to support the new time parser and search functions in YaCy a high
precision detection of date and time on the day is necessary. That
requires that the time zone of the document content and the time zone of
the user, doing a search, is detected. The time zone of the search
request is done automatically using the browsers time zone offset which
is delivered to the search request automatically and invisible to the
user. The time zone for the content of web pages cannot be detected
automatically and must be an attribute of crawl starts. The advanced
crawl start now provides an input field to set the time zone in minutes
as an offset number. All parsers must get a time zone offset passed, so
this required the change of the parser java api. A lot of other changes
had been made which corrects the wrong handling of dates in YaCy which
was to add a correction based on the time zone of the server. Now no
correction is added and all dates in YaCy are UTC/GMT time zone, a
normalized time zone for all peers.
- date navigation
The date is taken from the CONTENT of the documents / web pages, NOT
from a date submitted in the context of metadata (i.e. http header or
html head form). This makes it possible to search for documents in the
future, i.e. when documents contain event descriptions for future
events.
The date is written to an index field which is now enabled by default.
All documents are scanned for contained date mentions.
To visualize the dates for a specific search results, a histogram
showing the number of documents for each day is displayed. To render
these histograms the morris.js library is used. Morris.js requires also
raphael.js which is now also integrated in YaCy.
The histogram is now also displayed in the index browser by default.
To select a specific range from a search result, the following modifiers
had been introduced:
from:<date>
to:<date>
These modifiers can be used separately (i.e. only 'from' or only 'to')
to describe an open interval or combined to have a closed interval. Both
dates are inclusive. To select a specific single date only, use the
'to:' - modifier.
The histogram shows blue and green lines; the green lines denot weekend
days (saturday and sunday).
Clicking on bars in the histogram has the following reaction:
1st click: add a from:<date> modifier for the date of the bar
2nd click: add a to:<date> modifier for the date of the bar
3rd click: remove from and date modifier and set a on:<date> for the bar
When the on:<date> modifier is used, the histogram shows an unlimited
time period. This makes it possible to click again (4th click) which is
then interpreted as a 1st click again (sets a from modifier).
The display feature is NOT switched on by default; to switch it on use
the /ConfigSearchPage_p.html servlet.
- 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
possible
- re-implemented formerly jquery-based tagcloud with simple html
- fixed minimized menu for mobile/minimized view (try that: make window
very narrow...)
- adopted all YaCy administration pages to new framework
- created new search page layout (working, but still work in progress)
- old skin files are fully appliable! (and looking good)
- target is a new style based on bootstrap examples, see /test.html
- icons in YaCy may be replaced by glyphicons (to be done)
- since specific heuristic Twitter & Blekko is not longer available or redundant with OpenSearchHeuristic,
adjusted ConfigHeuristic to use OpensearchHeuristic settings only.
For this the default OSD search target list is made available (copied) by default and the other configs are removed.
- the return of QueryGoal.getOriginalQueryString includes the queryModifier, which are held separately in a modifier object,
but in most (all) cases just the query term is expected, clarified and renamed it to QueryGoal.getQueryString which returns
just the search term (if needed a .getOrigianlQueryString could be implemented in Queryparameters, adding the modifiers)
- started to adjust internal html href references from absolute to relative (currently it is mixed).
For future development we should prefer relative href targets (less trouble with context aware servlets)
switch between p2p search and the 'stealth mode' which is simply a
non-p2p search within the p2p network. The functionality was there all
the time, but the switch to this was not very visible.

The feature was not called 'haslink' but called 'inlink' to have a
analogous naming like 'inurl'. This causes now that you can search for
words in links of the document, like:
* inlink:yacy
searches all documents which link to pages which have an 'yacy' in the
url.
need regular expressions as search attributes. They had now been removed
from the advanced search page while they are still created internally.
The filter is then expressed against solr as regular expression filter
query. If the expression points out a selection of an specific protocol,
host or filetype this is then translated into a facetted query.
- fixed language and heuristic modifier
- added hint to crawl start that we can do also ftp and smb crawls
- added a protocol extension to remote crawls to transport all search modifiers to remote peers

- update to jquery-ui 1.8.16 (includes themes)
- introduced new portalsearch (as default)
- old portalsearch is still available and accessible, but will eventually be removed
- jquery and portal search is now loaded by special header templates for maintenance reasons
- update to new autocomplete, solves bug: http://bugs.yacy.net/view.php?id=29
- many improvements to YMarks GUI and API...more to come anytime soon
Sorry, this is a rather large commit, I hope it doesn't break anything essential, but I need to consolidate some of my efforts in order to move ahead. Especially the update to the portalsearch widget might not be welcomed, but the old one is simply incompatible with newer jquery and jquery-ui libraries, sorry. The code tree /yacy/ui/... is obsolete and will be removed in the future. At that point all productive portalsearches should have migrated to the new version.

- removed configuration button for 'search only for admin' from index.html and added this to ConfigPortal
- added configuration of link verification options (iffresh, cacheonly, nocache, ifexist) to ConfigPortal
- added configuration of navigation options to ConfigPortal
- added an option to switch off automatic index cleaning in case that a link verification method fails

instead, a setting at ConfigPortal.html can be made to define if the topmenu shall be shown at these pages or if there is no naviagtion at all.

"Default index.html Page (by forwarder)" in /ConfigPortal.html
The purpose is to forward to /yacyinteractive.html for the 27C3 FTP search plattform

- added a suggest servlet according to opensearch and firefox standard
- integrated the suggest servlet into opensearch description file
