Easy text search using Elastic Search
Jan 25, 2012 Web-development
Recently I used to add very plain text search to ne.no and since I’m using Elastic Search with ElasticaBundle it was easy to achieve.
$textQuery = new \Elastica_Query_QueryString();
$textQuery->setFields(array("address", "name", "city", "searchPartNames", "searchCompanyName"));
$textQuery->setDefaultOperator("AND");
$textQuery->setQueryString($selectedText);
$tmpTexts = array();
foreach (explode(" ", $selectedText) as $oneWord) {
$oneWord = trim($oneWord);
if ($oneWord == "")
continue;
if (preg_match("/^[0-9]+/", $oneWord)) {
$tmpTexts[] = $oneWord;
} else {
$tmpTexts[] = $oneWord . "*";
}
}
$selectedText = implode(" ", $tmpTexts);
Added star-wildcard after all words, but not after numbers, so that user is able to find correct building address located on Drammensgt or Drammensvn if he searches for “Drammens 171″.
