Here a new concept called 'search heuristics' is introduced. A heuristic is a kind of 'shortcut' to good results in IT, here for good search results. In this case it will be used to get a very transparent way to compare what YaCy is able to produce as search result and what g**gle produces as search result. Here is what your can do now:
- add the phrase 'heuristic:scroogle' to your search query, like 'oil spill heuristic:scroogle' and then a call to scroogle is made to get anonymous search results from g**gle.
- these results are _not_ taken as meta-search results, but are used to instantly feed a crawling and indexing process. This happens very fast, here 20 results from scroogle are taken and loaded all simultanously, parsed and indexed immediately and from the results of the parsed content the search result is feeded, along to the normal p2p search
- when new results from that heuristic (more to come) get part of the search results, then it is verified if such results are redundant to existing (they had been part of the normal YaCy search result anyway) or if they had been completely new to YaCy.
- in the search results the new search results from heuristics are marked with a 'H ++' and search results from heuristics that had been already found by YaCy are marked with a 'H ='. That means:
- you can now see YaCy and Scroogle search results in one result page but you also see that you would not have 'missed' the g**gle results when you would only have used YaCy.
- to make it short: YaCy now subsumes g**gle results. If you use only YaCy, you miss nothing.
to come: a configuration page that let you configure the usage of heuristics and get this feature by default.

The result should be a less usage of new String() and less memory usage (since a String-encapsulated byte[] has 40 bytes overhead)

this is the beginning of some architecture changes that will hopefully bring some more stability, speed and transparency to the search process.

- removed the plasma package. The name of that package came from a very early pre-version of YaCy, even before YaCy was named AnomicHTTPProxy. The Proxy project introduced search for cache contents using class files that had been developed during the plasma project. Information from 2002 about plasma can be found here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20020802110827/http://anomic.de/AnomicPlasma/index.html
We stil have one class that comes mostly unchanged from the plasma project, the Condenser class. But this is now part of the document package and all other classes in the plasma package can be assigned to other packages.
- cleaned up the http package: better structure of that class and clean isolation of server and client classes. The old HTCache becomes part of the client sub-package of http.
- because the plasmaSwitchboard is now part of the search package all servlets had to be touched to declare a different package source.

- The indexing queue was a historic data structure that was introduced at the very beginning at the project as a part of the switchboard organisation object structure. Without the indexing queue the switchboard queue becomes also superfluous. It has been removed as well.
- Removing the switchboard queue requires that all servlets are called without a opaque generic ('<?>'). That caused that all serlets had to be modified.
- Many servlets displayed the indexing queue or the size of that queue. In the past months the indexer was so fast that mostly the indexing queue appeared empty, so there was no use of it any more. Because the queue has been removed, the display in the servlets had also to be removed.
- The surrogate work task had been a part of the indexing queue control structure. Without the indexing queue the surrogates needed its own task management. That has been integrated here.
- Because the indexing queue had a special queue entry object and properties attached to this object, the propterties had to be moved to the queue entry object which is part of the new indexing queue withing the blocking queue, the Response Object. That object has now also the new properties of the removed indexing queue entry object.

divided that class into three parts:
- the peers object is now hosted by the plasmaSwitchboard
- the crawler elements are now in a new class, crawler.CrawlerSwitchboard
- the index elements are core of the new segment data structure, which is a bundle of different indexes for the full text and (in the future) navigation indexes and the metadata store. The new class is now in kelondro.text.Segment
The refactoring is inspired by the roadmap to create index segments, the option to host different indexes on one peer.

especially loading of favicons in search results. This is a fix that
affects only searches in intranet/repository configurations.
git-svn-id: https://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/yacy/trunk@5670 6c8d7289-2bf4-0310-a012-ef5d649a1542
- after a index selection is made, the index is splitted into its vertical components
- from differrent index selctions the splitted components can be accumulated before they are placed into the transmission queue
- each splitted chunk gets its own transmission thread
- multiple transmission threads are started concurrently
- the process can be monitored with the blocking queue servlet
To implement that, a new package de.anomic.yacy.dht was created. Some old files have been removed.
The new index distribution model using a vertical DHT was implemented. An abstraction of this model
is implemented in the new dht package as interface. The freeworld network has now a configuration
of two vertial partitions; sixteen partitions are planned and will be configured if the process is bug-free.
This modification has three main targets:
- enhance the DHT transmission speed
- with a vertical DHT, a search will speed up. With two partitions, two times. With sixteen, sixteen times.
- the vertical DHT will apply a semi-dht for URLs, and peers will receive a fraction of the overall URLs they received before.
with two partitions, the fractions will be halve. With sixteen partitions, a 1/16 of the previous number of URLs.
BE CAREFULL, THIS IS A MAJOR CODE CHANGE, POSSIBLY FULL OF BUGS AND HARMFUL THINGS.

