HTML Phrase Searching

[Marvin Herbold]

Any plans to add support for HTML phrase searching?

We are running into the issue where the search feature is becoming less and
less useful as we add more more pages to our documentation.

For example, the terms "full day" when searched, currently returns dozens
of hits matching both "full" and "day" in separate sentences. But the full
phrase of "full day" actually only appears in one document.

The ability to have phrase searching (perhaps by using quotes in the search
bar) would be huge for us.

Hi Marvin,

It might been requested, but we don't have concrete plan for it.

Thanks,
Takeshi KOMIYA

It does not look like it would be much effort to add full phrase searching
support.

Basically in somewhere searchtools.js, check if the search terms include
quotes and if it does then in the ajax callback just discard all results
that don't have the full search term in it.

BTW I see some code support for "excluded" words but when I try testing it
out using the search terms "full -day" (meaning results with "day" should
be excluded) it does not work. It displays all docs with both "full" and
"day".

Sounds good. We always welcome your contribution :-)

I see what you did there. :-)

OK here is my contribution - I added exact phrase searching, and also fixed
your broken excluded keywords feature.

My version of your searchtools.js file can be found
here: https://alpha-dev.usked.com/manual/internal/_static/mysearchtools.js

For exact phrase search matching I updated the code in 2 places, and you
can find them by searching for /* CUSTOM SUPPORT FOR EXACT PHRASE SEARCH */

For the fix for excluded keywords, I also updated the code in 2 places. It
was actually broken for 2 reasons. The splitQuery function stripped out
the "-" so everything that checks for it later on obviously would not find
them any more. Then later on, there is a bug with using $u.contains - it
does a type-aware exact value match, but you were comparing an array of
ints against a string. A simple typecast to an int fixes this part. You
can find the 2 places by searching for /* FIX FOR EXCLUDED KEYWORDS */

Hi Marvin,

Thanks,
Could you modify it as a new pull request? I'm not good at JavaScript,
so I can't evaluate it correctly.
But other maintainers might be able to do it, I believe.
