KinoSearch1::Docs::Tutorial(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation KinoSearch1::Docs::Tutorial(3)

KinoSearch1::Docs::Tutorial - sample indexing and search applications

The following sample code for invindexer.plx and search.cgi can be used to create a simple search engine. It requires the html presentation of the US Constitution included in the distribution for KinoSearch1, under "t/us_constitution".

Note that a proper indexer for html documents would not rely on quick-n-dirty regular expressions for stripping tags, as this one does for the sake of brevity -- it would use a dedicated parsing module such as HTML::Parser.

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    
    use File::Spec;
    use KinoSearch1::InvIndexer;
    use KinoSearch1::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer;
    
    ### In order for invindexer.plx to work correctly, you must modify 
    ### $source_dir, $path_to_invindex, and possibly $base_url.
    ###
    ### $source_dir must lead to the directory containing the US
    ### Constitution html files.
    ###
    ### $path_to_invindex is the future location of the invindex.
    ###
    ### $base_url should reflect the location of the us_constitution directory
    ### when accessed via a web browser.
    my $source_dir       = '';
    my $path_to_invindex = '';
    my $base_url         = '/us_constitution';
    
    opendir( my $source_dh, $source_dir )
        or die "Couldn't opendir '$source_dir': $!";
    my @filenames = grep {/\.html/} readdir $source_dh;
    closedir $source_dh or die "Couldn't closedir '$source_dir': $!";
    
    ### STEP 1: Choose an Analyzer.
    my $analyzer = KinoSearch1::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer->new( 
        language => 'en',
    );

    ### STEP 2: Create a InvIndexer object.
    my $invindexer = KinoSearch1::InvIndexer->new(
        analyzer => $analyzer,
        invindex => $path_to_invindex,
        create   => 1,
    );
    
    ### STEP 3: Define fields.
    $invindexer->spec_field( name => 'title' );
    $invindexer->spec_field( 
        name       => 'bodytext',
        vectorized => 1,
    );
    $invindexer->spec_field(
        name    => 'url',
        indexed => 0,
    );
    
    foreach my $filename (@filenames) {
        next if $filename eq 'index.html';
        my $filepath = File::Spec->catfile( $source_dir, $filename );
        open( my $fh, '<', $filepath )
            or die "couldn't open file '$filepath': $!";
        my $content = do { local $/; <$fh> };
    
        ### STEP 4: Start a new document.
        my $doc = $invindexer->new_doc;
    
        $content =~ m#<title>(.*?)</title>#s
            or die "couldn't isolate title in '$filepath'";
        my $title = $1;
        $content =~ m#<div id="bodytext">(.*?)</div><!--bodytext-->#s
            or die "couldn't isolate bodytext in '$filepath'";
        my $bodytext = $1;
        $bodytext =~ s/<.*?>/ /gsm;    # quick and dirty tag stripping
    
        ### STEP 5: Set the value for each field.
        $doc->set_value( url      => "$base_url/$filename" );
        $doc->set_value( title    => $title );
        $doc->set_value( bodytext => $bodytext );
    
        ### STEP 6 Add the document to the invindex.
        $invindexer->add_doc($doc);
    
        ### STEP 7 Repeat steps 3-5 for each document in the collection.
    }
    
    ### STEP 8 Finalize the invindex.
    $invindexer->finish;

    #!/usr/bin/perl -T
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    
    use CGI;
    use List::Util qw( max min );
    use POSIX qw( ceil );
    use KinoSearch1::Searcher;
    use KinoSearch1::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer;
    use KinoSearch1::Highlight::Highlighter;
    
    my $cgi           = CGI->new;
    my $q             = $cgi->param('q');
    my $offset        = $cgi->param('offset');
    my $hits_per_page = 10;
    $q      = '' unless defined $q;
    $offset = 0  unless defined $offset;
    
    ### In order for search.cgi to work, $path_to_invindex must be modified so
    ### that it points to the invindex created by invindexer.plx, and
    ### $base_url may have to change to reflect where a web-browser should
    ### look for the us_constitution directory.
    my $path_to_invindex = '';
    my $base_url         = '/us_constitution';
    
    ### STEP 1: Specify the same Analyzer used to create the invindex.
    my $analyzer = KinoSearch1::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer->new( 
        language => 'en', 
    );
    
    ### STEP 2: Create a Searcher object.
    my $searcher = KinoSearch1::Searcher->new(
        invindex => $path_to_invindex,
        analyzer => $analyzer,
    );
    
    ### STEP 3: Feed a query to the Search object.
    my $hits = $searcher->search($q);
    
    ### STEP 4: Arrange for highlighted excerpts to be created.
    my $highlighter = KinoSearch1::Highlight::Highlighter->new( 
        excerpt_field => 'bodytext' );
    $hits->create_excerpts( highlighter => $highlighter );
    
    ### STEP 5: Process the search.
    $hits->seek( $offset, $hits_per_page );
    
    ### STEP 6: Format the results however you like.
    
    # create result list
    my $report = '';
    while ( my $hit = $hits->fetch_hit_hashref ) {
        my $score = sprintf( "%0.3f", $hit->{score} );
        $report .= qq|
