Interface: ExternalSearchQuery

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/plugin.interface.ts:1287

Search query parameters for external eprint sources.

Remarks

Used by SearchablePlugin implementations to query external APIs on demand. Supports author name, title, DOI, and source-specific IDs.

Distinct from SearchQuery in search.interface.ts which is for internal Elasticsearch queries.

Since

0.1.0

Properties

author?

readonly optional author: string

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/plugin.interface.ts:1295

Author name to search for.

Remarks

Matches against author names in the external source. The matching algorithm is source-specific.

---

authorProfileIds?

readonly optional authorProfileIds: Readonly<Record<string, string>>

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/plugin.interface.ts:1336

Source-specific author profile ID for direct author lookup.

Remarks

When provided, plugins that support profile-based search (e.g., OpenReview) can use this to fetch papers directly by author ID instead of text search. Keys are source names, values are profile IDs.

Example

{ openreview: "~Aaron_Steven_White1", arxiv: "white_a_1" }
