mod_search

mod_search implements various ways of searching through the main resource table using m_search.

Configuration

There are two site configuration variables to tweak PostgreSQL text search settings.

mod_search.rank_behaviour

An integer representation to influence PostgreSQL search behaviour.

Default: 37 (1 | 4 | 32)

mod_search.rank_weight

A set of four numbers to override relative weights for the ABCD categories.

Default: {0.05, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0}

The following searches are implemented in mod_search:

Name Description Required arguments
query Very powerful search with which you can implement almost all of the other search functionality. See: Search  
facets Performs a query (see above) and then calculates facets. The facets are defined using the pivot/facet.tpl template. Facets are returned in the facets field of the search result. This shows per facet the counts for alternative values.  
subfacets Performs a query (see above) and then calculates facets. The facets are defined using the pivot/facet.tpl template. Facets are returned in the facets field of the search result. This is a drill down where the facets are counted from the matching resources in the query. That means that only facet values that are in the result set are shown.  
facet_values Returns an empty result with the facets field set to all possible values per facet, or the min/max range for a range facet.  
featured List of pages, featured ones first.  
featured List of pages in a category, featured ones first. cat
featured List of pages in a category having a certain object, featured pages first. cat, object, predicate

latest The newest pages within in a category. cat
upcoming Selects pages with future date_end.  
upcoming_on Selects pages with date_end after the given date. date
finished Selects pages with a past date_end.  
finished_on Selects pages with a date_end before the given date. date
unfinished Selects pages with a date_end in the future.

ongoing Pages with past date_start and future date_end.

media_category_image All pages with a medium and within a certain category. Used to find category images. cat
media_category_depiction All pages with a depiction edge to an image. Used to find category images. cat
media All pages with a medium, ordered by descending creation date.  
all_bytitle Return all {title,id} pairs for a category, sorted on title. cat
all_bytitle_featured Return all {title,id} pairs for a category, sorted on title, featured pages first cat
all_bytitle Return all {title,id} pairs for a category without subcategories, sorted on title. cat_is
