Laravel 5.5 package for full-text search over Eloquent models based on ZendSearch Lucene.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Require this package in your composer.json and run composer update:

```
{
	"require": {
        "nqxcode/laravel-lucene-search": "2.4.*"
	}
}
```

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in `config/app.php`

```
'providers' => [
	Nqxcode\LuceneSearch\ServiceProvider::class,
],
```

If you want to use the facade to search, add this to your facades in `config/app.php`:

```
'aliases' => [
	'Search' => Nqxcode\LuceneSearch\Facade::class,
],
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Publish the config file into your project by running:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nqxcode\LuceneSearch\ServiceProvider"
```

### Basic

[](#basic)

In published config file add descriptions for models which need to be indexed, for example:

```
'index' => [

	// ...

	namespace\FirstModel::class => [
		'fields' => [
			'name', 'full_description', // fields for indexing
		]
	],

	namespace\SecondModel::class => [
		'fields' => [
			'name', 'short_description', // fields for indexing
		]
	],

	namespace\ModelWithCustomPrimaryKey::class => [
		// You can also define your primary key (if you use something else than "id")
		'primary_key' => 'my_custom_field_name',
		'fields' => [
			'username', 'short_description', // fields for indexing
		]
	],

	// ...

],
```

### Indexing of dynamic fields

[](#indexing-of-dynamic-fields)

You can also index values of **optional fields** (dynamic fields). For enable indexing for optional fields:

- In config for each necessary model add following option:

```
        'optional_attributes' => true

        // or

        'optional_attributes' => [
                'accessor' => 'custom_name' // with specifying of accessor name
        ]
```

- In model add **special accessor**, that returns list of `field-name => field-value`. By default `getOptionalAttributesAttribute` accessor will be used. In case accessor name specified in config `getCustomNameAttribute` accessor will be used.

Example:

In config file:

```
        namespace\FirstModel::class => [
                'fields' => [
                    'name', 'full_description', // fixed fields for indexing
                ],

                'optional_attributes' => true //  enable indexing for dynamic fields
        ],
```

In model add following accessor:

```
        public function getOptionalAttributesAttribute()
        {
                return [
                        'optional_attribute1' => 'value1',
                        'optional_attribute2' => 'value2',
                ];
        }
```

### Score Boosting

[](#score-boosting)

See details on [Apache Lucene - Scoring](https://lucene.apache.org/core/3_5_0/scoring.html#Score%20Boosting).

#### Model level boosting

[](#model-level-boosting)

This is **Document level boosting** in terminology of Apache Lucene. By default all models have **boost** value equal to **1**. For change of this behavior customize boost for necessary models as in the following examples.

- In config for each necessary model add following option:

```
        'boost' => true

        // or

        'boost' => [
                'accessor' => 'custom_name' // with specifying of accessor name
        ]
```

In model add following accessor:

```
        public function getBoostAttribute()
        {
                return 0.5; // customize boost value for model
        }
```

- In model add **special accessor**, that returns boost value. By default `getBoostAttribute` accessor will be used. In case accessor name specified in config `getCustomNameAttribute` accessor will be used.

Example:

In config file:

```
        namespace\FirstModel::class => [
                'fields' => [
                    'name', 'full_description',
                ],

                'boost' => true // enable boosting for model
        ],
```

In model add following accessor:

```
        public function getBoostAttribute()
        {
                return 0.5; // customize boost value for model
        }
```

#### Model's field level boosting

[](#models-field-level-boosting)

This is **Document's Field level boosting** in terminology of Apache Lucene. By default **boost** is set in **1** for each field. For change of this behavior set boost for necessary fields as in the following examples.

In config file:

```
        namespace\FirstModel::class => [
                'fields' => [
                    'name', // field with default boost
                    'full_description' => ['boost' => 0.2], // customize boost value
                ],
        ],
```

Or/and in model accessor:

```
        public function getOptionalAttributesAttribute()
        {
                return [
                        'optional_attribute1' => 'value1', // field with default boost
                        'optional_attribute2' => ['boost' => 0.5, 'value' => 'value2'], // customize boost value
                ];
        }
```

### Stemming and stopwords

[](#stemming-and-stopwords)

By default the following filters are used in search:

- Stemming filter for **english/russian** words (for reducing words to their root form),
- Stopword filters for **english/russian** words (for exclude some words from search index).

