Site-Searching in Joomla 4.0
- 1. Site-Searching in Joomla 4.0
- 2. About me • Hannes Papenberg • Joomla Freelancer • Longtime Joomla contributor • Münster, Germany • https://www.joomlager.de
- 3. History of Finder • Originally JXtended Smart Search • Added to Joomla in 2.5 (2012) • Very small changes only since then
- 4. What does Finder do? • Index-based Search • Word-stemming • Unified search interface
- 5. Problems of Finder • Very slow when indexing • Not especially fast when searching • Memory-intensive • Only supports some languages for indexing • Only supports 3 languages for stemming
- 6. Changes in Joomla 4.0 ...hopefully • Faster when indexing • Full language support
- 7. Less tables • Artificial sharding in Finder tables • #__finder_links_termsX-tables • Performance drain
- 8. Less indexed terms • Currently indexes every term and every term tuple of length 2 and 3 • These term tuples should be simply dropped • Support for more Stopwords
- 9. Tokenised and Stemmed terms • Support more languages when tokenising texts • Support more languages for stemming words
- 10. Less Search Power ...easier to use • Finder does provide complex search terms • But do we need something like that? • For enterprise usecases, use enterprise software (Solr)
