| − | There are two forms of search on Dreamwidth installations: both are optional and require further setup.
| + | #REDIRECT [[Search]] |
| − | | + | |
| − | User search searches for users matching certain characteristics. Text search searches through entries and comments. This page will focus on text search.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == User Search ==
| + | |
| − | Not heavily documented, instructions for setup can be found in [[Set_up_UserSearch]].

| − | Dreamwidth uses Sphinx, an open-source search package, to implement text search. Search is available on the [http://dreamwidth.org/search search page]. There are two modes of search: site search, and per-journal search.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Site search only shows public content. Journal search may contain locked content, following the regular behavior for whether you can see the locked content or not. That is, if you can see it on the journal, then you can find it with search. If you can't see it on the journal, then you won't see it in the search results. There's also an option to search by comments. Only comments made on paid users' journals are indexed for technical reasons (site load).

| − | === Software Installation ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You'll need to install the Sphinx package and a couple of Perl modules that will let us use Sphinx with our code.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Installing the Sphinx package ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You will need to download the Sphinx package:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | wget http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads/sphinx-0.9.9.tar.gz
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | And then install it:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | tar -zxvf sphinx-0.9.9.tar.gz
| + | |
| − | cd sphinx-0.9.9/
| + | |
| − | ./configure
| + | |
| − | make
| + | |
| − | make install # as root
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Installing File::SearchPath and Sphinx::Search ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | They're available via Ubuntu's package system, so:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | apt-get install libfile-searchpath-perl libsphinx-search-perl
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It is important that you [http://search.cpan.org/~jjschutz/Sphinx-Search-0.22/lib/Sphinx/Search.pm#VERSION match up the versions] of the Perl packages and the Sphinx package; otherwise, your searches will silently fail due to incompatibilities in the APi. Assuming that all works, you should have everything installed that you need to get the search system setup. Moving on!
