New Search Engine
« on: Wed, 10 July 2013, 14:32:33 »
GeekHack is far too large for SMF's normal search indexer to cope with.  This problem has been on my back burner for a while.  We now have Sphinx up and running, which is not only much faster but should produce results with greater quality.  For example, you can use search terms with less than 3 characters.

Let me know if there are any issues.

Assuming it is accessed from the search field in the upper right corner of the main page, I searched for "model m keycaps" (without quotes) and got this error:

Each word must be at least two characters long.

Ok, so I searched for: "model m" keycaps

(quotes around "model m", no quote around keycaps, thinking that it might search for posts containing those two phrases, but ...

in theory, the query "model m" AND keycaps should work.

the query language documentation is here: http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#searching

however, to get this working, rknize had to rip out the smf search engine and glue in the sphinx backend, so consider this still to be a beta feature. however, the changeover to sphinx has been planned for a long time (a year, basically), so this is not in any way experimental. report bugs to the massive bug report thread (rknize has a possible method for that madness in the works as well, by the way).

I have it setup for extended syntax:

http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#extended-syntax

It seems like the phrase operator (quotes) don't work as expected.  I'll look into this.  Perhaps SMF is stripping the quotes.

Hmmm the syntax is similar to a combination of Concordance, dtSearch, and Lucene if anyone has worked in the legal industry like i do.
