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
- 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
