This class would belong more appropriately within the 'user' API
(core_user) instead of within the 'core' API, since it is
directly related to user data.
Since the class has only just been added to Moodle, now is a good
time to move it.
In all cases changes have been kept to a minimum while not making
the code completely horrible. For example, there are many instances
where it would probably be better to rewrite a query entirely, but
I have not done that (in order to reduce the risk of changes).
This change considers all existing search areas in Moodle and makes
necessary changes.
Custom change to course search, supported by helper in base.php:
* course/classes/search/mycourse.php
Custom change to message search:
* message/classes/search/message_received.php
* message/classes/search/message_sent.php
Custom change to user search:
* user/classes/search/user.php
Custom changes to module areas, supported by helper in base_mod.php:
* mod/book/classes/search/chapter.php
* mod/data/classes/search/entry.php
* mod/forum/classes/search/post.php
* mod/glossary/classes/search/entry.php
* mod/survey/classes/search/activity.php
* mod/wiki/classes/search/collaborative_page.php
(Note: the unit tests do not exhaustively check every context type
for these, given that's mainly handled by the helper function
which was already tested in the base_activity test.)
Handled by block base class (no change):
* blocks/html/classes/search/content.php

Increase the scope of the files that are detected and
indexed by Moodle's Global Search. This includes intro
and content areas of search areas. The use case here is
in a description for an activity there is a file added
that contains more information about the activity.
It would an advantage to be able to search this content
as well. It would also allow search engine plugins to be
able to index non text files such as images.
