Help:CirrusSearch/fr

CirrusSearch is a new search engine for MediaWiki. The Wikimedia Foundation migrated to CirrusSearch since it features key improvements over the previously used search engine, LuceneSearch. Cette page décrit les changements liés à cette transition.

Quelles sont les améliorations ?
Le nouveau moteur de recherche apporte trois améliorations principales par rapport à l'ancien, à savoir :


 * Meilleur support pour la recherche dans différentes langues.
 * Des mises à jour plus rapides pour l'indexation, ce qui veut dire que les changements seront visibles dans les résultats de recherche plus vite.
 * Expanding templates, meaning that all content from a template is now reflected in search results.

Mises à jour
Updates to the search index are done in near real time. You should be able to search for your changes as soon as you make them. Changes to templates should take effect in articles that include the template in a few minutes. The templates changes use the job queue, so performance may vary. A null edit to the article will force the change through, but that shouldn't be required if everything is going well.

Suggestions de recherche
The search suggestions you get when you type into the search box that drops down candidate pages is substantively the same with articles sorted by the number of incoming links. Worth noting is that if you start your search with ~ we won't find any articles as you type and you can safely hit enter at any time to jump to the search results page.

ASCII/accents/diacritics folding is turned on for English text, but there are some formatting problems with the result. See 52656.

Recherche de texte brut
La recherche de texte brut (qui vous amène sur la page de recherche) s'effectue dans les titres, les redirections, les titres de paragraphe ou le texte des pages donc ne devrait présenter aucune surprise. Le changement le plus important ici est que c'est le contenu des modèles dans les pages en question qui est pris en compte, plutôt que le wikicode du modèle lui-même.

Stemming
There is support for dozens of languages, but all languages are wanted. There is a list of currently supported languages at elasticsearch.org; see their documentation on contributing to submit requests or patches.

Filtres (intitle:, et incategory:)


We've tightened up the syntax around these quite a bit.


 * intitle:foo
 * Find articles whose title contains foo. Stemming is enabled for foo.
 * intitle:"fine line"
 * Find articles whose title contains fine then line. Stemming is enabled. Matches The finest (lines) but not The finest ever lines.
 * intitle:foo bar
 * Find articles whose title contains foo and whose title or text contains bar.
 * -intitle:foo bar
 * Trouve les articles dont le titre ne contient pas « foo » ou dont le texte contient « bar »
 * intitle: foo bar
 * Erreur de syntaxe, revient à chercher les articles dont le titre ou le texte contient « intitle: », « foo » et « bar ».
 * incategory:Musique
 * Trouve les articles de la Catégorie:Musique
 * incategory:"histoire musicale"
 * Trouve les articles qui sont dans la Catégorie:Histoire_musicale
 * incategory:"musicals" incategory:"1920"
 * Find articles that are in both Category:Musicals and Category:1920
 * -incategory:"musicals" incategory:"1920"
 * Find articles that are not in Category:Musicals but are in Category:1920
 * cow*
 * Find articles whose title or text contains words that start with cow
 * linksto:Help:CirrusSearch
 * find articles that link to a page
 * -linksto:Help:CirrusSearch CirrusSearch
 * find articles that mention CirrusSearch but do not link to the page Help:CirrusSearch

prefix:
La syntaxe prefix: dans sa forme passée est utilisée pour un tas de fonctionnalités et a donc été conservée aussi fidèlement que possible.

Notez que les anciennes règles consistant à mettre prefix: à la fin de la requête s'appliquent encore.

morelike:
The  query works by choosing a set of words in the input articles and run a query with the chosen words. You can tune the way it works by adding the following parameters to the search results URL: These settings can be made persistent by overriding  in Help:System message.
 * Find articles whose text is most similar to the text of the given articles.
 * Find articles about stinging insects.
 * Find templates about regex searching for template usage on the wiki.
 * Find articles about stinging insects.
 * Find templates about regex searching for template usage on the wiki.
 * Find templates about regex searching for template usage on the wiki.
 * : Minimum number of documents (per shard) that need a term for it to be considered.
 * : Maximum number of documents (per shard) that have a term for it to be considered.
 * : Maximum number of terms to be considered.
 * : Minimum number of times the term appears in the input to doc to be considered. For small fields this value should be 1.
 * : Minimal length of a term to be considered. Defaults to 0.
 * : The maximum word length above which words will be ignored. Defaults to unbounded (0).
 * (comma separated list of values): These are the fields to use. Allowed fields are,  ,  ,  ,   and.
 * ( | ): use only the field data. Defaults to : the system will extract the content of the   field to build the query.
 * : The percentage of terms to match on. Defaults to 0.3 (30 percent).
 * Example:

Namespace
A search domain consisting of one namespace can be specified at the beginning of a query. Two or more namespaces may be set at the search results page, Special:Search, in the Advanced dialog. This can be set for the query, or for the user's default search domain. Enter a namespace name, or enter, or enter a colon    for mainspace.

