Re: [EP-tech] EPrints Search - Latest Items

EPrints makes some decisions on what to index. Those can be overridden, if I recall the old magics from the dawn of time.

https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/lib/defaultcfg/cfg.d/indexing.pl

That, by default, uses EPrints word split function https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/Index/Tokenizer.pm#L39 which apparently uses the perl regexp library to decide word breaks, but you can write one that does what you want. freetext_seperator_chars seems utterly ignored now.

This is still obeyed
$c->{indexing}->{freetext_min_word_size} = 3;

Which caused some issues for people with Chinese name "Wu".

I would suggest considering keeping it by altering indexing.pl to always index numbers even if they are one or two digits long. Something like this (of course you'd then have to entirely reindex)


        # First approximation is if this word is over or equal
        # to the minimum size set in SiteInfo.
        my $ok = $wordlen >= $c->{indexing}->{freetext_min_word_size};

        if( $word =~ m/^\d+$/ ) {
                    $ok = 1;
        }

Hi!

 I've found that the virus can be referred also as "SARS COV-2" so maybe you can add also this. But beware that Eprints search has a problem with -, it split the word using it.

Hello All,

I hope everyone is well in body and mind.

I need some help with the EPrints search function. I have been asked to add a box to the repository homepage that lists the latest coronavirus-related deposits.

I'm hoping to search via keywords for "coronavirus" and "covid-19". I also want to search for either of these terms in titles. To do this I'm currently butchering a copy of cgi/latest_tool.

I can get the keywords part to work using:

$c->{latest_rona_modes} = {
default => { citation => "noauth" },
fplatest => {
citation => "popular", max => 5,
#citation => "result", max => 3,
filters => [
#{ meta_fields => [ "full_text_status","full_text_status" ], value => ("none"||"public") }
{ meta_fields => [ "keywords" ], value => "covid-19"}

This also works with "title" as you would expect.

What I really want is to do a search where the keywords can be "covid-19" OR "coronavirus" as well as including some allowance for adding an:

 "OR title LIKE '%covid-19%' OR title LIKE 'coronavirus' in MYSQL-speak.

Am I able to do this using the EPrints::Search plugin? I've tried reading the codumentation and experimenting with it, but I'm not getting very far.

If it's not possible I can think of a number of bodges for it, but decided it was best to attempt the proper way first.

Thanks,
James
