Search

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Let's search! Sure core search is used on lots of sites, but it is no longer the only option, nor the best. This group is now open for all search discussions. Apache Solr, Search API, and more.

Faceted Search preprocess function

Hey,
I have recently setup faceted search for a project. I also use Top Searches module and GMap to position search results on the map, both modules lie on Drupal core search hooks. Does Faceted Search fires this hooks (ex. hook_search_result() ?) I can't seem to find any documentation about this, and expected behaviours.

Thanks,
Gabriel

Search without keywords

I want the search function on the site I am building to search just for a conten type or just in a taxonomy - but the function complains that I do not have any keywords - which is true - but is there a way to use the advanced search and not have to write in any keywords?

Introducing Search Lucene API 2.0

My name is Chris Pliakas, and I am the author of the Search Lucene API module. Although the project has been around for a little while, 2.0 development is coming to a close and I think it is the appropriate time to make the Drupal community aware of it's existence.

?>

<div class='search_inline'>
    <?=$block['content']?>

Optimizing Apachesolr for non-english languages

I have had a lot of research about optimizing Apachesolr for non-english languages, especially for German. It comes out, that there search results can be dramatically improved by adjusting Solr's stemming and by breaking up compound words. This can be easily achieved with slight changes to Apachesolr's schema.xml.

This post is about configuring stemming:

And this post is about compound word splitting, that is needed in languages like German that have long combined words like "Dampfschifffahrt":

Critical 7.x Search Issues, now is the season

It's not yet too late, but it's close. I think that we can still get all of these in, if we can get them to RTBC soon. Please help. Some of these are critical and will hold up the 7.x release, but the multilingual and usability issues have a limited time left after which they'll need to wait for 8.x.

Apachesolr and Stemming in other languages

When i perform searches for tools and for tool with Apachesolr, i get the same results. As far as i know, the reason is Apachesolr's stemmer, that reduces the word tools to tool and uses it for the search within the index. As far as i know, the stemmer is only aware of English stemming rules.

So how are things going, when using Apachesolr with different languages? For example, i tried the German word Kunden (plural of clients) and Kunde (singular of client) and i get different result sets. -- Obviously, the stemmer doesn't know the German stemming rules ... right?

How can the search results be improved for languages different from English? Are there German stemmers available to plug into Apachesolr?

Ok, thats what i am trying to do:

We have a hugh list of adresses, without using taxonomy for countries and cities. Now i want to build a facet search with the abillity to search this by building the whole search step by step and only with a result at the end of the last step.

For example:
A user clicks on "germany" -> The next thing should be that a list of all cities in germany appear and not the whole result list of germany.
Then the user clicks on "munich" -> Now the results can appear.

Better example:

First he selects the country: germany

RDF for Solr: Possible improvements

The Apache Solr RDF module is now in a state, where it can already, theoretically, be used. However, there is much room for improvement, so I'd like to discuss some possible ways to do this.

Search that learns

Hello everyone,
I'm not entirely sure this is the place to post this, but I'm starting here. Feel free to redirect me if necessary.

I'm tasked with using Drupal to build a site that has a "memory" and can help suggest new nodes for you based on your previous node-viewing habits.

Think of it as 2 things:
1) An amazon.com-esque function that says "Hey, I noticed you have 11 page-views on the Drupal Semantic Search Node, have you considered checking out Apache Solr?"

Chat Module

Hi Guys,

Can anyone recommend me a good chat solution for Drupal 6. I am trying to evaluate different solutions like DimDim, 123FlashChat Server, avchat(avchat.com)..

Has anyone used any of these solutions.. Will U recommend any?

I will be using this for a Learning Management solution. I would like to host online presentations, do whiteboarding, have the ability to control the time the chat sessions are on; All chat sessions will need to be stored and indexed for later retrieval. I will be using the apache solr module. That part seems to work fine.

RDF for Solr: Possible implementation strategies

(For information about my project, see here. Put shortly, it's about enabling Solr to index RDF data via drupal.)

Before starting the actual coding, even on prototypes, the basic options for implementing this will have to be discussed. At the moment, my mentors and I see the following three possibilities:

Adding RDF Support to the ApacheSolr module

Project information

Project page on drupal.org: ApacheSolr RDF Support
Student: Thomas Seidl (drunken monkey on d.o)
Mentor: Robert Douglass (robertDouglass)
Co-mentor: Stephane Corlosquet (scor)
Local mentor: Wolfgang Ziegler (fago)

Current status: Adding features

Description

This project will improve the ApacheSolr module by enabling it to handle (i.e., index and search with a comfortable UI) any kind of RDF data. This will instantly make it possible to provide meaningful searches for all site content that isn't node-centric, as well as content from anywhere else on the web. Only an RDF class description and a way to access the data would have to be provided (apart from the normal Solr requirements) and the module would automatically do the rest of the work.
