Search Directory Services

1 March 2019

  • C10 - added the optional flags, search, price and area parameters for land searches and require the page parameter for land searches.

4 February 2015

  • Release 7.62 - The directorysearch now returns the full list of matches based on the supplied criteria - the old behavior is that only the first most relevant (based on a scoring system) match would be returned. This means that the directorysearch command can now be used to return a list of matches instead of a single match. The results are still sorted in the order of relevant with most relevant being returned first. Since the results can now be rather large depending on the search criteria, it is recommended to use sifting to return only partial results.
  • Release 7.62 - The timeout parameter is no longer used.

Parameter Possible Values Description
type classified, event, group, land, people, places The directory search type.

The results can be filtered using the optional data parameter which follows the libopenmetaverse data structures of each search type. In order to do so, supply a CSV list to the data parameter containing pairs of fields or properties and the desired value.

Notes

  • When searching for land (typeland) on the SecondLife grid, the data server returns results zero-indexed by the page parameter (ie: page0 will return the first batch of results, page1 returns the second batch of results, etc…). Note that land searches in SecondLife are throttled as $1$ search per $5$ seconds. It is up to the user to ensure that searches are not performed more often than the official throttle.
  • Flags are passed as a CSV list, for instance, the following call will retrieve land parcels, sort them in ascending order, limited by area, including all maturity ratings larger than $4096m^{2}$ and just on the main land:
llInstantMessage(CORRADE,
    wasKeyValueEncode(
        [
            "command", "directorysearch",
            "group", wasURLEscape(GROUP),
            "password", wasURLEscape(PASSWORD),
            "type", "land",
            "flags", wasListToCSV(
                [
                    "SortAsc",
                    "PerMeterSort",
                    "LimitByArea",
                    "IncludePG",
                    "IncludeMature",
                    "IncludeAdult"
                ]
            ),
            "page", 2,
            "area", "4096",
            "search", wasListToCSV(
                [
                    "Mainland"
                ]
            ),
            "timeout", 600000,
            "callback", wasURLEscape(URL)
        ]
    )
);
  • In case the command is sent without a data parameter, then the whole structure is returned. To ensure that the stride of the returned CSV list is know before issuing the command, make sure that a data parameter is sent along with the command.
  • In case land is searched, this command will not return the location of any found parcel (either region identifiers or global positions). However, if the location is needed, then the parcel UUID can be fed further to the getparcelinfodata command.
1)
The name parameter is optional for classified and event search type but required for all other search types.
