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.
So far we used same escape procedure for all parts of the url (which includes x-www-form-urlencoded for all url components)
Added capability to use different encoding rules for the different url components (through specific bitset for each component).
(this is inspired by org.apache.http.client and java.net.uri implementation).
- Added test case for http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=559
- 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.
calculated from boostfields config, making sure title, description, keywords and content is always searched.
- apply change to solrServlet makes sure every remote query uses at least all locally defined boost fields for search
- apply to local solr search
- simplify select query by using QF defaults
If the url contains special chars (like umlaute äöü) it's interpreted as multybyte char and actually not converted at all (removed).
Added a check if the multibyte convesion is not complete, just add the char as is.
This fixes http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=200
This is useful in intranet indexing while crawling a intranet file server accessed via hostname while e.g. under Windows mapped to different drive letters on individual clients.
Here you can crawl e.g. file://fileserver/documents having a valid uri in that intranet environment (while e.g. P:/documents might be client dependant).

given css class and extends a given vocabulary with a term consisting
with the text content of the html class tag. Additionally, the term is
included into the semantic facet of the document. This allows the
creation of faceted search to documents without the pre-creation of
vocabularies; instead, the vocabulary is created on-the-fly, possibly
for use in other crawls. If any of the term scraping for a specific
vocabulary is successful on a document, this vocabulary is excluded for
auto-annotation on the page.
To use this feature, do the following:
- create a vocabulary on /Vocabulary_p.html (if not existent)
- in /CrawlStartExpert.html you will now see the vocabularies as column
in a table. The second column provides text fields where you can name
the class of html entities where the literal of the corresponding
vocabulary shall be scraped out
- when doing a search, you will see the content of the scraped fields in
a navigation facet for the given vocabulary
introduce FederateSearchManager handling search heuristic to external systems via specific FederateSearchConnectors,
which provide the query() functionallity, the translation to YaCy schema .toYaCySchema() and the search() routine to deliver results to searchevents, which is generally implemented in Abstract connector.
The manager enforces now a min 15s delay between calls to external systems.
Besides the OpensearchConnector a SolrFederateSearchConnector is available. It uses a additional config file for fieldname translation.
default heuristicopensearch.conf:
- openbdb.com removed - seems not longer to deliver results
- config via solrconnector to datacite.org added (large technical library archive)
