Extension talk:MWSearch

What are the advantages/disadvantages of MWSearch extension over Lucene extension ? Thank you.

MWSearch is being maintained and developed, while LuceneSearch is not. The difference are minor. MWSearch has a somewhat better and more consistent interface, e.g. it has galleries for Image namespace hits. --Rainman 15:01, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Does MWSearch support Windows + Apache / Windows + IIS ?
 * No, the search backend does not support windows. --Rainman 13:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * thats not true; i just managed to compile it under ubuntu and now running it on a windows 2003 server --193.27.220.82 13:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

MWSearch over SSL?
Is it possible to use MWSearch over SSL? If so, is there a special configuration needed? (I ask b/c I've been unable to get it working and I'm not permitted to open additional ports)
 * Sorry to answer my own question, but I was able to make this work by editing my host file to point the domain to 127.0.0.1 instead of the external IP. I don't really like this solution so I'm hoping this isn't the preferred method. Does anyone have any suggestions?

MediaWiki_SVN+Lucene-Search2_SVN+MWSearch_SVN = ZERO search results
I've been trying for a very long time now to implement Lucene-search functionality on my MediaWiki site -- I've spent Hours+Days+Weeks+Months troubleshooting this very issue - I'm giving this one last effort, I am hoping SOMEONE will be able to help me, otherwise I am thinking of moving away from MediaWiki entirely (which would make me a very sad panda), and will painstakingly import my MediaWiki into Drupal - then try out their neat sounding-module called Drupal::Search_Attachments module. I have put in over 1 year's worth of work into my MediaWiki-based wiki. I truly need the solution that Extension:Lucene-search+Extension:MWSearch offers, but it has been next to impossible for me to implement on my Slackware server. Who knows, my trouble could very well be something I am doing wrong! I'm human enough to admit that if it turns out to be the case... This is why I come for assistance, I am thinking of posting to the MediaWiki forums too, and linking here (hope that's OK), as I really, really want to get Extension:Lucene-search+Extension:MWSearch working for me! I have been trying to get Extension:Lucene-search+Extension:MWSearch working for over 6months now, and posted alot of my previous issues HERE at the MediaWiki Lucene-Search Talk page, but was unable to find any solutions to my problem. I even tried the newer+more-up-to-date Extension:Lucene-search+Extension:MWSearch setup to no avail. I am BACK, now with a brand new computer (well, it's actually older-hardware, but newly formatted hard-drive), a freshly installed OS, a very basic website with some basic data input to test search functionality This is my current overall system setup; I've gone over and over and OVER the directions per Extension:Lucene-search and Extension:MWSearch pages, I just cannot get this working properly on my box, now that I tried on a new install with new everything, I am convinced this is not a problem on my end, but I could be wrong --- I have documented EVERYTHING I did from install, to now since I've been over this so many times, maybe by me posting my logs here and what I did from begining to end, someone might "see something" I'm missing?? Please HELP! =)

The actual PROBLEM is NO SEARCH RESULTS
Now that I have everything setup, and Lucene-search2-deamon running I tried to search on my website... Fingers crossed.... I type in a known word that IS on the front page, and is also in my XML dump of the MySQL DB (wikidb.xml) --- sure enough, I get ZERO SEARCH RESULTS!! I get this error in my MediaWiki search results page; Search results From AgentDcooper's Wiki You searched for wiki For more information about searching AgentDcooper's Wiki, see Searching AgentDcooper's Wiki. Showing below 0 results starting with #1. No page text matches Note: Unsuccessful searches are often caused by searching for common words like "have" and "from", which are not indexed, or by specifying more than one search term (only pages containing all of the search terms will appear in the result).

