Search
======

[](#search)

Search allows you to easily add an intelligent search engine to your website or web application. It can be configured to search any database table.

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

[](#installation)

You can install this package with Composer.

```
composer require rapidwebltd/search

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Using Search is easy. Take a look at the following example.

```
use \RapidWeb\Search\Search;

// Setup your database connection.
// If you already have a connection setup, you can skip this step.
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:dbname=database_name;host=127.0.0.1', 'username', 'password');

// Create a new Search object
$search = new Search;

// Configure the Search object
$search->setDatabaseConnection($pdo)
       ->setTable('products')
       ->setPrimaryKey('product_groupid')
       ->setFieldsToSearch(['product_name', 'product_description', 'product_seokeywords'])
       ->setConditions(['product_live' => 1]);

// Perform a search for 'test product', limited to top 10 results
$results = $search->query('test product', 10);

// Output results
var_dump($results);
```

The results are returned as a `SearchResults` object, as shown below, containing an array of `SearchResult` objects. This `SearchResults` object also contains various statistics such as the highest, lowest and average relevances, and the time taken to perform the search.

Each `SearchResult` object in the array provides the primary key `id` and its `relevance`. The `relevance` is simply a number that is higher on more relevant results. The array is sorted by relevance descending.

```
object(RapidWeb\Search\SearchResults)#731 (5) {
  ["results"]=>
  array(10) {
    [0]=>
    object(RapidWeb\Search\SearchResult)#588 (2) {
      ["id"]=>
      int(80)
      ["relevance"]=>
      float(637.80198499153)
    }
    /** ... snipped ... */
    [9]=>
    object(RapidWeb\Search\SearchResult)#597 (2) {
      ["id"]=>
      int(18469)
      ["relevance"]=>
      float(121.65783596237)
    }
  }
  ["highestRelevance"]=>
  float(637.80198499153)
  ["lowestRelevance"]=>
  float(121.65783596237)
  ["averageRelevance"]=>
  float(336.74613218217)
  ["time"]=>
  float(0.33661985397339)
}
```

### Caching Source Data

[](#caching-source-data)

To speed up searching, you can cache the source data using any PSR-6 compliant cache pool. An example of this is shown below.

```
// Create cache pool
$filesystemAdapter = new Local(storage_path().'/search-cache/');
$filesystem = new Filesystem($filesystemAdapter);
$cacheItemPool = new FilesystemCachePool($filesystem);

// Set cache expiry time
$cacheExpiryInSeconds = 300;

// Create a new Search object
$search = new Search;

// Configure the Search object
$search->setDatabaseConnection($pdo)
       ->setTable('products')
       ->setPrimaryKey('product_groupid')
       ->setFieldsToSearch(['product_name'])
       ->setCache($cacheItemPool, $cacheExpiryInSeconds); // Setup cache
```
