Indexing query strings in URLS produces inconsistent results in PG and
pollutes the search data for really little gain.
The following seems to work as expected...
```
discourse_development=# SELECT TO_TSVECTOR('https://www.discourse.org?test=2&test2=3');
to_tsvector
------------------------------------------------------
'2':3 '3':5 'test':2 'test2':4 'www.discourse.org':1
```
However, once a path is present
```
discourse_development=# SELECT TO_TSVECTOR('https://www.discourse.org/latest?test=2&test2=3');
to_tsvector
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'/latest?test=2&test2=3':3 'www.discourse.org':2 'www.discourse.org/latest?test=2&test2=3':1
```
The lexeme contains both the path and the query string.
Previously, we would only take either the `MIN` or `MAX` for
`post_number` during aggregation meaning that the ranking is not
considered.

In 91c89df6, I fixed the onebox to support local topics with a slug-less URL.
This commit fixes all the other spots (search, topic links and user badges) where we look up for a local topic.
Follow-up-to: 91c89df6
The logic of adding additional search results does not seem to be
needed anymore.
It appears to be a relic of an old implementation.
This saves an entire search query for every search made.
PG already handles English stop words, the list in cppjieba is
bigger than the list PG uses, which in turn causes confusion cause
words such as "volume" are stripped using cppijieba stop word list
We will follow up with another commit here to apply the Chinese
word stopwords, but for now to eliminate the confusion we are
skipping applying the stopword list when the dictionary in PG is
in English.
This introduces new APIs for obtaining optimized thumbnails for topics. There are a few building blocks required for this:
- Introduces new `image_upload_id` columns on the `posts` and `topics` table. This replaces the old `image_url` column, which means that thumbnails are now restricted to uploads. Hotlinked thumbnails are no longer possible. In normal use (with pull_hotlinked_images enabled), this has no noticeable impact
- A migration attempts to match existing urls to upload records. If a match cannot be found then the posts will be queued for rebake
- Optimized thumbnails are generated during post_process_cooked. If thumbnails are missing when serializing a topic list, then a sidekiq job is queued
- Topic lists and topics now include a `thumbnails` key, which includes all the available images:
```
"thumbnails": [
{
"max_width": null,
"max_height": null,
"url": "//example.com/original-image.png",
"width": 1380,
"height": 1840
},
{
"max_width": 1024,
"max_height": 1024,
"url": "//example.com/optimized-image.png",
"width": 768,
"height": 1024
}
]
```
- Themes can request additional thumbnail sizes by using a modifier in their `about.json` file:
```
"modifiers": {
"topic_thumbnail_sizes": [
[200, 200],
[800, 800]
],
...
```
Remember that these are generated asynchronously, so your theme should include logic to fallback to other available thumbnails if your requested size has not yet been generated
- Two new raw plugin outlets are introduced, to improve the customisability of the topic list. `topic-list-before-columns` and `topic-list-before-link`
The main thrust of this PR is to take all the conditional checks based on the `enable_bookmarks_with_reminders` away and only keep the code from the `true` path, making bookmarks with reminders the core bookmarks feature. There is also a migration to create `Bookmark` records out of `PostAction` bookmarks for a site.
### Summary
* Remove logic based on whether enable_bookmarks_with_reminders is true. This site setting is now obsolete, the old bookmark functionality is being removed. Retain the setting and set the value to `true` in a migration.
* Use the code from the rake task to create a database migration that creates bookmarks from post actions.
* Change the bookmark report to read from the new table.
* Get rid of old endpoints for bookmarks
* Link to the new bookmarks list from the user summary page
* Count user summary bookmarks from new Bookmark table if bookmarks with reminders enabled
* Update topic user bookmarked column when new topic bookmark changed
* Make in:bookmarks search work with new bookmarks
* Fix batch inserts for bookmark rake task (and thus migration). We were only inserting one bookmark at a time, completely defeating the purpose of batching!
Previous to this change slugs for leaves in 3 level nestings would not work
Our UX picks only the last two levels
This also makes the results consistent for slugs as it enforces order.
The new search modifier `in:all` can be used to include both public and personal messages in the same search.

Discourse.cache is a more consistent method to use and offers clean fallback
if you are skipping redis
This is part of a larger change that both optimizes Discoruse.cache and omits
use of setex on $redis in favor of consistently using discourse cache
Bench does reveal that use of Rails.cache and Discourse.cache is 1.25x slower
than redis.setex / get so a re-implementation will follow prior to porting
* When viewing a tag, the search widget will now show a checkbox to scope the search by tag, which will limit search results to that tag on desktop and mobile
Doing .pluck(:column).first is a very common pattern in Discourse and in
most cases, a limit cause isn't being added. Instead of adding a limit
clause to all these callsites, this commit adds two new methods to
ActiveRecord::Relation:
pluck_first, equivalent to limit(1).pluck(*columns).first
and pluck_first! which, like other finder methods, raises an exception
when no record is found
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
* FEATURE: Add search operator to see all direct messages from a user
* Only show message if related messages >= 5
* Make "all messages" the hyperlink
* Review
If `SiteSetting.log_search_queries` is enabled 500 errors will occur
when searching if the master db is down. This fix allows searching to
still work under these conditions.
The behaviour of #TERM in search has been amended
1. We try category or subcategory slugs
2. We try tags
3. We try tag-groups
The term `hello #my-group` will search for all posts tagged with any of
the tags in the tag group `My Group`
Future work may be introducing a slug cache here or caching it in the table
but the assumption is that the number of tag groups will not be huge
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
The default ranking options ranks by the number of matches which is
highly problematic when posts are stuffed with a keyword. The ranking
will now be divided by the document length which is a much fairer way to
rank.
Previously with had `in:title` and `in:first` search shortcuts for
searching in first post or title only. They are a bit of handful to type.
This add 2 shortcuts (t and f) for searching titles of first posts.
This commit also cleans up all advanced filters, they were not properly
regex terminated allowing for weird clauses like `in:firstinator` acting
the same as `in:first`
4481836 introduced accent stipping in search_indexer,
but we need to strip it from the query itself as well
TODO in search with diacritics:
- Still need to fix excerpts on search page
- need to support accent stripping in in_topic search
- need to make sure that in:title works correctly
- need to fix "word boldening" in titles
- By default, behaviour is not changed: tags are made lowercase upon creation and edit.
- If force_lowercase_tags is disabled, then mixed case tags are allowed.
- Tags must remain case-insensitively unique. This is enforced by ActiveRecord and Postgres.
- A migration is added to provide a `UNIQUE` index on `lower(name)`. Migration includes a safety to correct any current tags that do not meet the criteria.
- A `where_name` scope is added to `models/tag.rb`, to allow easy case-insensitive lookups. This is used instead of `Tag.where(name: "blah")`.
- URLs remain lowercase. Mixed case URLs are functional, but have the lowercase equivalent as the canonical.
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder
See more at: https://github.com/discourse/mini_sql
Also
- Significantly improved search ranking, title is treated most strongly
- Adds tag names to the index
- Run search re-indexer more aggressively
- Re-index topic and all posts on category change
On very large forums searching posts can be slow, so this commit
introduces the ability to try and search only the most recent posts
first, and then going for a larger breadth search if there aren't
enough results.
Enable `search_prefer_recent_posts` and you can customize how many
recent posts to filter with `search_recent_posts_size`
