So we need to make sure Hit Ids are sequential form zero then? feels like a hack especially as the wiki page says: http://xesam.org/main/XesamSearchAPI "GetHitData (in s search, in au hit_ids, in as fields, out aav hit_data) Get renewed or additional hit metadata. Primarily intended for snippets or modified hits " also its grossly inconvienient for doing large pages eg 101-200 - I would have to list 100 numbers in one big array !!!! seriously add a Paged/Ranged that works like GetHitData and make it sane! jamie _______________________________________________ Xesam mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xesam
