Question

I’m working on the application at http://demos.zatechcorp.com/codeigniter/

In its current incarnation running on my machine, I loaded the ZendFramework inside Codeigniter, and generated an index, like this:

    // ... Some code that loads all the markets     foreach ($markets as $market)     {         $doc = new Zend_Search_Lucene_Document();         // Id for retrieval         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::UnIndexed('id', $market->id));         // Store document URL to identify it in search result.         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text('url', $market->permalink));         // Index document content         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::UnStored('contents', $market->description));         // Title         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text('title', $market->title));         // Phone         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Keyword('phone', $market->phone));         // Fax         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Keyword('fax', $market->fax));         // Street         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Keyword('street', $market->street));         // City         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Keyword('city', $market->city));         // State         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Keyword('state', $market->state));         // Zip         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Keyword('zip', $market->zip));         // Type         $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::UnIndexed('type', 'market'));          // Store Document         $index->addDocument($doc);     } 

In my search, I do this:

    $hits    = $index->find($q); 

This works with simple words, but when I want to do a search like "Sheba Foods" (quotes included), it returns one result, but the wrong one, which doesn’t even have the word "Sheba".

I moved away from MySQL full-text search because of its obvious problems, and can’t make any headway with this.

I’ve been looking at the Zend_Search_Lucene_Search_QueryParser::parse() method. Does the answer lie in this method?

Answer 1

I figured it out. With Lucene, you can add a field with the name ‘id’, but retrieving id from a hit gives you something different — I’ll guess this is the id of the search term within the entire search results.

What I had to do in this case was use a different field name like this:

    // Id for retrieval     $doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::UnIndexed('item_id', $market->id));
