module Ultrasphinx
=begin rdoc
Command-interface Search object.
== Basic usage
To set up a search, instantiate an Ultrasphinx::Search object with a hash of parameters. Only the :query key is mandatory.
@search = Ultrasphinx::Search.new(
:query => @query,
:sort_mode => 'descending',
:sort_by => 'created_at'
)
Now, to run the query, call its run method. Your results will be available as ActiveRecord instances via the results method. Example:
@search.run
@search.results
= Options
== Query format
The query string supports boolean operation, parentheses, phrases, and field-specific search. Query words are stemmed and joined by an implicit AND by default.
* Valid boolean operators are AND, OR, and NOT.
* Field-specific searches should be formatted as fieldname:contents. (This will only work for text fields. For numeric and date fields, see the :filters parameter, below.)
* Phrases must be enclosed in double quotes.
A Sphinx::SphinxInternalError will be raised on invalid queries. In general, queries can only be nested to one level.
@query = 'dog OR cat OR "white tigers" NOT (lions OR bears) AND title:animals'
== Hash parameters
The hash lets you customize internal aspects of the search.
:per_page:: An integer. How many results per page.
:page:: An integer. Which page of the results to return.
:class_names:: An array or string. The class name of the model you want to search, an array of model names to search, or nil for all available models.
:sort_mode:: 'relevance' or 'ascending' or 'descending'. How to order the result set. Note that 'time' and 'extended' modes are available, but not tested.
:sort_by:: A field name. What field to order by for 'ascending' or 'descending' mode. Has no effect for 'relevance'.
:weights:: A hash. Text-field names and associated query weighting. The default weight for every field is 1.0. Example: :weights => {'title' => 2.0}
:filters:: A hash. Names of numeric or date fields and associated values. You can use a single value, an array of values, or a range. (See the bottom of the ActiveRecord::Base page for an example.)
:facets:: An array of fields for grouping/faceting. You can access the returned facet values and their result counts with the facets method.
:location:: A hash. Specify the names of your latititude and longitude attributes as declared in your is_indexed calls. To sort the results by distance, set :sort_mode => 'extended' and :sort_by => 'distance asc'.
:indexes:: An array of indexes to search. Currently only Ultrasphinx::MAIN_INDEX and Ultrasphinx::DELTA_INDEX are available. Defaults to both; changing this is rarely needed.
== Query Defaults
Note that you can set up your own query defaults in environment.rb:
self.class.query_defaults = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new({
:per_page => 10,
:sort_mode => 'relevance',
:weights => {'title' => 2.0}
})
= Advanced features
== Geographic distance
If you pass a :location Hash, distance from the location in meters will be available in your result records via the distance accessor:
@search = Ultrasphinx::Search.new(:class_names => 'Point',
:query => 'pizza',
:sort_mode => 'extended',
:sort_by => 'distance',
:location => {
:lat => 40.3,
:long => -73.6
})
@search.run.first.distance #=> 1402.4
Note that Sphinx expects lat/long to be indexed as radians. If you have degrees in your database, do the conversion in the is_indexed as so:
is_indexed 'fields' => [
'name',
'description',
{:field => 'lat', :function_sql => "RADIANS(?)"},
{:field => 'lng', :function_sql => "RADIANS(?)"}
]
Then, set Ultrasphinx::Search.client_options[:location][:units] = 'degrees'.
The MySQL :double column type is recommended for storing location data. For Postgres, use :floatfind_all_by_id method to instantiate records. If you set with_finders: true in {Interlock's}[http://blog.evanweaver.com/files/doc/fauna/interlock] config/memcached.yml, Interlock overrides find_all_by_id with a caching version.
== Will_paginate integration
The Search instance responds to the same methods as a WillPaginate::Collection object, so once you have called run or excerpt you can use it directly in your views:
will_paginate(@search)
== Excerpt mode
You can have Sphinx excerpt and highlight the matched sections in the associated fields. Instead of calling run, call excerpt.
@search.excerpt
The returned models will be frozen and have their field contents temporarily changed to the excerpted and highlighted results.
You need to set the content_methods key on Ultrasphinx::Search.excerpting_options to whatever groups of methods you need the excerpter to try to excerpt. The first responding method in each group for each record will be excerpted. This way Ruby-only methods are supported (for example, a metadata method which combines various model fields, or an aliased field so that the original record contents are still available).
There are some other keys you can set, such as excerpt size, HTML tags to highlight with, and number of words on either side of each excerpt chunk. Example (in environment.rb):
Ultrasphinx::Search.excerpting_options = HashWithIndifferentAccess.new({
:before_match => '',
:after_match => '',
:chunk_separator => "...",
:limit => 256,
:around => 3,
:content_methods => [['title'], ['body', 'description', 'content'], ['metadata']]
})
Note that your database is never changed by anything Ultrasphinx does.