Troubleshooting the ZERO results issue
Since I have a console session open with lucene-search2 daemon running, I notice that AS SOON as I hit the SEARCH button after typing in my search phrase (loopback) in my MediaWiki search box, the lucene-search2 daemon console output scrolls the following; 893553 [pool-2-thread-1] INFO org.wikimedia.lsearch.frontend.HttpHandler  - query:/search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10 what:search dbname:svnwikidb term:loopback 893567 [pool-2-thread-1] INFO org.wikimedia.lsearch.search.SearchEngine  - Using NamespaceFilterWrapper wrap: {0} 893592 [pool-2-thread-1] INFO org.wikimedia.lsearch.search.SearchEngine  - search svnwikidb: query=[loopback] parsed=[contents:loopback (title:loopback^6.0 stemtitle:loopback^2.0) (alttitle1:loopback^4.0 alttitle2:loopback^4.0 alttitle3:loopback^4.0) (keyword1:loopback^0.02 keyword2:loopback^0.01 keyword3:loopback^0.0066666664 keyword4:loopback^0.0050 keyword5:loopback^0.0039999997)] hit=[1] in 12ms using IndexSearcherMul:1214736931039


 * I've been troubleshooting this issue for a long time, so I do know how to enable Mediawiki Debuging --- here is what my /var/log/mediawiki/debug_svn_log.txt shows ;;

 * That is the part I am having the most trouble with, IMHO!
 * Follow me here.... Everything actually seems to work, up until the 3rd to last line in the debug! The part that doesn't appear to be working properly is the 3rd from the bottom line =  total [0] hits.
 * This is my reason, WHY I think that is the case, If I actually pull up the web address on my webserver via lynx or any other webbrowser =  http://localhost:8123/search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10  I get the following output!

1 1.0 0 Main_Page


 * That output appears to be saying that THERE IS 1 page that matches!!! The page being Main_Page??!! Does that sound right?? I suspect something MUST be wrong here, it has been pointed out that it may be my CURL library, but that was on an earlier version of Slackware (12.0, I am now running 12.1) - according to my Slackware 12.1 (plain vanilla install, except I upgraded to newer version of PHP) the CURL version/package I am using is curl-7.16.2-i486-1. I don't suspect that CURL is my problem, but I am completely open to anyone's interpretation of my issue at hand, and would love to work with someone on this, and/or come up with a solution... I think it's working, just MWSearch is not passing the data properly to my MediaWiki search???

Does anyone have any ideas here? Please help me, I really don't want to move away from MediaWiki, but I very much need this functionality from MediaWiki! Thanks in advance + sorry to be longwinded, just wanted to ensure I give as much details as possible - if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

PS :: I tried ExtensionFunctions.php SVN-06-25-2008
BTW, in my reading and troubleshooting, I saw something that said I should download the file ExtensionFunctions.php so I pulled this file down from SVN-06-25-2008 ;; > wget http://svn.wikimedia.org /svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ExtensionFunctions.php

> mv ExtensionFunctions.php /var/www/htdocs/wiki-svn06252008

This did not resolve my issue at all, still seeing the same problem. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS?
 * If you add wfDebug(print_r($data, true)); in MWSearch_body.php file right after the $data = Http::get( $searchUrl ); line, does that give something useful in your debug log? Or does it give a null? 83.81.5.126 15:35, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also putting a wfDebug("Raw results [$totalHits]\n"); before $totalHits = intval( $totalHits ); might give useful results 83.81.5.126 15:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)


 * thanks for the help! so I tried both suggestions, but I obviously don't think I know how to understand the log, but it sure looks like it's put more info in there with your suggestions.


 * First I aded wfDebug(print_r($data, true)); in the extensions/MWSearch/MWSearch_body.php file, right after the $data = Http::get( $searchUrl ); line
 * my debug is now outputting the following upon a search that shows no results in my MediaWiki ;;

 * I am going to try your 2nd suggestion now, again thanks for helping, it really means alot to me! Agentdcooper


 * OK, this is what my debug log shows when I put wfDebug("Raw results [$totalHits]\n"); before $totalHits = intval( $totalHits ); in the extensions/MWSearch/MWSearch_body.php file while leaving your 1st suggestion in = wfDebug(print_r($data, true)); ;

 * I hope that this helps, to me it sounds looks like the "Raw results" are nadda/zero, why would that be? I would love to know how to correct this if possible! any assistance you can provide is more then helpful! --Agentdcooper 01:02, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I definitely think there is something wrong with HTTP::get. More specifically I think MediaWiki is doing something wrong with proxies... Try to disable CURL by replacing if ( function_exists( 'curl_init' ) ) { in includes/HttpFunctions.php with if ( function_exists( 'curl_init' ) && false) {.
 * The problem is probably due to the fact that you are running Lucene on localhost, while Wikimedia uses Lucene on foreign hosts and there might be a bug with HttpFunctions on localhost, but not on port 80. 83.81.5.126 18:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for sticking around to help (whoever u are!) I am thrilled to see you still here to help me!!! I think you are dead-on, I was thinking it might be something with MWSearch extension, but by the sounds of it u are thinking it's an issue with the way MediaWiki uses HTTP:get? I like where yr going, and I am willing to do anything you suggest to try to isolate this, as I really, really want this to work, more than anything!


