<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
|
<p>This specification documents a protocol currently used to search information repositories on the Jabber network. To date, the jabber:iq:search protocol has been used mainly to search for people who have registered with user directories (e.g., the "Jabber User Directory" hosted at users.jabber.org). However, the jabber:iq:search protocol is not limited to user directories, and could be used to search other Jabber information repositories (such as chatroom directories) or even to provide a Jabber interface to conventional search engines.</p>
|
|
<p>The basic functionality is to query an information repository regarding the possible search fields, to send a search query, and to receive search results. Note well that there is currently no mechanism for paging through results or limiting the number of "hits", and that the allowable search fields are limited to those defined in the XML schema; however, extensibility MAY be provided via the &xep0004; protocol, as described below.</p>

<section2 topic="Searching" anchor='usecases-search'>
|
|
<p>In order to search an information respository, a user first needs to discover what search fields are supported by the service:</p>
|
|
<example caption="Requesting Search Fields"><![CDATA[
|
|
<iq type='get'

|
|
xml:lang='en'>
|
|
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:search'/>
|
|
</iq>
|
|
]]></example>
|
|
<p>The service MUST then return the possible search fields to the user, and MAY include instructions:</p>
|
|
<example caption="Receiving Search Fields"><![CDATA[

|
|
<p>The user MAY then submit a search request, specifying values for any desired fields:</p>

|
|
<p>The fields defined in the 'jabber:iq:search' namespace are strictly limited to those specified in the schema. If a host needs to gather additional information, <strong>Data Forms</strong> SHOULD be used; a host MUST NOT add new fields to the 'jabber:iq:search' namespace. Support for extensibility via <strong>Data Forms</strong> is RECOMMENDED, but is not required for compliance with this document.</p>
|
|
<p>The extensibility mechanism for searching makes use of a hidden FORM_TYPE field for the purpose of standardizing field names within the form, as defined in &xep0068;. Implementations supporting this extensibility mechanism SHOULD support field standardization as well.</p>
