On the complete method ...
The complete method has to be "inherently ambiguous" simply because the data is inherently ambiguous. Nothing prevents 2 projects (or 10 projects for that matter) from having identical names, so there can, alas, be no simple mapping of a name string onto a unique id.
You just have to remove the
maximum matches parameter, see how many matches you have got in your data, and handle the harvest iteratively in the way that makes sense for your application.
Code:
tell application "OmniFocus"
tell front document
set lstMatches to complete strPattern as project
set lngMatches to length of lstMatches
if (lngMatches) > 1 then
-- deal with the multiple matches ...
repeat with recMatch in lstMatches
set {_, lngScore, strID, strName} to recMatch as list
-- handle each match here ...
end repeat
else if lngMatches > 0 then
-- good ! you have a unique match !
else
-- sorry ! no matches at all !
end if
end tell
end tell
