The search_ignore_accents site setting can be used to make the search
indexer remove the accents before indexing the content. The unaccent
function from PostgreSQL is better than Ruby's unicode_normalize(:nfkd).
* Chinese segmenetation will continue to rely on cppjieba
* Japanese segmentation will use our port of TinySegmenter
* Korean currently does not rely on segmentation which was dropped in c677877e4f
* SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese_japanese_korean has been split
into SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese and
SiteSetting.search_tokenize_japanese respectively
The `白名单` term becomes `名单 白名单` after it is processed by
cppjieba in :query mode. However, `白名单` is not tokenized as such by cppjieba when it
appears in a string of text. Therefore, this may lead to failed matches as
the search data generated while indexing may not contain all of the
terms generated by :query mode. We've decided to maintain parity for now
such that both indexing and querying uses the same :mix mode. This may
lead to less accurate search but our plan is to properly support CJK
search in the future.
* PERF: Remove JOIN on categories for PM search
JOIN on categories is not needed when searchin in private messages as
PMs are not categorized.
* DEV: Use == for string comparison
* PERF: Optimize query for allowed topic groups
There was a query that checked for all topics a user or their groups
were allowed to see. This used UNION between topic_allowed_users and
topic_allowed_groups which was very inefficient. That was replaced with
a OR condition that checks in either tables more efficiently.
Searching within a topic currently does not make use of PG search and
we're simply doing an `ilike` against the post raw. Furthermore,
`Post#post_number` is already unique within a topic so the other
ordering will never ever be used. This change simply makes the query
cleaner to read.
Searching in a category looked only one level down, ignoring the site
setting max_category_nesting. The user interface did not support the
third level of categories and did not display them in the "Categorized"
input of the advanced search options.
Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
When the admin creates a new custom field they can specify if that field should be searchable or not.
That setting is taken into consideration for quick search results.
Previously we used the raw data indexed to generate blurbs even for cases
when Chinese/Korean/Japanese text was used.
This caused superfluous spaces to show up in excerpts.
Prior to this change, we had weights for very_high, high, low and
very_low. This means there were 4 weights to tweak and what weights to
use for `very_high/high` and `very_low/low` pair was hard to explain.
This change makes it such that `very_high` search priority will always
ensure that the posts are ranked at the top while `very_low` search
priority will ensure that the posts are ranked at the very bottom.
You can now use `@me` to search for posts created by yourself, this is particularly handy if you have a long username.
`@me rainbow` will find all posts you created with the word rainbow.
Also cleans up test suite so it has no warnings.
After the search term is parsed for advanced search filters, the term may
become empty. Later, the same term will be passed to Discourse.route_for
which will raise an ArgumentError.
> URI(nil)
ArgumentError: bad argument (expected URI object or URI string)
* PERF: avoid lookbehinds when indexing search
Previously we used a `EmailCook.url_regexp` this regex used lookbehinds
Unfortunately certain strings could lead to pathological behavior causing
CPU to skyrocket and regex replace to take a very very long time.
EmailCook still needs a fix, but it is less urgent cause it already splits
to single lines. That said we will correct that as well in a seperate PR.
New implementation is far more naive and relies on the extra spaces search
indexer inserts.
In c6ceda8c, a bug was introduced where an admin searching for his own
private messages will actually end up searching through all private
messages on the site.
Follow-up to c6ceda8c4e
With the addition of `PostSearchData#private_message`, a partial
index consisting of only search data from regular posts can be created.
The partial index helps to speed up searches on large sites since PG
will not have to do an index scan on the entire search data index which
has shown to be a bottle neck.
The filter noops if an incorrect username is passed. This filter is not
exposed as part of the UI but is only used when an admin transitions
from a search within a user's personal messages to the full page search.
Follow-up to 4b30799054.
Note the following query being generated where the filter for a user's
private messages is executed twice.

Renamed from `private_messages` to `personal_messages` without
deprecation because the `private_messages` advanced search filter never
worked in the first place when it was implemented.
Similar to `advanced_filter` I introduced `advanced_order`.
I needed a new option because default orders are evaluated after advanced_filter so I couldn't use it.
Also, that part is a little bit more generic
```
elsif word =~ /order:\w+/
@order = word.gsub('order:', '').to_sym
nil
```
After those changes, I can use them in plugins in this way:
```
Search.advanced_order(:votes) do |posts|
posts.reorder("COALESCE((SELECT dvvc.counter FROM discourse_voting_vote_counters dvvc WHERE dvvc.topic_id = subquery.topic_id), 0) DESC")
end
```
