.
Currently, the result view page uses the eclipse's default SearchView with the Search label and the flashlight icon.

Upon checking the documentation for the org.eclipse.search.searchResultViewPages extension point,
there are fields to change the label and icon.
Quote:

<!ELEMENT viewPage EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST viewPage
searchResultClass CDATA #REQUIRED
class CDATA #REQUIRED
id CDATA #REQUIRED
label CDATA #IMPLIED
icon CDATA #IMPLIED
helpContextId CDATA #IMPLIED>

searchResultClass - The fully qualified class name of the ISearchResult implementation this search result page supposed to show.
class - the fully qualified class name implementing this search result page. The class must implement org.eclipse.search.ui.ISearchResultPage.
id - the id, typically the same as the fully qualified class name
label - a translatable label that can be used in the search result page to list all available search result views. It is currently not used but might be in the future.
icon - an icon that can be used in the search result page in a list of all available search result views. It is currently not used but might be in the future.

However upon trying (adding the label and icon fields in the plugin.xml), our icon and label could not be seen.
It is also mentioned in the documentation that this is not yet available.

With this, it seems that there is no way to set our own label and icon for the searchResultViewPage.
Is my understanding correct?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Joseph

Hello,

The label and icon in the extension will not update the icon and label of the tab of the search view. The label can is provided with ISearchResultPage#getLabel() and show on the results page. There is no code to have an icon on the results page.

If you want to change the view, you should use the org.eclipse.ui.views extension point to make another instance of the Search View with your customizations.

Thank you for the confirmation.

This worked for me.
Since I could not extend my view from the SearchView, I just extended my view from the PageBookView and implemented the ISearchResultViewPart.

Thanks again :)