This filters can be deleted or replaced with others.

```
'analyzer' => [
    'filters' => [
    	// Default stemming filter.
    	Nqxcode\Stemming\TokenFilterEnRu::class,
    ],

    // List of paths to files with stopwords.
    'stopwords' => Nqxcode\LuceneSearch\Analyzer\Stopwords\Files::get(),
],
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Artisan commands

[](#artisan-commands)

#### Initialize or rebuild search index

[](#initialize-or-rebuild-search-index)

For building of search index run:

```
php artisan search:rebuild --verbose
```

#### Clear search index

[](#clear-search-index)

For clearing of search index run:

```
php artisan search:clear
```

#### Filtering of models in search results

[](#filtering-of-models-in-search-results)

For filtering of models in search results each model's class can implements `SearchableInterface`. For example:

```
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Nqxcode\LuceneSearch\Model\SearchableInterface;

class Dummy extends Model implements SearchableInterface
{
        // ...

        /**
         * Get id list for all searchable models.
         */
        public static function searchableIds()
        {
            return self::wherePublish(true)->pluck('id');
        }

        // ...
}
```

### Partial updating of search index

[](#partial-updating-of-search-index)

For register of necessary events (save/update/delete) `use Nqxcode\LuceneSearch\Model\SearchTrait` in target model:

```
    use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
    use Nqxcode\LuceneSearch\Model\SearchableInterface;
    use Nqxcode\LuceneSearch\Model\SearchTrait;

    class Dummy extends Model implements SearchableInterface
    {
        use SearchTrait;

        // ...
    }
```

### Perform operations without indexing

[](#perform-operations-without-indexing)

If you want to avoid triggering the indexing, wrap necessary operations in the `withoutSyncingToSearch()` method on your model:

```
Product::withoutSyncingToSearch(function () {
    // mass update position for product, e.g.
    foreach (Product::all() as $i => $product) {
        $product->update(['position' => $i)]);
    }
});
```

### Query building

[](#query-building)

Build query in several ways:

#### Using constructor:

[](#using-constructor)

By default, queries which will execute search in the **phrase entirely** are created.

##### Simple queries

[](#simple-queries)

```
$query = Search::query('clock'); // search by all fields.
// or
$query = Search::where('name', 'clock'); // search by 'name' field.
// or
$query = Search::query('clock')              // search by all fields with
	->where('short_description', 'analog'); // filter by 'short_description' field.
// or
$query = Product::search('clock'); // search only in `Product` model by all fields in case when `Product` use `SearchableTrait`.
```

##### Advanced queries

[](#advanced-queries)

For `query` and `where` methods it is possible to set the following options:

- **phrase** - phrase match (boolean, true by default)
- **proximity** - value of distance between words (unsigned integer)
- **fuzzy** - value of fuzzy (float, 0 ... 1)
- **required** - should match (boolean, true by default)
- **prohibited** - should not match (boolean, false by default)

###### Examples:

[](#examples)

Find all models in which any field contains phrase like 'composite one two phrase':

```
$query = Search::query('composite phrase', '*', ['proximity' => 2]);
```

Search by each word in query:

```
$query = Search::query('composite phrase', '*', ['phrase' => false]);
```

#### Using Lucene raw queries:

[](#using-lucene-raw-queries)

```
$query = Search::rawQuery('short_description:"analog"');
// or
$rawQuery = QueryParser::parse('short_description:"analog"');
$query = Search::rawQuery($rawQuery);
```

### Getting of results

[](#getting-of-results)

For built query are available following actions:

#### Get all found models

[](#get-all-found-models)

```
$models = $query->get();
```

#### Get count of results

[](#get-count-of-results)

```
$count = $query->count();
```

#### Get limit results with offset

[](#get-limit-results-with-offset)

```
$models = $query->limit(5, 10)->get(); // Limit = 5 and offset = 10
```

#### Paginate the found models

[](#paginate-the-found-models)

```
$paginator = $query->paginate(50);
```

### Highlighting of matches

[](#highlighting-of-matches)

Highlighting of matches is available for any html fragment encoded in **utf-8** and is executed only for the last executed request.

```
Search::find('nearly all words must be highlighted')->get();
$highlighted = Search::highlight('all words');

// highlighted html:
// 'all words'
```
