The document provides an introduction to enterprise search, focusing on search engines' key components: indexing and search. It explains how different data formats are indexed for accessibility and introduces Lucene and Solr as tools for handling full-text search and document management. Additionally, it covers the configuration of fields, the update and deletion of documents, and how to manage search queries and results using Solr's API.
Introduction to Search Engines
- 1. ENTERPRISE SEARCH an introduction
- 2. Web Search Desktop Search Enterprise Search
- 3. so what is a Search Engine?
- 4. a SOFTWARE that builds index on Text answers queries using that index
- 5. Any search application has two major components SEARCH component INDEXING component - of importance to us developers (read headache) - of importance to the users
- 6. data INDEX FILES is indexed user sends search query receives search results INDEXING component SEARCH component
- 7. Let’s start with INDEXING
- 8. is it easy to search here . . .
- 9. or here . . .
- 10. that’s information like garbage no structure comes in all kinds of shapes, sizes, formats
- 11. And this is what indexing does Makes data accessible in a structured format , easily accessible through search.
- 12. so what all needs to be Indexed and Searched ?
- 13. various FILE FORMATS Text Files HTML PDF MS Word PPT
- 14. coming from various DATA SOURCES Emails CMS File System Database Web Pages
- 15. data ( documents ) INDEX FILES user sends search query receives search results Analyzer fed to text that should be indexed removing stop words such as "a" or "the" converting all text to lowercase letters for case-insensitive searching Stemming (A stemming algorithm reduces the words "fishing", "fished", "fish", and "fisher" to the root word, "fish". )- Index Writer tokenized text
- 16. Document 1: Coffee isn't my cup of tea. Document 2: Chocolate, men, coffee - some things are better rich. INDEX coffee - 1,2 cup - 1 tea - 1 chocolate - 1 men - 1 things - 1 better - 1 rich - 1
- 17. And now the SEARCH Component
- 18. data INDEX FILES is indexed user receives search results sends search query search terms
- 19. Search Request Terms Taxonomy Spelling Index Correct Search Terms + Incorrect Search Terms Search Terms + Related Terms from Taxonomy + Concept IDs Search engine (INDEX) Search results with 1) Actual Location of the result 2) Rank 3) Details 4) Facet Categorization Results’ Page
- 20. introducing LUCENE
- 21. Full-text search library Open Source Documents in xml format Can operate on its own or via Solr
- 24. Ways of storing fields of any document: Indexed means it is searchable Stored you may chose not to make a field searchable, means the content can be displayed in the search results. Example : “ summary associated with a page ” Tokenized means it is run through an Analyzer , that converts the content into a sequence of tokens
- 25. introducing SOLR Solr Solr Lucene Index
- 26. open source handles index/Query to Lucene via HTTP and XML ( also JSON ) manages document update , add and delete requests to Lucene straightforward schema and config files comprehensive HTML Admin Interfaces highly configurable
- 27. Adding Documents to SOLR
- 28. HTTP POST to /update <add><doc boost=“2”> <field name=“type”>05991</field> <field name=“from”>Apache Solr</field> <field name=“subject”>An intro...</field> <field name=“category”>search</field> <field name=“category”>lucene</field> <field name=“body”>Solr is a full...</field> </doc></add>
- 29. Schema.xml field indexing and display definition
- 30. <field name="subject" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/> <field name="genus_species" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/> <field name="language" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/> <field name="creator" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/> <field name="control_num" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/> <field name="title_sort" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false"/>
- 31. Solrconfig.xml file defines cache size, faceted field type, request handler customization
- 32. Deleting Documents Delete by Id <delete><id>05591</id></delete> Delete by Query (multiple documents) <delete> <query>manufacturer:microsoft</query> </delete>
- 34. Default Parameters http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=video&start=0&rows=2&fl=name,price param default description q The query start 0 Offset into the list of matches rows 10 Number of documents to return fl * Stored fields to return qt standard Query type; maps to query handler df (schema) Default field to search
