king Henry VIII dalenda est
by Liam R. E. Quin 05 Oct '20

At https://words.fromoldbooks.org/Search/ a search for henry shows lots of matches, and sodoes a search for henry i, but henry ii and henry viis missing and so is henry viii. I can search for viii and find Henry VIII and also Charles VIII, but i also can't search for Charles VIII. I can search for the king’s feet, and for Henry V, but not Charles II. It looks like words ending in ii are invisible. I'm using ft:search("wobo", $term)/ancestor-or-self::p Might this be related to stemming? i have that turned off This is used to create the db (from the Perl API) # create query instance t("drop db wobo"); t("create db wobo"); t("open wobo"); $session->send("set chop false"); $session->send("set ftindex true"); $session->send("set updindex true"); $session->send("set autooptimize true"); txf("/home/liam/w/Search/wobo.xml"); t("create index attribute"); t("create index text"); t("create index fulltext"); t("optimize"); t("close"); t("quit"); where t() just does a $session->execute() on its argument after printing a trace line, and txf does a delete followed by an add. Probably i can make a test case available if needed.

Mapping query-params to $options argement of ft:functionj
by Günter Dunz-Wolff 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Hi all, is there a possibility to match the query-parameters more directly to the $options argument of a ft:function? In the moment I have a rather complicated if-else-if-else-if…-scenario. Example: if ($wildcards = "on" and $all = "on" and $case_sensitive = "on" and $using_diacritics = "on") then $collection[.//text() contains text {$query} all words using case sensitive using diacritics sensitive using wildcards] else if and so on. Depending on query-params I want to build the ft:function with $options argument more directly. (But for example string-concatenation doesn’t work.) Thanks for any advice. Guenter