Namespace aliases are accepted. For the File namespace,  is accepted.


 * Find articles in the Talknamespace whose title or text contains the word "foo".
 * Find articles in the File namespace on this wiki and commons whose title or text contains the word "foo".
 * Add  to the File namespace query to remove the results from commons.
 * Find articles in the File namespace on this wiki and commons whose title or text contains the word "foo".
 * Add  to the File namespace query to remove the results from commons.
 * Add  to the File namespace query to remove the results from commons.

You cannot use an interwiki prefix as a namespace to search other projects.

Did you mean
"Did you mean" suggestions are designed to notice if you misspell an uncommon phrase that happens to be an article title. If so, they'll let you know. They also seem to suggest more things than they ought to sometimes.

Prefer phrase matches
If you don't have too much special syntax in your query we'll give perfect phrase matches a boost. I'm being intentionally vague because I'm not sure exactly what "too much special syntax" should be. Right now if you add any explicit phrases to your search we'll turn off this feature.

Fuzzy search
Putting a ~ after a search term (but not double quotes) activates fuzzy search. You can also put a number from 0 to 1 to control the "fuzziness" fraction, e.g. nigtmare~.9 or lighnin~.1 or lighnin~0.1. Closer to one is less fuzzy.

Phrase search and proximity
Surrounding some words with quotes declares that you are searching for those words close together. You can add a ~ and then a number after the second quote to control just how close you mean. The default "closeness" is zero. One means one extra word allowed, and so on. For more than two words in the phrase, the closeness equals the total number of extra words, provided that all the words are also in order left to right.

For the closeness value of words given in right to left order, count and discard all the extra words, then add twice the the total count of remaining words minus one (in other words, add twice the number of segments). For the full proximity algorithm, see Elastic Search.

An explicit AND is required between two phrases because of the "inner" quotation marks.

Guillemets et recherche exacte
Les guillemets autour de la recherche impliquent qu'elle soit exacte. Vous pouvez ajouter un tilde ~ avant les guillemets pour éviter ce comportement et revenir à celui par défaut.

prefer-recent:
You can give recently edited articles a boost in the search results by adding "prefer-recent:" to the beginning of your search. By default this will scale 60% of the score exponentially with the time since the last edit, with a half life of 160 days. This can be modified like this: "prefer-recent:,". proportion_of_score_to_scale must be a number between 0 and 1 inclusive. half_life_in_days must be greater than 0 but allows decimal points. This number works pretty well if very small. I've tested it around .0001, which is 8.64 seconds.

Ce sera activé par défaut sur Wikinews, mais il n'y a pas de raison à ce que vous ne puissiez pas l'utiliser dans vos recherches.

hastemplate:
You can find pages that use a certain template by adding the filter  to the search. We provide for the usual "syntactic sugar" of template calls. This means the lenient pagename and fullpagename capitalization works, and the main namespace abbreviation, ":" works. For example to find which pages transclude Quality image the full search (in all your preferred namespaces) can be: , and for that same template name in the main namespace, this works. You can omit the quotes if the template title does not contain a space. will filter pages that do not contain that template.

For wikitext that calls a template directly, you can use insource:, but hastemplate: searches the "post-expansion inclusion", so hastemplate: can find a template acting only temporarily as a "secondary template" or "meta-template", which are seen in neither the source nor content, ( but only included as a helper to any other template producing the final content). All content from a template is now reflected in search results is still the relevant philosophy here.

boost-templates:
Vous pouvez accorder une importance plus grande aux pages qui contiennent un modèle donné. Cela peut être réalisé directement dans la recherche via  ou en modifiant le message système   ce qui appliquera cette importance pour toutes les recherches. remplace le contenu de  s'il est spécifié. La syntaxe est un peu étrange mais a été choisie à des fins de simplicité. Quelques exemples :


 * Trouve les fichiers dans la Catégorie:Chine ordonnés d'abord par la qualité des images.
 * Trouve les fichiers dans la Catégorie:Chine ordonnés d'abord par la qualité des images.


 * Find files in the China category sorting quality images first and low quality images last.
 * Find files in the China category sorting quality images first and low quality images last.


 * Find files about popcorn sorting quality images first and low quality images last. Remember that through the use of the  message this can be reduced to just.
 * Find files about popcorn sorting quality images first and low quality images last. Remember that through the use of the  message this can be reduced to just.

Don't try to add decimal points to the percentages. They don't work and search scoring is such that they are unlikely to matter much.

A word of warning about : if you add really really big or small percentages they can poison the full text scoring. Think, for example, if enwiki boosted featured articles by a million percent. Then searches for terms mentioned in featured articles would find the featured articles before exact title matches of the terms. Phrase matching would be similarly blown away so a search like  would find a featured article with those words scattered throughout it instead of the article for Brave New World.

