- an existing ranking servlet for solr was extended. It is now possible
to set boost values for fields, boost functions and boost queries.
- The ranking can have different instances, but currently only the first
one is used
- added an abstraction layer for fields which can be used for search and
those fields can be edited in the solr ranking configruation
- the ranking value from solr within the field score is used to combine
remote search requests, which all are created using the same locally
defined boost values
- reduced the number of fields which are used for search (makes it
faster)
- replaced some text fields by string fields (makes indexing faster)
- removed classes which had no use
- made a large number of experiments for a better ranking and created a
temporary setting which prefers hits inside titles
- adjusted also the RWI-based ranking computation to 'prefer title'
- made special cases like for portal search where no post-processing and
post-ranking is wanted: this keeps the original ranking order as done by
Solr
- fixed many bugs with old settings for ranking
- urlcitationindex != null check added to ResultEntry.referencesCount
- plus other places where conflicting procedure was used (and urlcitationindex not already checked != null)
added solr highlighting / YaCy snippets to YaCy search results
- facets are now much more complete
- facets are computed and searched much faster
- snippet computation is done by solr if solr knows the snippet
which had been then mixed with remote RWIs. Now these Solr documents are
feeded into the result set as they appear during local and remote
search. That makes the search much faster.
MultiProtocolURI during normalform computation because that should
always be done and also be done during initialization of the
MultiProtocolURI Object. The new normalform method takes only one
argument which should be 'true' unless you know exactly what you are
doing.
metadata representation from the solr index. This shall replace metadata
from the built-in database in the future.
- added the Solr-driven metadata into the search index of YaCy which
makes it now possible to run YaCy without the old metadata index. This
is a major stept forward to a full migration to Solr.
- search request are now made using a map boundary
- search results are only computed for the map boundary
- the number of results is adopted to the results in the visible range
- added a double-buffering for the search result markers
- added a search query option for the search results:
/radius/<lat>/<lon>/<radius>
