read address from command line arguments

search for -q, --query, or --address in the command line arguments, the
next string is either an url or a street address

in case of -q or --query, use url parser for extracting address="string" from the url

paste the address to placeHeader.text and start searching

url parser modified from getAllUrlParams on www.sitepoint.com/get-url-parameters-with-javascript/

Thanks a lot for you're contribution. That's a nice addition. Tell me if you disagree with the minor changes I'm requesting.

I would have done this a bit differently, if you don't mind:
in PlaceHeader.qml, add a function:

function search(text) {
                searching = true
                resultList.model = undefined
                searchRequest(text)
}

and modify the EnterKey.onClicked handler in the PageHeader to call this function.

Then in Header.qml, add a forwarding function:

function search(text) {
  placeHeader.search(text)
}

and call it in the new startSearch() method of main you're introducing.

I modified this a bit to write the address to the search field also.

    function search(text, changeText) {
        if (changeText)
            search.text = text // address from command line

I didn't find any copyright notice from their article, but since you're citing the source, let's say it's fine.

I don't know if there is a proper way to do it...