- during the user types search queries, the local database is searched
- results are presented interactively
This was implemented using a new JSON result format for search results in YaCy
- added JSON as file format for servlets
- refactoring of current search servlets (xml and html)
- added JSON output format for search results
- added AJAX-based search page, that uses the yacysearch.json selrvlet to print results as a query is typed

The old process used a not really efficient way to detect html encoding strings in texts.
All calling methods had been adoped to call the new class in an enhanced way with less parameters.
Many classes in interfaces used a XML encoding only (instead of full html conversion from unicode to html); this behavior was not changed with this commit but should be controlled again since it points out possible XSS leaks

- removed distinction between header file types for http and ftp; ftp is simulated by using http properties
- removed all old resourceInfo classes that handled this distinction
- introduced a new distinction between http request and http response objects
- unified new response objects with two other object types that had been introduced elsewhere
- changed all servlet call methods to use the new http request header object type
- divided static object keys for http header properties into request and response types
- refactoring here and there (a large number of type changes and many methods merged/moved)

- to make this possible, a large refactoring and reorganisation of data structures was necessary

This change is inspired by the need to see a network connected to the index it creates in a indexing team.
It is not possible to divide the network and the index. Therefore all control files for the network was moved to the network within the INDEX/<network-name> subfolder.
The remaining YACYDB is superfluous and can be deleted.
The yacyDB and yacyNews data structures are now part of plasmaWordIndex. Therefore all methods, using static access to yacySeedDB had to be rewritten. A special problem had been all the port forwarding methods which had been tightly mixed with seed construction. It was not possible to move the port forwarding functions to the place, meaning and usage of plasmaWordIndex. Therefore the port forwarding had been deleted (I guess nobody used it and it can be simulated by methods outside of YaCy).
The mySeed.txt is automatically moved to the current network position. A new effect causes that every network will create a different local seed file, which is ok, since the seed identifies the peer only against the network (it is the purpose of the seed hash to give a peer a location within the DHT).
No other functional change has been made. The next steps to enable network switcing are:
- shift of crawler tables from PLASMADB into the network (crawls are also network-specific)
- possibly shift of plasmaWordIndex code into yacy package (index management is network-specific)
- servlet to switch networks

This is performed using a 3-stage sorting process:
- sort by relevance, then do snippet-fetch
- sort snippets by relevance then do image link extraction
- sort image links by image size; unknown sizes are handled like small sizes
- only the exact amount of images as requested are shown

- the index administration now uses the same code base for url selection and collection
as the search interface. The index administration is therefore a good test environment for
ranking order control
- removed old postsorting-algorithms, will be replaced with new one
- fixed many bugs occurred before during ranking; especially the contraint filtering method
removed too many links
- fixed media search flags; had been attached to too many urls. The effect should be a better
pre-sorting before media load within snippet fetch

- put(key, value) methods are now used if a value added to the map should be kept as it is. Numbers are transformed (but not formatted) to an equivalent String representation.
- putASIS(...) have been removed, now done with simple put(...) (see above).
- puNum(...) can be used for number values which should be stored in a formatted way, either depending on the current locale setting for yacy (default) or in a "none" locale (see javadocs and setLocalize()).
- putHTML(...) escapes special characters into corresponding HTML enities ('<' => '<') which was done with put(...) before and so was called too often, becauses it is necessary only for very few cases. Additionally there is a "forXML" mode which only replaces < > & ".
In short: Use put(...) for almost everything, use putXY(...) if you need some special transformation of the value.
A few bugs have been fixed as well, and there should be a small performance improvement for complex pages with a lot of values.
* added additional Sum/Avg rows to access tracker pages, see http://forum.yacy-websuche.de/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=456
* removed duplicate code (mostly related to the big changes above).
TODO:
- make sure, number formats work as expected _everywhere_, report overseen stuff http://forum.yacy-websuche.de/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=437
- probably a good idea to add special putDate() methods as they are used in many pages and create duplicated formatting code + maybe some centralized handling for memory value formatting.
- further improve the speed of page creation for the WatchCrawler.

search profiling showed, that a major amount of time is wasted by computing url hashes. The computation does an intranet-check, which needs a DNS lookup. This caused that each urlhash computation needed 100-200 milliseconds, which caused remote searches to delay at least 1 second more that necessary. The solution to this problem is to attach a URL hash to the URL data structure, because that means that the url hash value can be filled after retrieval of the URL from the database. The redesign of the url/urlhash management caused a major redesign of many parts of the software. Since some parts had been decided to be given up they had been removed during this change to avoid unnecessary maintenance of unused code.

- snippets are not fetched by browser using ajax, they are now fetched internally
- YaCy-internat threads control existence of snippets and sort out bad results
- search results are prepared using SSI includes
- the search result page is visible right after the search request, the results drop in when they are detected
- no more time-out strategy during search processes, results are shifted within queues when they arrive from remote peers
- added result page switching! after the first 10 results, the next page can be retrieved
- number of remote results is updated online on the result page as they drop in
- removed old snippet servelet (which had been also a security leak btw)
- media search is broken now, will be redesigned and fixed in another step
