SearchApplicationInfo

SearchApplicationInfo describes your Search App to Fluent Search.

Typical namespace: Blast.Core.Objects

This object is returned from ISearchApplication.GetApplicationInfo().

Commonly used fields

Settings vary by version, but community plugins commonly set:

• MinimumSearchLength: minimum input length before searching.
• SearchTagOnly: whether the app should only run when its tag is used.
• ApplicationIconGlyph: icon glyph used in the UI.
• SearchAllTime: a hint for how “fast” the app is expected to be.
• DefaultSearchTags: a list of SearchTag values the app exposes.
• SettingsPage: optional settings UI (see Settings).
• PluginName: friendly plugin name (optional).

Depending on version, there may be additional flags controlling:

• Whether your app runs without a tag
• Performance hints / scheduling
• Process search integration

Supported operations

Search apps typically declare a list of supported operations and reuse instances rather than constructing new ones for every result.

Example pattern

private readonly List<ISearchOperation> _ops = new()
{
	new CopySearchOperation("Copy"),
	new MyOpenUrlOperation()
};

_info = new SearchApplicationInfo("MyApp", "Description", _ops)
{
	MinimumSearchLength = 1,
	SearchTagOnly = true,
	DefaultSearchTags = new List<SearchTag>
	{
		new() { Name = "mytag", IconGlyph = "\uE8EF" }
	}
};

The key idea: operations are part of the app contract and usually reused.
