Landscape Change Project: full text search

Posted on June 6, 2006 by Wesley Wright

I have updated the Quick Search button to use mySQL Full text indices. Searches pretty much follow the Google model:

  • search for
Skiing Stowe

searches for skiing AND stowe. Normal mysql behavior is to search for skiing OR stowe, so secret + signs are prepended to the words

  • search for
Stowe -skiing

searches for Stowe but NOT sking

  • search for
Mount Mansfield

searches for words  Mount and Mansfield

  • search for
"Mount Mansfield"

searches for phrase Mount Mansfield (case insensitive)

  • search for
Stowe -skiing "Mount Mansfield"

Searches for the Word Stowe and the phrase "Mount Mansfield " and NOT skiing

The following fields are searched:

FILENAME, OriginalFileName, title, keywords, description, town, county, PHOTOSOURCE, PHOTODATE, PHOTOYEAR, PHOTOGRAPHER, MEDIA, identifier_citation, identifier_other, publisher

There are still some issues in details.php with respect to highlighting search terms. I have no idea what "Refine Results" will do with this.

Other programmers are welcome to investigate, I’m going to take a break for a day or two and work on some other projects.

More Landscape code

Posted on June 5, 2006 by Wesley Wright

I spent a good portion of today updating MY code to

  • reflect the new structure and thumbnails
  • zoomify images
  • fixed situation where, say, you were looking at search results page 3 of 5, clicked the i icon to display details of a thumnail, then click the Thumbnails tab so that you return to page 3 of 5 rather than page 1 of 5

This required updates to thumbnails.php, details.php, lib/tabs.h.php , lib/ImageSets.h.php, lib/inline.php, lib/Site.h.php, and lib/Images.h.php

Landscape Change Project problem file

Posted on June 5, 2006 by Wesley Wright

Seems the offending image was somehow corrupted as far as my batch utilities (including "make Zoomified") were concerned. Opened the file in Photoshop, made a small change, re-saved it, and the script ran fine.

I also put a check in the code to issue an alert but continue processing should it hit a similar snag.

Pages at http://www.uvm.edu/~waw/landscape now utilize thumbnails — or display broken images if the thumbnails doesn’t exist yet (we’re up to LS03329_000 as of 1:34 PM Monday).
