wet_haystack: Custom fulltext search index builder

JanDW · 2010-09-13 20:18:13

Actually… seems that smd_fuzzy_find is meant to be a backup, when <txp:article> doesn’t return any results (I have it like this on my search page). So I would still need to rely on wet_haystack for the ‘regular’ results, right?

If that’s the case, any chance that wet_haystack could work with category titles?

Correct. smd_fuzzy_find only kicks in if you mis-spell something or the regular search fails for some reason. You could always use smd_query instead if you’re feeling brave to create your own searches. Drop me a line with some indicators of what you’d like to achieve if you’d like to try this approach and want a hand.

Hi Stef. Thanks! I sent you an email.

Hello again. I’m still trying to solve this problem. I thought I’d try to figure out what wet_haystack does.

As I understand it, when checked the categories get added to the FULLTEXT index. Apparently in a normal configuration, MySQL treats a hyphen as a word-stop character.

I’ve dumped the index (myisam_ftdump textpattern 1) and “generic” and “design” are listed, but not “generic-design” so it seems that the hyphen acts as a word stop indeed.

So why does the search only provide results on “generic-design”? Am I misunderstanding the whole thing? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Anybody try this plugin in 4.3? The modal window keeps coming up after I press “save,” and only the default boxes are checked. Haven’t tested to see if this actually affects search.

Yes, me.

This is the expected behaviour. What else would you want?

It does. Trust me.

OK, I deactivated and then reactivated it, and now it’s working properly. Weird.

What it was doing was:

Open options —> Check a bunch of boxes —> Save —> Shows default (unchecked) form again.

Search gives some crazy SQL error.

instead of what it does now:

Open options —> Check a bunch of boxes —> Save —> Shows all my boxes checked.

Search works properly. Yay!

Thanks, Robert.

not sure what is happening, but for some reason the search for a custom_field is not working, and i dont get why..?

i use txp 4.2. w. haystack 0.6 & glz_custom_fields 1.2.4
but for efin sake i wont get any results on that field

any idea? or need more info?

at least i found the issue:
~~txp search on sticky articles is not any smart.~~

~~rebuilding the site structure right now, to get rid of the sticky ones.~~
~~scheisse mit der scheisse.~~

<txp:article searchsticky="1" />
niiiiiiiice.

Not sure if it is allowed to post it here, so delete me if I’m wrong but here’s a quick word of caution for those working with MLP: wet_haystack will break your search functionality when used with the MLP mod

Thanks for the report. I have added this fact to the initial post and to wet_haystack’s documentation.

Dear Informed Textpattern Prodigies,

I’m having some trouble, and I did some tests. Here’s what I found.

I have a custom field that lists names in a common citation format. When wet_haystack is active, Textpattern’s search can find articles with some names, but not others

Case A

Custom field content: John Stephens
Search query: John Stephens
Result: Search returns the articles with “John Stephens” in the custom field

Case B

Custom field content: Stephens, John
Search query: John Stephens
Result: Search does not return the articles with “Stephens, John” in the custom field

My goal is to get the search query for case B to return results where the last name is first in the custom field. Can you suggest any way I could get this to work?

Thank you!
