    • Search Functionality

    Posted by arun_akb posts: 62

    Hi,

    We need to implement a Search functionality on our Wiki site that allows:
    - Searching for all words of a search
    - Searching for the exact phrase
    - Searching for any one of the words
    - Operators to perform search. For example, OR to search either of the words, AND to perform both of the words, and Double quotes (" ") to search for the exact phrase.

    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    Regards,
    Arun.

    IMHO TikiWiki sucks when it comes to searching. There is an alternative module to integrate GoogleSearch for your site, but it's not that much better .... See the administration section for modules.

    Hi Bernhard,

    Thanks for the reply. I have tried the Google Search module - this module allows searching in the Internet. What I need actually is a search functionality that searches within my intranet site.

    Any ideas?

    Regards,
    Arun.

    There are 100s of search engines that you could use instead (see http://www.searchtools.com/), but (and this is the issue that I've had)... How do you incorporate Tiki's security/permissions into these third-party tools. The ones that I've played with will spider the site as an Anonymous user only. The one nice thing about Tiki's search engine is that it fitlers your results based on the page's permissions — you'll only see the results that you have permission to see.

    If anyone has found a better search engine that respects object permissions, I'd love to hear about it, too!

    I'm working on a solution that utilizes Google CSE for one of my Tikis. There is very little non-public content, so I don't need to worry about permissions. Once I get it working it might be nice to add to doc.tw.o.
