Is there a way make Drupal's search module work on partial search? For example I want to find a node which has title like "apple" when I search "app". I made a research, there are some modules. Fuzzy Search module is useful for me but it does not work.

You can do it with hook_query_alter, hook triggered before running on db , all sql statements are entering to this hook. You can modify the query as you want. But it can be a little bit difficult. Because there is 3 query you have to modify. Main search query is third one. But 2nd and 3td one are working if first query has a result. Therefore you can be confused a little bit when you are working on it. If you can't resolve the problem, write me I will send you a code block.

I'm developing a webapp that will need to download the html form a website and then iterate through the code and try to find a specific but ever changing value (in our case it will be the price for the product).
For this, I was thinking about asking the user (upon installation and setup) to provide the system with a few lines of html from the page (that has the price) and then from then on, every time we need to fetch the price we would try to search for those lines and find the price.
Now, I believe this is a horrible and slow way of doing this and since there are no rules and the html can be totally different from one website to another (even the same website might change) I couldn't find a better way.
One improvement that I thought about was to iterate through the first time and record the line at which we find the code. Once found, the subsequent times we would then start from a few lines before the expected location and start the search. Any Thoughts on how I can improve on this?
I posted this question on https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/ but they commented that it's not on topic and that I should post it here.
I have the code for the above and if needed I can post it, I'm simply thinking that there must be a better, faster way of doing this.
This is actually something I tried for a project recently (using BeautifulSoup and Python). The solution that worked for me was to workout CSS selectors (which can map to jQuery selectors) that targeted the elements that contained the values I was looking for. In my case I was able to narrow down the full document to just the elements that contained what I was looking for but if you couldn't get exactly what you where after you could combine this with some extra lactic like test to see if it looks like a price (via regex) or test what it is next to.
I have a slight problem I have been trying to address for a client I have been working with. We have 4 sets of single pages that are loading content from a database using PHP based upon a get string that is provided. These pages that are generated are optimized well for SEO and have alt tags for images and Content that we need to be able to search using a search feature.
Now i had assumed (An everyone knows what assuming gets you) that these pages by default would be able to be searched by the concrete 5 built in search feature. But it doesn't work. If I search for a word that I know is definitely on one of these pages even multiple times no results are found.
How can I make Concrete5 search these pages. If its no do able by a default or by a plugin, then can someone please offer some advice on how to fix this. This is an important feature and must be completed.
EDIT: See my comment below. I still need some help or direction here as CSE inst much of an option.
EDIT2: It may be viable for me to install a crawler and a custom search engine to address my problems. I was thinking of spider. Any other suggestions on that or other options are much appreciated!
Unfortunately C5 doesn't provide a way to do this -- the only way to tap into the search index is with blocks. And even if you created a phony block just to pass content from the single_page through to the search index, there's no way to say that some content is from one URL while other content is from another URL (which you'd need to do since your single_page controller is handling many different URL's).
I don't know of a way to achieve what you want to do (and it appears that nobody else does either -- http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/make-content-in-single-pages-searchable/ ), other than building your own internal search engine.
EDIT: I just did some digging, and thought that perhaps you could manually insert records into the PageSearchIndex table and specify the searchable content and the desired path there -- but this won't work because it relies on one cID (collection id, a.k.a. page id) per entry -- so you'd only be able to insert one record for the top-level single_page path.
I think the simplest solution here would be to create your own searching infrastructure for your single_pages (like some kind of function in the controller that would return an array of page paths and searchable content for each one), then override the search block and perform an additional search of your single_page -- then combine the results on the search results page there. Or just use google site search for your site, which will actually crawl the pages and hence find your various single_page urls: https://www.google.com/cse/
Best of luck.
I have not tested this, but maybe you can put a function getSearchableContent() in the single pages controller like you do for blocks. This would return the string to be searched. Would look something like this:
function getSearchableContent() {
// ... compose searchstring depending on the queried content.
return $searchstring;
}
But I don't know if this works for dynamic content. If not, I'd look into C5's search index core classes and try to extend them for your project.
I am new to islandora. I have it integrated with solr and it works fine but the results only show on the page with the following URL:
somesite.com/islandora/search
This is fine but I would like the results to show on a different page inside a view or a block.
Is this actually possible?
After reading the documentation it doesn't seem like it is. But I believe this should be a rather slandered requirement.
I have tried using URL Aliases, with no luck.
Has anyone done this??
If you have integrated the apache solr with sit Search then there is a module named Search API Page Block, which can help you showing result in block but it will only work for title of the nodes.
As it explains -
Currently, this module is only useful when placing search result
blocks on node pages, since it currently only uses $node->title as the
search keywords. Future development can lead to other uses, including
using Taxonomy terms, Context module, or custom fields to set the
keywords.
Currently, we're running revolution 2.2. On site_content, we have some tags that are ran for crawling twitter. I want to start tracking the number of results for each tag as results come in, to determine which tags don't return that many results, etc.
So I was thinking that I should create a new table (twitter_data), and have a foreign key that will link it to the search tag ID, which is stored in site_content.
What is the best path to accomplish this? Should I create my table then run the reverse schema tool, outlined here?
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Reverse+Engineer+xPDO+Classes+from+Existing+Database+Table#ReverseEngineerxPDOClassesfromExistingDatabaseTable-CreatingaMySQLtable
I also found this, but not sure if this is what I should be looking into:
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Using+Custom+Database+Tables+in+your+3rd+Party+Components
Probably not - if you can avoid modifying the core modx schema do so. an external table may be your best option, but requires a fair bit of work.
though if you can explain wht you mean by 'tags' a little better [html tags? snippets? content tags? not sure what you mean] there may be other options. for example. one of our clients wanted to count page hits [and didn't want to use google to do it] so all we did was to create a template variable bound to each page they wanted to count and then updated that appropriate variable by writing plugin to fire on the onpageload or onpagerender event. [I don't ermember exactly which or what it was called]
Basically, you may be able to do this by writng a plugin rather than trying to extend anything or add snippets/chunks.
What I need is Search Scaffolding but in its absence I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of any really simple examples for adding search to a domain.
I can't use the searchable plugin as it conflicts with the AppEngine plugin (Unless someone has got this to work?). I just need to be able to filter the scaffold list to contain only the results which match the query. I don't need a pure text box solution, I imagine it too look exactly like the 'create' form except when you submit you get a list of matching objects.
I hope this makes sense, thanks in advance!
