Options for controlling how packet searches are carried out, for example via outpack_search and outpack_packet_use_dependency. The details here are never included in the metadata alongside the query (that is, they're not part of the query even though they affect it).
outpack_search_options(
location = NULL,
allow_remote = FALSE,
pull_metadata = FALSE
)Optional vector of locations to pull from. We might in future expand this to allow wildcards, exceptions, or numeric values corresponding to the location priority (and then it's possible we'll change the name).
Logical, indicating if we should allow
packets to be found that are not currently unpacked (i.e., are
known only to a location that we have metadata from). If this is
TRUE, then inconjunction with
outpack_packet_use_dependency you might pull a large
quantity of data.
Logical, indicating if we should pull
metadata immediately before the search. If location is
given, then we will pass this through to
outpack_location_pull_metadata to filter locations to
update. If pulling many packets in sequence, you will want to
update this option to FALSE after the first pull.
An object of class outpack_search_options which should
not be modified after creation (but see note about pull_metadata)