 * As u suggested, in file /var/www/htdocs/wiki-svn06252008/includes/HttpFunctions.php I changed line 25 FROM ;

if ( function_exists( 'curl_init' ) ) {
 * TO ;

if ( function_exists( 'curl_init' ) && false) {
 * I then saved the updated file (and made a backup of the original), did another update/import of my wiki DB (php maintenance/dumpBackupInit.php --current --quiet > wikidb.xml && java -cp /usr/local/search/ls2/LuceneSearch.jar org.wikimedia.lsearch.importer.Importer -s wikidb.xml svnwikidb  which, BTW, works just fine). From here I went to my wiki main page, and ran a search for a word that is on the Main_Page 3 times, and also is in my XML dump of my wiki DB too, 3 times.... The search came up with this error (again, soo sad) ;

You searched for loopback For more information about searching NOC Information Archive, see Help. No page text matches

 * So again, I am able to pull up the link listed in the debug file, with the line beginning with "Http::request: GET" = http://localhost:8123/search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10 - this pulls up the following (which sure seems like at least THAT part of Lucene search capabilities is working!);

1 1.0 0 Main_Page


 * I really think you are definately onto something here, I am just not sure where to go next here... any more assistance you can give is much appreciated, I think others may run into this same issue, so who knows maybe you helped identify a bug?! thanks again! --Agentdcooper 19:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * (the ip was me) Ok this is really strange. From this point I'm very sure that something goes wrong with MediaWiki's HTTP fetching capabilities. I just don't know what. Two more ways to test this (you don't need to reinstall anything or something else):


 * Open a terminal and change the directory to your wiki base: cd /var/www/htdocs/wiki-svn06252008
 * Start a PHP debugging session: php maintenance/eval.php
 * See whether you get something with the following command: $sock = fsockopen('127.0.0.1', 8123); fwrite($sock, "GET /search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10 HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n"); print fread($sock, 8192);
 * If that returns proper results, test whether MediaWiki works properly using: print Http::get('http://127.0.0.1:8123/search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10');
 * If that still works try: print Http::get('http://localhost:8123/search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10');
 * I hope we get something out that. Bryan 20:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Excellent! That first suggestion seemed to actually give me valid results!;

<(root@nen-tftp:/var/www/htdocs/wiki-svn06252008)> cd /var/www/htdocs/wiki-svn06252008 <(root@nen-tftp:/var/www/htdocs/wiki-svn06252008)> php maintenance/eval.php > $sock = fsockopen('127.0.0.1', 8123); fwrite($sock, "GET /search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10 HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n"); print fread($sock, 8192); HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/plain 1 1.0 0 Main_Page


 * Now I'm not 100% sure what it is you are asking me to do with the other suggestions regarding the print function, I just tried to issue the print function while still in php maintenance/eval.php context, after I issued the above, I never exited from the same php session/command-line, and continued on with the following, which did not return anything (I just wasn't sure if that was what you meant for me to do...) ;

> print Http::get('http://127.0.0.1:8123/search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10'); > print Http::get('http://localhost:8123/search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10'); >


