Re: [orion-dev] /filesearch not immediately successful

[Mark Macdonald <mamacdon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Hergen,

 

I use the following call to do this:

/filesearch?q=NameLower:pom.xml+Location:/file/user-OrionContent/folder/* 

Can I use the “Regular _expression_” in this call “to force a crawling search”?

As Libing said, the regular _expression_ ("crawling") search is performed by the client, not the server, so it has no explicit server call. However-- you can craft a URL leading to a search page that does (almost) what you want. It would look something like this:

https://your-orion-server/search/search.html#/file/hergen-OrionContent/your/working/directory/,regEx=true,fileType=xml

When you visit this URL in your browser, and click Search, it should find all xml files in the working directory, including pom.xml. Since the crawler currently does not provide a way to filter against a filename, this is the best you can achieve right now.

As Ken said, there's many improvements in the search functionality that we'd like to see…

Regards,
Mark

Dear Ken,

 

your screenshot shows a functionality with which I can search for a specific term in a files content, right?

 

I search for a specific file name („pom.xml“).

I use the following call to do this:

/filesearch?q=NameLower:pom.xml+Location:/file/user-OrionContent/folder/*

 

Can I use the “Regular _expression_” in this call “to force a crawling search”?

If so, how can I do this?

 

Best regards

One workaround to this (yes the indexer can be slow to update changes) is to toggle the "Regular _expression_" option to force a crawling search vs. using the index.

We're not happy with the current indexing scheme and are thinking about alternatives.

Dear orion developers,
 
after cloning or fetching I immediately search for a specific file in the git working directory.
I do it with the /filesearch API.
Unfortunately it takes too long until /filesearch finds the file.
 
I have heard there is an indexer involved. Can this indexer be configured?
 
The long searching time is really harmful.
 
The Orion build is 5.0, build date 26 Feb 2014.
 
Regards
  Hergen Siefken
