It should trigger creation of * QueryMatch instances through RunnerContext::addMatch and * RunnerContext::addMatches. It is called internally by performMatch(). * * If the runner can run precisely the requested term (RunnerContext::query()), * it should create an exact match by setting the type to RunnerContext::ExactMatch. * The first runner that creates a QueryMatch will be the * default runner. Other runner's matches will be suggested in the * interface. Non-exact matches should be offered via RunnerContext::PossibleMatch. * * The match will be activated via run() if the user selects it. * * Each runner is executed in its own thread. Whenever the user input changes this * method is called again. Thus, it needs to be thread-safe. Also, all matches need * to be reported once this method returns. Asyncroneous runners therefore need * to make use of a local event loop to wait for all matches. * * It is recommended to use local status data in async runners. The simplest way is * to have a separate class doing all the work like so: * * \code * void MyFancyAsyncRunner::match( RunnerContext& context ) * { * QEventLoop loop; * MyAsyncWorker worker( context ); * connect( &worker, SIGNAL(finished()), * &loop, SLOT(quit()) ); * worker.work(); * loop.exec(); * } * \endcode * * Here MyAsyncWorker creates all the matches and calls RunnerContext::addMatch * in some internal slot. It emits the finished() signal once done which will * quit the loop and make the match() method return. The local status is kept * entirely in MyAsyncWorker which makes match() trivially thread-safe. * * If a particular match supports multiple actions, set up the corresponding * actions in the actionsForMatch method. Do not call any of the action methods * within this method! * * Execution of the correct action should be handled in the run method. * @caution This method needs to be thread-safe since KRunner will simply * start a new thread for each new term. * * @warning Returning from this method means to end execution of the runner. * * @sa run(), RunnerContext::addMatch, RunnerContext::addMatches, QueryMatch */ virtual void match(Plasma::RunnerContext &context); /** * Triggers a call to match.
