History of SearchPackage

{maketoc}
This package makes any content on your site searchable. Well - not ''ANY'' content. Currently, wiki pages, blog headers and entries, articles and comments.

!Random Indexing
The indexing engine in Bitweaver would, every so-many clicks, would pick a random piece of content and index it. (This number of clicks is the "Search Refresh Rate" in administration->search->search settings). This tactic, I presume, is designed to limit index table additions, and prevent the overloading of the server or database engine.

The issue with "random" indexing is that when you submit an article, or wiki page - that page wouldn't necessarily ever get in the index. It is based on chance. If your site had enough traffic, the page would eventually get picked up. For smaller sites, however, this technique fails to deliver expected results - namely, submitted contet should get indexed and be findable using search.

!Index On Submit
There is now In CVS (after the 1.2.1 release) an additional indexing option called "Index On Submit". This causes content to be indexed immediately after it is created (except articles that require approval. That content is indexed only after approval).

!Indexing Functions
You can now delete or rebuild indexes for the whole site - or just a particular type of tiki content. you can also clear out the searchwords and syllables (words and partial words entered into search).

After installing the new search module, you will have to do a reindex at least once on your site to get everything in there. This hasn't been tested yet on a large data set - so beware, and backup.

!Remaining Issues
Remaining issues that need to be tackled:
*Fix pagination of results
*Fix the "find part" portion of search
*Allow Stop Words
*Allow search to search more than articles, blog posts, wiki pages and comments
**phpbb
**generic tiki content
*Make the search cache work
*Make search into a Bitweaver "service"
