Stopping prematurely the SearchEngine [message #258895]

Hello,

I'm wondering if it is possible to stop the SearchEngine if it appears clear that the number of results will be too big.
Maybe by throwing an exception from the result collector, or something like that ?

Thanks in advance,

What SearchEngine API method do you use?

Most of SearchEngine API methods accept an IProgressMonitor.
That means you should be able to cancel the search operation by calling
setCanceled(true) on the given monitor...
