iFind Search Portal

#iFind #System Administration #Caché #InterSystems Natural Language Processing (NLP, iKnow)

A simple and rather automated search portal leveraging iFind capabilities for rich text search in 2016.1. It has simple faceting, result ranking, highlighting of search results etc and just works off any table you point it to that has an iFind index by appending ?t=MyPackage.TableName to the URL.

See also https://github.com/bdeboe/isc-iknow-ifindportal for more details and the latest version.

Hi Evgeny, Jack,

 

Ranking is new in 2016.1, and will indeed allow you to retrieve a score expressing how well a record matches a search string. A packagename.tablename_indexnameRank function gets automatically generated when  you compile your class with an iFind index and can be invoked as follows:

SELECT %ID, 
Title,
FullText,
SomePackage.TheTable_MyIndexRank(%ID, 'cocktail* OR (hammock AND NOT bees)')
FROM SomePackage.TheTable
WHERE %ID %FIND search_index(MyIndex, 'cocktail* OR (hammock AND NOT bees)')
ORDER BY 4 DESC

There are no public demo servers exposing this functionality at this time.

 

regards,
benjamin
