Omni Search Dev Harness

I have created a small test harness for a basic Omni Search box, it is not complete as it's a simple test harness to get the concept essentiall "down on paper".

To Run

 $ npm run start

It should be available in the browser at http://localhost:4200/

The options are specified in JSON contained within the src/app/app.component.ts file.

The JSON is structured as an array of SearchFragments:

[
  {
    "mode" : {
      "title" : "Project",
      "accepted" : ".+",
      "output" : "Project title {{$modifier}} {{$value}}",
      "hint" : "Project title"
    },
    "modifiers" : [
      {
        "title" : "Is",
        "accepted" : "is",
        "output" : "IS",
        "hint" : "Is Operator"
      },
      {
        "title" : "Isn't",
        "accepted" : "isn't",
        "output" : "IS NOT",
        "hint" : "Is Not Operator"
      },
      {
        "title" : "Contains",
        "accepted" : "contains",
        "output" : "CONTAINS",
        "hint" : "Contains Operator"
      }
    ]

  },
]

Each fragment contains a single mode, which details what the mode should be. As for modifiers, that is an array so it can hold as many as required.

If you look in src/app/app.component.ts, there is a commented out entry, if that is uncommented, it should add a fourth entry with four modifiers.

Code wise, it is fairly simple, not much error checking or even testing as it's a simple harness to get a concept working.

Taking it forward

If work were to continue with it, it would definitely need to be refined to look like the proper search bar.

I would like to make the Omni Bar items be removable by clicking a cross button or something.

The output for each item was planned to be a pseudo SQL like structure, but it really needs refinement, and probably multiple parts to make a coherent sql query.

It also needs testing, which this has none of.
