Folks.SimpleQuery.is_match – folks Reference Manual

# is_match

## Description:

public override uint is_match (Individual individual)

Determines whether a given Individual matches this query.

This returns a match strength, which is on an arbitrary scale which is not part of libfolks’ public API. These strengths should not be stored by user applications, or examined numerically — they should only be used for pairwise strength comparisons.

This function is intended to be used in the SearchView implementation only. Use SearchView.individuals to retrieve search results.

## Since:

0.11.0
