The WSSemanticParsedText extension extends Semantic MediaWiki to provide full-text search with parsed wikitext. This extension replaces the raw wikitext search with stripped parsed wikitext search.

The extension works by overriding the ElasticFactory used while indexing with an ElasticFactory that provides a new Indexer object that overrides the fetchNativeData function to return (stripped) parsed wikitext instead of raw wikitext.

Installation

This extension requires Semantic MediaWiki with ElasticStore configured.

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called WSSemanticParsedText in your extensions/ folder.
• Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing composer install --no-dev in the extension directory. (See task T173141 for potential complications.)
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'WSSemanticParsedText' );
  $smwgElasticsearchConfig["indexer"]["raw.text"] = true;
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
• Run the following script from the root of your installation directory:

php extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/rebuildElasticIndex.php

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
