Filter queries are not actually related to ranking, but user requests
have pointed out that specific boost queries to move results to the end
of the result list are not sufficient. Such boost filters may be better
executed as actual filter and therefore such a filter can now be
statically applied to every search request. A typical use could be the
expression "http_unique_b:true AND www_unique_b:true" which uses the
recently introduced fields http_unique_b and www_unique_b which are true
only for one of the alternatives with/without http(s) and with/without
prefix 'www.' in host names.
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
requests. The internal representation of post-arguments is String and
therefore not appropriate for byte[] object as submitted by file pushes.
Therefore all pushed files are encoded to base64 _after_ uploading with
an http form (you do not need to do that encoding yourself) to hand-over
the byte[] as string in the post argument.
Servlets which read such files must decode the base64 data to get the
original byte[] array.
This is considered as a temporary solution for file uploads and a proper
implementations would need to consider all attributes as handed over as
Objects with either String or byte[] Object instances. This would be a
major code change and is not done at this time here now. The feature was
submitted to realize a feature as pushed with the next commit.
besides adjustments in code it makes the servlet settings in web.xml significant.
This applies to solr, gsa and proxy servlet. There is no longer a default setup in code during init (as jetty 9 checks for double definition).
on proxied pages a link to exit proxy is added to top of page.
Link text can be configured in web.xml init-parameter (see default/web.xml). If missing no link is displayed.
- use JSoup parser for selective rewrite of html body <a href= links only,
instead of regex which rewrites also header href/src links
- this improves display of pages which use header <base> tag
- tags with src attribute are taken from original location (like css) improving display and are not routed trough the indexer
Disadvantage: scripting links will drop out of proxy
Setting of the servlet through web.xml exclusivly (in case one would like to quickly switch back to the YaCyProxyServlet,
leaving the existing code of YaCyProxyServlet untouched available)
- should be investigated in more detail to look for additional implications
Remove "yacyaction" from proxyservlet as it was only needed for removed interaction routines.
