to always get fresh lists of documents. This is necessary since the
postprocessing changes the same documents which the
postprocessing-collection query selects.
hold a date for each URL to record when a url was first seen. This is
then used to overwrite the modification date for urls upon recrawl in
case that the first-seen date is before the latest document date. This
behaviour is necessary due to the common behaviour of content management
systems which attach always the current date to all documents. Using the
firstSeen database it is possible to approximate a real first document
creation date in case that the crawler starts frequently for the same
domain. As a result the search results ordered by date have a much
better quality and the usage of YaCy as search agent for latest news has
a better quality.
attached to the seed info. API clients must be adopted. Documentation
will be fixed in
http://www.yacy-websuche.de/wiki/index.php/Dev:APIseedlist
Also added a new retrieval option for seeds, they can now be retrieved
by their name with the get parameter name=<name>
This is the first element of a new 'decoration' component which may hold
switches for different external appearance parameters.
The first switch in that context is decoration.audio (as usual in
yacy.init). This value is set to false by default, that means the audio
feedback element is switched off by default. To switch it on, set
decoration.audio = true (using /ConfigProperties_p.html). You will then
hear sounds for the following events:
- remote searches
- incoming dht transmissions
- new documents from the crawler
Sound clips are stored in htroot/env/soundclips/ which is done so
because a future implementation will read these files using the http
client and with configurable urls which will make it very easy for the
user to replace the given sounds with own sounds.
*) will try other ports if YaCy standard ports are not available
*) distinguish between internal and external port (not sure if this
works 100%)
Still to add: propery in config to enter own external port (in case of
manually configured NAT)
tested with IE11 and Firefox 32 (change worked for both to show 2nd line without cutting off height)
+fix charset parameter in metadataImageParser
+update start errMsgTxt to "java 1.7"
used parameter &cat=image is obsolete and returns no results
- remove &cat=image and &cat=href references
- remove &tenant= references (unused)
Use contentdom=image and inurl: parameter to make showPicture link display something (open in new window because of used inurl modifier changes original query)
removed preferred IPv4 in start options and added a new field IP6 in
peer seeds which will contain one or more IPv6 addresses. Now every peer
has one or more IP addresses assigned, even several IPv6 addresses are
possible. The peer-ping process must check all given and possible IP
addresses for a backping and return the one IP which was successful when
pinging the peer. The ping-ing peer must be able to recognize which of
the given IPs are available for outside access of the peer and store
this accordingly. If only one IPv6 address is available and no IPv4,
then the IPv6 is stored in the old IP field of the seed DNA.
Many methods in Seed.java are now marked as @deprecated because they had
been used for a single IP only. There is still a large construction site
left in YaCy now where all these deprecated methods must be replaced
with new method calls. The 'extra'-IPs, used by cluster assignment had
been removed since that can be replaced with IPv6 usage in p2p clusters.
All clusters must now use IPv6 if they want an intranet-routing.
it is now possible to get the results in two steps:
- first retrieve all IDs as given for a query
- then retieve each document individually
This was necessary for very large result sets where a query may run for
hours and is possibly terminated by a solr-internal timeout. This occurs
regulary during postprocessing and therefore this commit may fix
unwanted postprocessing terminations.
done. This makes it possible to search all documents on a single domain
even if no search word is given. This is in particular interesting when
searching for all images on a single domain.
Most links in Network.html are only available with transparent proxy = on, which is switched off by default,
to make the provided links useable in default setup a small forward servlet added (goto_p.java),
which takes the peer hash as parameter and forwards to current public ip (optional with path= parameter).
The servlet is protected ( _p ending) to assure forwarding works only for authorized YaCy users.
not point to youtube directly to prevent that the referer to the peer
address is given to youtube. Instead, a forwarder address at yacy.net is
used to redirect to the tutorial repository (and can be changed later).
- remove verify=cacheonly from admin screen search box to use the configured values
(otherwise definition overwrites configured behavior and is used for following searches what might give unexpected/confusing different results compared to using /yacysearch )
string which is visible in the browser. That makes it possible that the
browser instructs the user how to change a forgotten admin password
(during runtime).
advanced settings to a top-menu entry. Moved the advanced setting to a
less prominent place of the submenu. Removed the table administration
from target analysis submenu because it appeared double, the table
administration is now the default in the system administration.
Sorry for inconvenience if i constantly move menues around, but this
makes just more sense and YaCy is still not finished :)
- The options were not current (only port number accepted, which is part of ConfigBasic.html)
- Deleted options and the port number input field from the proxyaccess page.
- joined both transparent proxy setup pages (Settings_Http.inc & Settings_ProxyAccess.inc) in one page
- adjustments to the related/linked pages
filled with the date, when the url is recognized as to be outdated. That
field was partly misinterpreted and the time interval was filled in. In
case that all the urls which are in the index shall be treated as
outdated, the field is filled now with Long.MAX_VALUE because then all
crawl dates are before that date and therefore outdated.
according to the ranking profiles boost fields defined by the peer (if df/qf is not specified in query).
This allows for pretty simple queries ( q=word) without the need to know about the specific index configuration.
Making sure all relevant fields (as determined by the index owner) are searched, still maintaining the option to query specific fields
and does not relay on the duplication of text to text_t.
