__construct() : mixed
addFlashMessage() : void: Creates a Message object and adds it to the FlashMessageQueue.
formAction() : ResponseInterface: Sort options about the search form
initializeControllerArgumentsBaseValidators() : void: Collects the base validators which were defined for the data type of each controller argument and adds them to the argument's validator chain.
injectConfigurationManager() : void
injectEventDispatcher() : void
injectFileHandlingService() : void
injectHashService() : void
injectInternalExtensionService() : void

noTypoScriptAction() : ResponseInterface: TypoScript was not loaded
processRequest() : ResponseInterface: Handles an incoming request and returns a response object
searchAction() : ResponseInterface: Performs the search, the display and writing stats
throwStatus() : never: Sends the specified HTTP status immediately and only stops to run back through the middleware stack.
addBaseUriIfNecessary() : string: Adds the base uri if not already in place.
addErrorFlashMessage() : void: If an error occurred during this request, this adds a flash message describing the error to the flash message container.
addOperatorLabel() : array<string|int, mixed>: Process the search word operator to be used in e.g. locallang keys
callActionMethod() : ResponseInterface: Calls the specified action method and passes the arguments.
compileResultRows() : array<string|int, mixed>: Takes the array with resultrows as input and returns the result-HTML-code Takes the "group" var into account: Makes a "section" or "flat" display.
compileSingleResultRow() : array<string|int, mixed>: This prints a single result row, including a recursive call for subrows.
errorAction() : ResponseInterface: A special action which is called if the originally intended action could not be called, for example if the arguments were not valid.
forwardToReferringRequest() : ResponseInterface|null: If information on the request before the current request was sent, this method forwards back to the originating request. This effectively ends processing of the current request, so do not call this method before you have finished the necessary business logic!
getAllAvailableGroupOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>: get the values for the "group" selector
getAllAvailableIndexConfigurationsOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>: get the values for the "freeIndexUid" selector
getAllAvailableMediaTypesOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>: get the values for the "media type" selector
getAllAvailableNumberOfResultsOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>: get the values for the "results" selector
getAllAvailableOperandsOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>: get the values for the "defaultOperand" selector
getAllAvailableSearchTypeOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>: get the values for the "type" selector
getAllAvailableSectionsOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>: get the values for the "section" selector Here values like "rl1_" and "rl2_" + a root level 1/2 id can be added to perform searches in root level 1+2 specifically. The id-values can even be comma-separated. e.g. "rl1_1,2" would search for stuff inside pages on menu-level 1 which has the uids 1 and 2.
getAllAvailableSortDescendingOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>: get the values for the "sortDescending" selector
getAllAvailableSortOrderOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>: get the values for the "section" selector Here values like "rl1_" and "rl2_" + a root level 1/2 id can be added to perform searches in root level 1+2 specifically. The id-values can even be comma-separated. e.g. "rl1_1,2" would search for stuff inside pages on menu-level 1 which has the uids 1 and 2.
getDisplayResults() : array<string|int, mixed>: Compiles the HTML display of the incoming array of result rows.
getErrorFlashMessage() : bool|string: A template method for displaying custom error flash messages, or to display no flash message at all on errors. Override this to customize the flash message in your action controller.
getFlashMessageQueue() : FlashMessageQueue: todo: As soon as the incoming request contains the compiled plugin namespace, extbase will offer a trait to create a flash message identifier from the current request. Users then should inject the flash message service themselves if needed.

errorAction()

A special action which is called if the originally intended action could not be called, for example if the arguments were not valid.


    protected
                    errorAction() : ResponseInterface

The default implementation sets a flash message, request errors and forwards back to the originating action. This is suitable for most actions dealing with form input.

We clear the page cache by default on an error as well, as we need to make sure the data is re-evaluated when the user changes something.

Return values

ResponseInterface

forwardToReferringRequest()

If information on the request before the current request was sent, this method forwards back to the originating request. This effectively ends processing of the current request, so do not call this method before you have finished the necessary business logic!
