* turned off by default (set $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting to turn on)
* reverted r26269, \b doesn't interact very good with unicode data,
so it broke highlighting of words that end/begin in nonascii chars
completely
* small bugfixes in unicode handling, tested in more languages
* $wgSearchHighlightBoundaries need to be set to "" for CJK wikis
* benchmarking: on typical simplewiki data, the code is around 4-5 slower
(according to noc.wikimedia.org the old code profiles to about 0.8%),
but can be up to 20 times slower on featured-size articles
* update release notes (also for r33400)
* fix profiling errors in SpecialSearch
* r34072 -- new highlighter code; looks a bit expensive, not fully tested yet.
* r33489 -- broke search result highlighting all around
* Part of r32350 -- bring the color back to search highlighting so we can see our results again. Why was this removed without comment?
snippet extraction:
* prefer text hits over matches on images/templates/tables, making the
snippets more readable and relevant
* cleanup wikitext
* prefer snippets with exact query match - works only for whole phrases
* drop the old context calculation and replace it will a more flexible one
that does a better job keeping snippets of constant width
* if the first line of the article matches whole query show only one snippet
* manually lower/uppercase non-ascii chars so that words in e.g. cyrillic
are also case-insensitive
* workaround for php limited utf8 support so that snippets end up being of
constant char-size over single and multiple byte text
* if there is no text match for some reason, show beginning of the article
Warning:
* haven't done performance testing, might not be safe to go live, although
I don't see any immediate problems with it
* check in a new ajax suggestion engine (mwsuggest.js) which uses
OpenSearch to fetch results (by default via API), this should
deprecated the old ajaxsearch thingy
* extend PrefixSearchBackend hook to accept multiple namespaces for
future lucene use (default implementation however can still
process only one)
* Added to preferences, also a feature to turn it on/off for every
input (disabled atm until I work out browser issues completely)
* WMF wikis probably won't be using API to fetch results, but a
custom php wrapper that just forwards the request to appropriate
lucene daemon, added support for that
SpecialSearch:
* moved stuff out of SpecialSearch to SearchEngine, like snippet
highlighting and such
* support for additional interwiki results, e.g. title matches
from other projects shown in a separate box on the right
* todo: interwiki box doesn't have standard prev/next links to
avoid clutter and unintuitive interface
* support for related articles
* add "all:" prefix that searches all namespaces (port from LuceneSearch)
* added a simplistic replacePrefixes so that now image:something will
always search the image namespace
* let the backend provide snippets and other info, fill only what is not
provided
* wrap textual results in a div, should make the snippets look more
compact and consistent over hits
* added a did you mean.. container
* show total number of hits if available
* added messages for "redirects to article", and "relevant section" hits
so it throws an error. Created a "too many" class as an alternate search result
to return, and consider any error in SearchPostgres when running the actual search as a "too many"
problem. Not an ideal solution, but I'm not sure how to get at the error message
without requiring a newer version of PHP.
* Added support for configuration of an arbitrary number of commons-style file repositories.
* Split Image.php into filerepo/File.php and filerepo/LocalFile.php
* Renamed Image::getImagePath() to File::getPath()
* Added initial support for timestamp-based file fetching (OldLocalFile), to be expanded upon by aaron.
* Changed the interface for Image/File object creation: use wfFindFile() or wfLocalFile() depending on semantics
* ImageGallery::add() now accepts a title object as the first parameter
* Moved file handling operations on upload from SpecialUpload to File
* Removed path-related functions from ImageFunctions.php. Removed static path accessors from File.
* Added a Content-Disposition header to thumb.php output
* Improved thumb.php error handling
* Updated the unit test suite to kind of partially work with modern computers. RunTests.php doesn't work just yet. Fixed an actual regression that the test suite detected -- moved some defines to Defines.php where they will be loaded consistently.
* Add @addtogroup tags to various classes, to try and group conceptually-related classes together.
* Add brief descriptions to various Special pages, thanks to Phil Boswell.
* Moving some docs to be right above the classes they represent, so that they are picked up.
* removing some unused global declarations.
* removing or commenting out or adding comments for unused local vars.
* Adding one or two local var declarations.
* Declaring $matches array passed to preg_match() / preg_match_all() as array() before using [not required, just have a slight preference for the explicitness].
* remove one or two pass-by-reference function declarations where the value is not modified.
* Adding some braces to if-else blocks.
* In Parser.php, stripstrate is now an object rather than an array as per r17820, so we no longer need ask for a reference to it (as in "$x =& $this->mStripState;"), and in fact it's probably just simpler to get rid of $x altogether.
* Moving some preg regexes from "" quoting to '' quoting to stop static analyzer whinging about bad escape sequences.
... up to "LinksUpdate.php" in the includes/ directory.
search in different variants (if needed).
Minor bug fixes for LanguageConverter: do no convert
roman numbers and text between <code></code> into
variants (e.g. cyrillic).
* remove require_once() throughout whole code, yet left in few places
* move global functions in HttpUtils, ProxyTools, Credits to class methods
* php5 only: __autoload() now used, combined with class->file map and require()
* move initialization of $wgValidSkinNames to Skin::getSkinNames()
* few more changes that will surely break stuff.