 * If I did that incorrectly, please tell me =)   I, though, think I did what u requested, and it looks like using Http::get with either 127.0.0.1, or just localhost, MediaWiki is reporting back ZERO results =(   Anything else you wanna have me try, again I am totally here for anything you suggest! Thanks much. peace --Agentdcooper 01:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah that is what I asked. Ok we can conclude from this that: 1) PHP can connect to Lucene properly and 2) Your HTTP fetch capabilities are broken. I'm not sure what we can do about it. The proper way is of course to fix the HTTP functions, but I don't know how we can do that. The other option is to write a new HTTP layer which will surely work. Bryan 08:45, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you Bryan - you are an tireless Helper and a Saint!! I thank you for your assistance, it looks like you nailed it --- at least PHP is working properly, I wonder if others users out there are running into this issue as well? I've tried multiple computers yet my problem stayed the same (detailed all above) --- the only thing that was similar on my different computers was/is my base-linux distro = Slackware. Yet, I have gone thru brand new installs of each Slackware OS version 11.x thru the recently released stable Slackware v12.1 - I think what you are saying is that it's not my OS that is the problem, but MediaWiki's HTTP layer? I highly doubt I am sophisticated enough to rewrite a new HTTP layer/HTTP functions for MediaWiki, so I may just sadly have to move away from my beloved MediaWiki... I was afraid of this.


 * Again Bryan and everyone else who has helped me, you have been extremely self-less and helpful to me -- I just don't know if I will ever run into someone of your caliber in the Drupal community (even though I know Drupal does have a thriving FS/OSS community) the next time I run into (let's say) a Durpal problem - as your knowledge has been instrumental in helping me understand the problem at hand here. I hope the MediaWiki guru's read this, but I kinda doubt it....


 * Where to go from here, as far as hoping this gets fixed = I have no clue, but I hope between your and my postings here, someone will identify the source issue, and hopefully come out with a fix, or at least a work-around - but I have no clue when that'll be... Thanks MediaWiki team for the good times and all the wiki pages you served for me over the years - it was a long run, but with a heavy heart I must move on! I will continue to watch this page, and hope for a fix, time will tell, I just hope it's not too far away. Peace --Agentdcooper 09:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Answer
Hello, I have tried to read through the bunch of information you gave. My Opinion: Your Lucene is running right, because when you "manually" query your Lucene Listener it returns you "MAIN_PAGE". So my advice is that you don't change the conf of your Lucene. I think the problem is inside your Extension MWSearch. Have you tried to run a fresh 1.12 Installation only with the MWSearch Extension to access your existing Lucene Daemon? I think you need nothing more than your MWSearch Extension and no "ExtensionFunctions". Later on I am trying to get more information about your Problem. I am focusing on your MWSearch Extension.... --Bisato 06:24, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately I have tried that many times in the past when initially troubleshooting I have alot of info posted HERE. Now that page doesn't indicate that I was running 1.12.0, but I can assure you I have tried it many times with just Extension:MWSearch, I get the exact same results I am posting on this page, and the previous page. I have always obtained these results, using MWSearch no matter what OS version I run (on Slackware 11.x thru current stable version 12.1) I have tried this out on multiple Slackware servers, all obtaining the SAME results. I think yr right, I think Lucene-search2 is working properly, just MWSearch is not passing the proper parameters to Mediawiki. I'd love to troubleshoot and fix this, but I just don't know where to go next. Do you have any other suggestions per chance?
 * Thanks to all who've helped! I hope we can get to the bottom of this! peace --Agentdcooper 10:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Same issue?
Has there been any progress on this issue? I'm encountering what seems to be the same situation. Everything seems configured right and the lsearch daemon is starting up fine, but there are no search results.

 * I wish u the best of luck here Joezoo, I have been troubleshooting this issue for what seems to be like a year now, with not much luck. The users Bryan and Bisato were monumental in their assistance in helping me troubleshoot the issue, I think yr best bet to find out if u have the same issue I have been having since MediaWiki v1.9.1 all the way up-thru today is to follow Bryan's suggestions, which I can summarize here ;;


 * Open a terminal and change the "MediaWiki" base directory : (for me it was) cd /var/www/htdocs/wiki-svn06252008
 * Start a PHP debugging session: php maintenance/eval.php
 * See whether you get something with the following command: $sock = fsockopen('127.0.0.1', 8123); fwrite($sock, "GET /search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10 HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n"); print fread($sock, 8192);
 * If that returns proper results, test whether MediaWiki works properly using: print Http::get('http://127.0.0.1:8123/search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10');
 * If that still works try: print Http::get('http://localhost:8123/search/svnwikidb/loopback?namespaces=0&offset=0&limit=20&version=2&iwlimit=10');