Sorry for the inconsistent  in the name. Sorry again but the quotes are required on this one. Sorry also for the funky syntax. Sorry we don't try to emulate the template transclusion syntax like we do with.

insource:
This can pick up template arguments, URLs, links, html, etc. It has two forms, one is an indexed search, and the other is regex based.

Tip: Instead of running a bare insource:/regexp/, these return much much faster when you limit the regexp search-domain to the results of one or more index-based searches. An "exact string" regexp search is a basic search; it will simply "quote" the entire regexp, or "backslash-escape" all non-alphanumeric characters in the string. All regexp searches also require that the user develop a simple filter to generate the search domain for the regex engine to search:



Any search without a namespace or prefix searches your default search domain, settable at Special:Search. It is commonly reset by power users to All namespaces, but if this occurs for a bare regexp search, then on a large wiki it will probably incur an HTML timeout before completing the search.

A regex search actually scours each page character-by character. By contrast, an indexed search actually queries a few records from a database separate from the wiki, and provides nearly instant results. When using a regex, include other search terms to limit the regex search domain as much as possible. There are many search terms that use an index and so instantly provide a highly refined search domain for the /regexp/. In order of general effectiveness:


 * insource:"" with quotation marks, duplicating the regexp except without the slashes or escape characters, is ideal.
 * intitle, incategory, and linksto are excellent filters.
 * "word1 word2 word3", with or without the quotation marks, are OK.
 * hastemplate: if it produces less than a few hundred thousand pages, is OK.
 * namespace: is practically useless, but may enable a slow regexp search to complete.

The prefix operator is especially useful with a { {FULLPAGENAME}} or a subdirectory argument. To develop a new regexp, or refine a complex regexp, use  in any edit box. Search terms that do not increase the efficiency of a regexp search are the page-scoring operators: morelike, boost-template, and prefer-recent.

==== Metacharacters ==== This section covers how to escape metacharacters.

For the actual meaning of the metacharacters see the explanation of the syntax. For the formal definition see the Lucene grammar for regular expressions.

The use of a regexp to search for an exact string that includes non-alphanumeric characters is a basic search. It finds regular expression metacharacters literally by placing the entire regexp inside double quotation marks, which blindly "quotes" or "escapes" any possible metacharacters from their advanced search meaning. An advanced search usually escapes metacharacters one at a time with a backslash.

For example  matches a '2', a literal plus sign, another '2', an equals sign, a '4' and a literal dot, with one possible space character between each math term. The equals sign has no special, metacharacter meaning in CirrusSearch, and so need not be escaped, but its OK to escape or quote any character because it basically has no effect. An exact-string search usually "quotes" the regexp because this will neutralize all metacharacter meanings.

Inside double quotes you must use backslash-escape to escape a double-quote character. For example .

Inside the regexp you must use the backslash-escape to quote any slash character that is not delimiting the regexp. For example .

The square-bracket notation for creating your own character-class also escapes metacharacters. To target a literal right square bracket in your character-class pattern, it must be backslash escaped, otherwise it can be interpreted as the closing delimiter of the character-class pattern definition. The first position of a character class will also escape the right square bracket. Inside the delimiting square brackets of a character class, the dash character also has special meaning (range) but can it too can be included literally in the class the same way as the right square bracket can. For example both of these patterns target character that is either a dash or a right square bracket or a dot:  or.

Advanced example
For example, using metacharacters to find the usage of a template called Val having, inside the template call, an unnamed parameter containing a possibly signed, three to four digit number, possibly surrounded by space characters, AND on the same page, inside a template Val call, a named argument "fmt=commas" having any allowable spaces around it, (it could be the same template call, or a separate one):



It is fast because it uses two filters so that every page the regexp crawls has the highest possible potential. Assuming your search domain is set to ALL, it searches the entire wiki, because it offers no namespace or prefix.

Auxiliary text
Cirrus considers some text in the page to be "auxiliary" to what the page is actually about. Examples include table contents, image captions, and "This article is about the XYZ. For ZYX see ZYX" style links. You can also mark article text as auxiliary by adding the  class to the html element containing the text.

Auxiliary text is worth less than the rest of the article text and it is in the snippet only if there are no main article snippets matching the search.

Lead text
Cirrus assumes that non-auxiliary text that is between the top of the page and the first heading is the "lead in" paragraph. Matches from the lead in paragraph are worth more in article ranking.

Commons search
By default when the search contains the file namespace, Cirrus will search commons as well. You can disable this behavior by adding  to the search. If you are using a namespace prefix to select the namespace the syntax looks like. If you aren't using a namespace prefix to select the namespace then the syntax looks like.
