KinoSearch::Docs::TutoUser(Contributed Perl DocumKinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial(3)NAMEKinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial - Step-by-step introduction to KinoSearch
toolset.
ABSTRACT
Explore KinoSearch's basic functionality by starting with a minimalist
CGI search app based on KSx::Simple and transforming it, step by step,
into an "advanced search" interface utilizing more flexible core
modules like KinoSearch::Index::Indexer and
KinoSearch::Search::IndexSearcher.
DESCRIPTION
Chapters
· KinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial::Simple - Build a bare-bones search app
using KSx::Simple.
· KinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial::BeyondSimple - Rebuild the app using
core classes like Indexer and IndexSearcher in place of
KSx::Simple.
· KinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial::FieldType - Experiment with different
field characteristics using subclasses of
KinoSearch::Plan::FieldType.
· KinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial::Analysis - Examine how the choice of
KinoSearch::Analysis::Analyzer subclass affects search results.
· KinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial::Highlighter - Augment search results
with highlighted excerpts.
· KinoSearch::Docs::Tutorial::QueryObjects - Unlock advanced search
features by using Query objects instead of query strings.
Source materials
The source material used by the tutorial app -- an html presentation of
the United States constitution -- can be found in the "sample"
directory at the root of the KinoSearch distribution, along with
finished indexing and search apps.
sample/indexer.pl # indexing app
sample/search.cgi # search app
sample/us_constitution # html documents
Conventions
The user is expected to be familiar with OO Perl and basic CGI
programming.
The code in this tutorial assumes a Unix-flavored operating system and
the Apache webserver, but will work with minor modifications on other
setups.