 * Take Bryan's suggestions but apply them to yr own MediaWiki install, u may need to go so far as enabling MediaWiki debugging to find out the specific paths for troubleshooting as I had to.... the moral of my story is I moved to Drupal, as the Lucene tool was essential for me and my MediaWiki project, but in all the time I've given to posting my problem here, and SEVERAL other places on the internet I never found a solution -- and as Bryan pointed out "The proper way is of course to fix the HTTP functions, but I don't know how we can do that. The other option is to write a new HTTP layer which will surely work." I believe he is right. I just am not the person to do such a thing due to inexperience in this area(s)! I continue to watch this page to this day hoping someone will come out with a solution as a Lucene-based tool like Extension:Lucene-search+Extension:MWSearch is EXACTLY what I have always been looking for, for a MediaWiki based wiki. good luck + peace --Agentdcooper 00:41, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks Agentdcooper. Here's the thing: I've got LuceneSearch working now. I can see the queries as they occur in my terminal window. When I disable it in my LocalSettings file, searching for terms like "the" return 0 results (as the default MW search can't find "stop words"), and when I enable it again the search works. Since $wgLuceneHost is set to my server's IP address, I can actually use the address in the MW log to see the results over HTTP. I guess really, for me, the thing that's not working is $wgEnableMWSuggest -- the list of dropdown results that appear automatically as you type a search phrase. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? --Joezoo 14:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind! I got it working! Turns out, when I updated from the last version of MediaWiki, I didn't copy the new contents of skins/common, which included the mwsuggest and new ajax files. But now it's working! --Joezoo 15:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * @Joezoo WOW! very cool! u are giving me a glimmer of hope here =)
 * question for you, are u using mediawiki + lucene-search2 daemon and mwsearch and a single host environment, ie. are u running the apps all on the same server?
 * if you answer yes, could I can convince you to tell me which versions of the following apps/software you are running?
 * version of Lucene-search2 daemon, MWSearch extension, which operating system/disto + version u have and last but not least - what version of curl do u have? by answering these questions, I will try to duplicate yr work and see if I myself can get it working, I've much been wanting to get this whole setup running, and maybe by duplicating yr setup/config I could get do it, if u wouldn't mind answering a few little questions. peace --Agentdcooper 18:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure I can help, but I just sent you an email. --Joezoo 21:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Possible solution
I had the same problem--however, in my case, it was due to the fact that I'm behind a firewall, and therefore have $wgHTTPProxy set. Since my Lucene server wasn't being recognized as a local URL, it was attempting to use the proxy (which, needless to say, couldn't find it). I solved this by adding: $wgConf->localVHosts[] = 'wikey-local';

Unfortunately, there appears to be a bug in HttpFunctions.php. If the URL is local, it still tries to use localhost as a proxy! Commenting out the following line: curl_setopt( $c, CURLOPT_PROXY, 'localhost:80' ); caused everything to then work like a charm. --Cmreigrut 19:24, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Indexer thread problem
Running MW 1.13 + MWSearch r36482 + Lucene-search 2.1.1 on Ubuntu.

I've been able to set up MWSearch for search a build complete index but indexer thread doesn't update/delete pages from index. After running MWSearchUpdater::updatePage or MWSearchUpdater::deletePage I'm getting following errors at lsearchd debug screen:

232567977 [XML-RPC-0] ERROR org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcStreamServer - execute: Error while performing request org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcNoSuchHandlerException: No such handler: searchupdater.updatePage at org.apache.xmlrpc.server.AbstractReflectiveHandlerMapping.getHandler(AbstractReflectiveHandlerMapping.java:195) at org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServerWorker.execute(XmlRpcServerWorker.java:42) at org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcServer.execute(XmlRpcServer.java:83) at org.apache.xmlrpc.server.XmlRpcStreamServer.execute(XmlRpcStreamServer.java:182) at org.apache.xmlrpc.webserver.Connection.run(Connection.java:175) at org.apache.xmlrpc.util.ThreadPool$MyThread.runTask(ThreadPool.java:71) at org.apache.xmlrpc.util.ThreadPool$MyThread.run(ThreadPool.java:87)

Interesting thing is that some messages like MWSearchUpdater::getStatus go through fine.

I'm downloading source code to look at it, but maybe someone has an idea what's happening already.
