RE: [Zope] Indexing: ZopeSplitter and numbers

I think I'd have to jump on the bandwagon and agree that numbers should not be stripped. I'll second the idea of a fish-bowl proposal. In a full text search of classified ads, for example, one wants to search for a 2000 Ford F150; in Zope 2.3.x, Splitter.c stripped out both 2000 and F150. The change was easy: just replace isalpha() with isalnum() in the relevant part of the code. I'm not sure what the story is in 2.4, but it sounds like people searching for a year 2000 truck are going to find ads for ones built in 1982. I use a modified Splitter.so that allows numbers, as well as one-character words, so people can search for "c programmer" in the classified ads. I'm curious about a few other things (that I really haven't tested): - How does Zope's splitter handle hyphenated words? - Is there a way to split words with period characters reliably, supposing I wanted to be able to search for terms like "yahoo.com" or "Splitter.so" or "Microsoft .NET" in text? I would think that the appropriate default behavior for ZopeSplitter would be relaxed about stripping out things.

Well, not really an issue now. Following Tom P's advice (and something that should have been obvious, I added new indexes to the 3 tables I was pulling from and the query went from 35 seconds to 2 inside Zope using MySQL...I can live with that. The last Access connection will be dropped within minutes... Thanks to all who responded...

But just until the next valid query comes in, right? Can you send an example?

How do I get a catalog to index numbers correctly?
by Rob Foster 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

I've got around 1000 items in my ZODB that have been indexed by several fields - keyword, description, etc. I've got a search page that allows searches on these fields, but when search for items using numerical keywords, I get no results. Example: I've got "Object123" with these keywords: object object123 123 Object123 comes up when I search "object" or "object123" but not when I search for "123" by itself. I can see the numerical keywords in the dictionary too. Please help. Thanks, Rob
