Hi,
I'm currently upgrading a site to run on 2.6.1 (previously 2.5.1). I have been testing the search facility with textindex replaced with zctextindex.
ZCTextIndex Settings: 1. Okapi BM25 Rank Lexicon Settings: 1. Splitter 2. CaseNormalizer 3. StopWordAndSingleCharRemover
If I do a search on the text 'bike helmet' (without quotes) I would like any item with the word 'bike' or 'helmet' to be returned. (An 'OR' search by default). The user has the ability to choose a drop-down for "any words" or "all words" to over-ride the default to an "OR" or "AND". This passes the chosen 'operator' to the catalog with {'query':'bike helmet', 'operator':'or'}. ZCTextIndex only returns items matching the whole phrase "bike helmet", the original textindex worked fine by matching the individual words.
you have to search 'bike OR helmet'
I have found in zctextindex.py the query options available is only the 'query'. Is there a reason why zctextindex doesn't allow an operator to be passed like textindex? TextIndex was working fine, I am interested in using ZCTextIndex for its improved relevance scoring.
the 'operator' option is not support. you might look at TextIndexNG. It offers a "DumbQueryParser" that should fit your needs. -aj
