Scout Search

clarkwinkelmann

allen13 please describe what happens. Is there an error? Do you get empty results for all queries? Which scout driver are you using and if using Meilisearch, which version are you using and where is it hosted?

If you don't select a driver in the Scout extension settings it's expected that no query will return any result.

clarkwinkelmann Seems to be a conflict with some expansion? When I uninstalled a few extensions, it returned to normal 😂

clarkwinkelmann

allen13 without a detailed explanation of the problem there's nothing I can do. I have zero idea what you are experiencing. Please see my questions from the previous message and if disabling some extensions helped please also list the name of those extensions.

How to rebuild index?
The forum uses meilisearch. I upgraded meilisearch to 1.1.1 and cleared the previous data of meilisearch. The flarum version and plug-ins have all been upgraded to the latest version. Now I can't rebuild the index. I can execute "php flarum scout:import-all', and some information is returned,

/var/www/html/flarum # php flarum scout:import-all 
Imported [Flarum\Discussion\Discussion] models up to ID: 2
All [Flarum\Discussion\Discussion] records have been imported.
Imported [Flarum\Post\Post] models up to ID: 3
All [Flarum\Post\Post] records have been imported.
Imported [Flarum\User\User] models up to ID: 1
All [Flarum\User\User] records have been imported.

but meilisearch has not built an index, and I suspect there is a cache.

Aaro-n running that command should be the right solution.

If you don't see any error while running the command there are 2 likely reasons that I have encountered during my own use of the extension:

Make sure the "driver" setting in the Flarum extension still points to Meilsearch. It might have been reverted to null by mistake and the index is "successfully" written into the void because of it.
If you use an asynchronous queue (via another Flarum extension), make sure it's running and wait for all the jobs to complete. Index updates are processed in queable jobs.

If that doesn't help, maybe there's an issue specific to the new Meilisearch version. I probably haven't tried that specific version yet. You could try booting a fresh Meilisearch server with the old version and try again, just to see whether the indexes can be re-created there.

Versions 0.3.4 & 0.3.5

Added compatibility with Advanced Search Highlight (Meilisearch only)

0.3.4 contained a bug when multi-bytes characters were present in the highlighted attribute. This was fixed in 0.3.5.

clarkwinkelmann Is it possible to exclude some specific flarum-tags from the search results using this extension?

And is meilisearch free when hosted on the same server with flarum?

HD3D Is it possible to exclude some specific flarum-tags from the search results using this extension?

No, but if any extension implements this feature for the native search, it will work when used with Scout as well.

HD3D And is meilisearch free when hosted on the same server with flarum?

There's no license when you self-host meilisearch, so it will only cost you what your hosting already costs. Doesn't matter if it's on the same server as Flarum or a different server.

clarkwinkelmann Installed meilisearch through "composer require meilisearch/meilisearch-php"
Installed Scout search too, now I'm stuck at meilisearch key
How do I generate masterkey for it through SSH?

HD3D meilisearch/meilisearch-php

That is not meilisearch, but the api library for php that interacts with it. You will need to install meili similar to how Apache or nginx are installed, check the meilisearch website for instructions specific to your os.

HD3D

luceos Yes, installed meilisearch but no matter what I keep getting this error on centos

meilisearch: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by meilisearch)
meilisearch: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by meilisearch)
meilisearch: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by meilisearch)
meilisearch: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by meilisearch)

HD3D I won't be able to help with that. You should ask on the Meilisearch community. You night need additional system libraries or switch to a different operating system.

HD3D

clarkwinkelmann Successfully ran it through docker but it is extremely slow, slower than default search

clarkwinkelmann

HD3D if you don't have many discussions, I expect there wouldn't be any noticeable improvement. However with many discussions I have personally seen great performance improvement compared to MySQL search.

I have only tested with locally hosted Meilisearch instances so far, never with containers. I wouldn't expect Docker to make it much slower than without containers though.

Do you have enough RAM? I believe Meilisearch stores the entire index in RAM or something like that.

HD3D

clarkwinkelmann I have 500k+ discussions and 600k+ posts

8GB of total RAM and LiteSpeed server

Hi all. I have mixed impressions of using Meilisearch. Sufficient system resources, index creation, querying, everything runs without a single error, but:

1) The search takes longer than the default MySQL fulltext search (1 vs 2 seconds)
2) The relevance of the results is not good, especially for words that are included in the discussion titles.
3) Meilisearch index size is 6 GB, while the full MySQL dump is 60 MB gzipped. 100x larger index than the original data? Maybe a temporary bias caused by LXC.

An opinion?

clarkwinkelmann As You Type and Search Boolean are hard-coded to enabled, though they don't seem to work as described in TNTSearch documentation.

I did some testing, and I like having the index accessible and on-prem with the flarum installation. The only thing I do miss is that there is no search possible with parts. So if I search "meet", nothing - but "meeting" works fine. Also, in discussions with the post-stream search, partials don't work. Any idea if that could be tweaked?

clarkwinkelmann

GreXXL if you are talking about TNTSearch, I have no idea. Last time I checked their documentation was completely useless and there are no obvious debugging tools.

I recommend using Meilisearch.

GreXXL

clarkwinkelmann Yeah I was talking about TNTSearch. I like the idea but it just does not work well enough to be a viable option. Meilisearch is working great ofc.

It's didn't work with flarum 1.8.5. Please ref https://discuss.flarum.org/d/33925-scout-search-with-meili-search-didnt-work . Thank you.
