SearchOperationBase

SearchOperationBase is the common base class for operations shown on the right side of Fluent Search.

Typical namespace: Blast.Core.Results

Operations are attached to results via ISearchResult.SupportedOperations.

Common properties

• OperationName: label shown to the user.
• Description: operation help text.
• IconGlyph: operation icon.
• HideMainWindow: whether Fluent Search should hide when the op runs.
• KeyGesture: optional shortcut for the operation.

KeyGesture is commonly an Avalonia type (Avalonia.Input.KeyGesture).

Built-in operations

Blast.API ships built-in operations that many plugins reuse:

• Copy operations (for example copying text/url to clipboard)
• Paste/self-run variants (used by some plugins to run immediately)

Tip: Reuse operation instances (store them as fields/static properties) to avoid allocations.

Example: custom operation

public sealed class OpenWebsiteOperation : SearchOperationBase
{
	public OpenWebsiteOperation() : base(
		operationName: "Open website",
		description: "Opens the website in your default browser",
		icon: "\uE71B")
	{
		HideMainWindow = true;
	}
}

In ISearchApplication.HandleSearchResult, you typically dispatch by result.SelectedOperation type and then perform the action.
