Constants

 This object represents the global options for executing a query.


 You can ask for the results to be pre-sorted. Since the DB has indices
 of many items, it can produce sorted results almost for free. These should
 be self-explanatory.

 Note: re-sorting is slower, as is sorting by title or when you have a
 host name.

 For bookmark items, SORT_BY_NONE means sort by the natural bookmark order.

 "URI" results, one for each URI visited in the range. Individual result
 nodes will be of type "URI".

const unsigned short RESULTS_AS_URI = 0

 "Visit" results, with one for each time a page was visited (this will
 often give you multiple results for one URI). Individual result nodes will
 have type "Visit"

const unsigned short RESULTS_AS_VISIT = 1

 This is identical to RESULT_TYPE_VISIT except that individual result nodes
 will have type "FullVisit".  This is used for the attributes that are not
 commonly accessed to save space in the common case (the lists can be very
 long).

const unsigned short RESULTS_AS_FULL_VISIT = 2

 This returns query nodes for each predefined date range where we 
 had visits. The node contains information how to load its content:
 - visits for the given date range will be loaded.

const unsigned short RESULTS_AS_DATE_QUERY = 3

 This returns nsINavHistoryQueryResultNode nodes for each site where we 
 have visits. The node contains information how to load its content:
 - last visit for each url in the given host will be loaded.

const unsigned short RESULTS_AS_SITE_QUERY = 4

 This returns nsINavHistoryQueryResultNode nodes for each day where we 
 have visits. The node contains information how to load its content:
 - list of hosts visited in the given period will be loaded.

const unsigned short RESULTS_AS_DATE_SITE_QUERY = 5

 This returns nsINavHistoryQueryResultNode nodes for each tag.
 The node contains information how to load its content:
 - list of bookmarks with the given tag will be loaded.
 Setting this resultType will force queryType to QUERY_TYPE_BOOKMARKS.

const unsigned short RESULTS_AS_TAG_QUERY = 6

 This is a container with an URI result type that contains the last
 modified bookmarks for the given tag.
 Tag folder id must be defined in the query.
 Setting this resultType will force queryType to QUERY_TYPE_BOOKMARKS.

const unsigned short RESULTS_AS_TAG_CONTENTS = 7

const unsigned short QUERY_TYPE_HISTORY = 0

const unsigned short QUERY_TYPE_BOOKMARKS = 1

const unsigned short QUERY_TYPE_UNIFIED = 2

Attributes

 This option excludes items from a bookmarks query
 if the parent of the item has this annotation.
 An example is to exclude livemark items
 (parent folders have the "livemark/feedURI" annotation)
 Ignored for queries over history.

attribute AUTF8String excludeItemIfParentHasAnnotation

 This option excludes all URIs and separators from a bookmarks query.
 This would be used if you just wanted a list of bookmark folders and
 queries (such as the left pane of the places page).
 Defaults to false.

attribute boolean excludeItems

 Set to true to exclude queries ("place:" URIs) from the query results.
 Simple folder queries (bookmark folder symlinks) will still be included.
 Defaults to false.

attribute boolean excludeQueries

 Set to true to exclude read-only folders from the query results. This is
 designed for cases where you want to give the user the option of filing
 something into a list of folders. It only affects cases where the actual
 folder result node would appear in its parent folder and filters it out.
 It doesn't affect the query at all, and doesn't affect more complex
 queries (such as "folders with annotation X").

attribute boolean excludeReadOnlyFolders

 When set, allows items with "place:" URIs to appear as containers,
 with the container's contents filled in from the stored query.
 If not set, these will appear as normal items. Doesn't do anything if
 excludeQueries is set. Defaults to false.

 Note that this has no effect on folder links, which are place: URIs
 returned by nsINavBookmarkService.GetFolderURI. These are always expanded
 and will appear as bookmark folders.

attribute boolean expandQueries

 Most items in history are marked "hidden." Only toplevel pages that the
 user sees in the URL bar are not hidden. Hidden things include the content
 of iframes and all images on web pages. Normally, you don't want these
 things. If you do, set this flag and you'll get all items, even hidden
 ones. Does nothing for bookmark queries. Defaults to false.

attribute boolean includeHidden

 This is the maximum number of results that you want. The query is exeucted,
 the results are sorted, and then the top 'maxResults' results are taken
 and returned. Set to 0 (the default) to get all results.

 THIS DOES NOT WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH SORTING BY TITLE. This is because
 sorting by title requires us to sort after using locale-sensetive sorting
 (as opposed to letting the database do it for us).

 Instead, we get the result ordered by date, pick the maxResult most recent
 ones, and THEN sort by title.

attribute unsigned long maxResults

 The type of search to use when querying the DB; This attribute is only
 honored by query nodes. It is silently ignored for simple folder queries.

attribute unsigned short queryType

 Sets the result type. One of RESULT_TYPE_* which includes how URIs are
 represented.

attribute unsigned short resultType

 Separate/group history items based on session information.  Only
 matters when sorting by date.

attribute boolean showSessions

 The annotation to use in SORT_BY_ANNOTATION_* sorting modes.

attribute AUTF8String sortingAnnotation

 The sorting mode to be used for this query.
 mode is one of SORT_BY_*

attribute unsigned short sortingMode

Methods

 Creates a new options item with the same parameters of this one.