- add author to reset-default boost fields (support results for author nav)
- with search modifier /heuristic a request is send to all configured opensearch target systems (old /heuristic/blekko modifier not longer valid)
- this allows to use opensearch heuristic on individual search request (in contrast to configuration HEURISTIC_OPENSEARCH=true which sends a osd request on all global searches
- the index.html searchoption text adjusted to be displayed only if option configured
- add Archive-It to predefined systems
attribute in the <a> tag for each crawl. This introduces a lot of
changes because it extends the usage of the AnchorURL Object type which
now also has a different toString method that the underlying
DigestURL.toString. It is therefore not advised to use .toString at all
for urls, just just toNormalform(false) instead.
with metadata retrieval from connectors directly. This should cause
better usage of the cache. Automatically increase the metadata cache if
more memory is available.
'cloud' was a bad idea. Changed also the accumulation process for peer
targets so that every dht chunk is not assigned the set of redundant
targets but they are assigned to redundant targets individually. This
enhances the granularity of the target accumulation and should enhance
the efficiency of the process. Finally the dht protocol client was
enriched with the ability to remove the 'accept remote index' flag from
peers or remove peers completely if they do not answer at all.
for internal Solr indexes. This is mainly caused by the fact that an
external Solr may be also a SolrCloud which do not support LukeRequests,
which are needed to request the old Schema.
was optional and another alternative metadata store was available. Since
that store is now removed, Solr is always available (internally or
externally)
and adjusted xslt, for solr snippets (&hl=true) to decode the xml encoded html <b> tag by adding disable-output-escaping
(still open item description may be double as dc: tag and rss.description tag)
- Web servers may now deliver YaCy-specific http header field with a
title and keywords. The new http header fields are:
X-YaCy-Media-Title - to be used for media (image, audio, video) titles
X-YaCy-Media-Keywords - to be used for media (image, audio, video)
keywords
- both fields are written to document fields title and keywords and are
searched also during image search.
- to make the usage of arbitrary http header fields (including this new
fields) possible in the /api/push_p.json servlet, a new POST argument is
also introduced to push http header fields. The new POST attribute is
named "responseHeader-X" (where X is the counter). It is allowed to use
this attribute as multi-attribute several times, each can be filled with
a http header line.
- see /api/push_p.html for examples
force page navigation to be displayed below results in image search for any number of displayed images instead to be displayed to the right of last image.
Filter queries are not actually related to ranking, but user requests
have pointed out that specific boost queries to move results to the end
of the result list are not sufficient. Such boost filters may be better
executed as actual filter and therefore such a filter can now be
statically applied to every search request. A typical use could be the
expression "http_unique_b:true AND www_unique_b:true" which uses the
recently introduced fields http_unique_b and www_unique_b which are true
only for one of the alternatives with/without http(s) and with/without
prefix 'www.' in host names.
The collection field (can be filled i.e. in Crawl Start) can be used to
add categories to YaCy index entries. The usage of that field was
restricted to solr searches and post argument filters as implemented in
commit f7571386a3.
This commit extends collections to a full navigation option in the
standard YaCy search interface. The field is not active by default but
can be activated easily in the /ConfigSearchPage_p.html servlet (just
check the 'Collection' facet field). Collections can now be used for (at
least) two purposes:
- to provide search tenants (through post argument collection)
- to provide self-made category navigation
Search requests may now have (independently from switched on or off
collection facet) a "collection:<collection-name>" modifier attached;
firthermore collection names may use disjunctions using the '|' pipe
symbol. For example, this is a valid search request:
www collection:user|proxy
crawling to the YaCy indexer. Files are uploaded using POST multipart
requests; multiple file uploads are possible as well. Each file has
attached the file date and mime type which is used to get the right
parser for the submitted data. Also an url is submitted which is
assigned to the document.
The CrawlSwitchboard has a new option for default Crawl Profiles which
are assigned dynamically from the new push interface.
- unique-postprocessing was destroying results from other
postprocessings; removed cross-updates as they had been not necessary
- unique-postprocessing did not restrict on same protocol
- inefficient concurrent update cache was redesigned completely
- increased limits for concurrent blocking queues to prevent early
time-out
local files can be crawled (intranet mode) url parsing fixed according to RFC 1738 (for unix and windows)
for win like file:///c:/tmp or file://localhost/c:/tmp
for linux like file:///tmp or file://localhost/tmp
Host is ignored and path must be absolute
adding transparently text_t as pseudo default search field if no fieldname (no : ) is included.
adressing bug report http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=274
besides adjustments in code it makes the servlet settings in web.xml significant.
This applies to solr, gsa and proxy servlet. There is no longer a default setup in code during init (as jetty 9 checks for double definition).
*) added JSON support
*) fixed Exception in case of missing parameters
*) renamed parameter for items in "add entry" and "delete entry" from
"entry" to "item" to match term in XML
This organizes all urls to be loaded in separate queues for each host.
Each host separates the crawl depth into it's own queue. The primary
rule for urls taken from any queue is, that the crawl depth is minimal.
This produces a crawl depth which is identical to the clickdepth.
Furthermorem the crawl is able to create a much better balancing over
all hosts which is fair to all hosts that are in the queue.
This process will create a very large number of files for wide crawls in
the QUEUES folder: for each host a directory, for each crawl depth a
file inside the directory. A crawl with maxdepth = 4 will be able to
create 10.000s of files. To be able to use that many file readers, it
was necessary to implement a new index data structure which opens the
file only if an access is wanted (OnDemandOpenFileIndex). The usage of
such on-demand file reader shall prevent that the number of file
pointers is over the system limit, which is usually about 10.000 open
files. Some parts of YaCy had to be adopted to handle the crawl depth
number correctly. The logging and the IndexCreateQueues servlet had to
be adopted to show the crawl queues differently, because the host name
is attached to the port on the host to differentiate between http,
https, and ftp services.
