redlink-gmbh / chatpal-search Goto Github PK

Should be hidden there

Without any configuration in the chatpal-setting (CHATPAL_CONFIG), the UI for editing the configuration doesn't even show up. This is due to the fact that the configuration is immediately getting validated - and the default one can never be valid from the very beginning.

Motivation

As a user, I know a particular property of a message, e. g. by whom and when it has been sent.

Expected behavior

I want to use this property to limit the results

Proposal

Either visualize the facets or accept a formatted search string, such as date:2017-12-12

After cloning the project from git and adding the module via meteor add chatpal:search new files are created within the Rocket.Chat folder.

should all these files just be added as usual:
git add .
git commit -m "adding chatpal search"

or should this be added as a module
git submodule add https://github.com/redlink-gmbh/chatpal-search.git packages/chatpal-search

Motivation

As a user, I don't really know the terms to search for

Expected behavior

I want to enter sea and get a proposal for searching for "search"

Actual behavior

There is no autocompletion

Proposal

Check google's type-ahead ;)

As an admin, I want to be able to modify the target URL for the search at runtime

Expected behavior

The search requests are being routed to the new URL immediately

Actual behavior

Request is routed to the old URL until the system is restartet

We updated Solr to version 7.71 and experience missing texts in search results since then.
The user names and dates are shown.

The text is not included in the DDP messages, but I suppose they should be.

Currently, the search functionality searches in all existing channels. I would like to restrict the search to the current channel. Maybe a simple checkbox?

The results of Smarti 0.6.1 do not fit to ChatPal Search:

chatpal-search fails by executing:

/packages/chatpal-search/server/service/search_service.js

static alignResponse(result) {
  const docs = [];
  result.response.forEach(function(doc) {
    docs.push({
      type: doc.type,
      subtype: 'c',
      room: doc.meta_channel_id[0],
      id: doc.message_id,
      text: doc.message,
      highlight_text: result.highlighting[doc.id] ? result.highlighting[doc.id].message[0] : undefined,
      user: doc.user_id,
      date: doc.time
    });

    return {
      numFound: result.meta.numFound,
      start: result.meta.start,
      docs
    };
  }
});

The Smarti response of:
http://localhost:8080/rocket/localhost/search?sort=time%20desc&fl=id,message_id,meta_channel_id,user_id,time,message,type&hl=true&hl.fl=message&df=message&q=braunschweig

does not return the JSON-Format expected by chatpal search.
E.g.

• result.response is undefined
• the requested return fields: id,message_id,meta_channel_id,user_id,time,message,type do not persist in the response of Smarti

Not quiet sure if this has to be solved within chatpal or within Smarti.

I also commented this in:
redlink-gmbh/smarti#121

In the backend.js file in lines 17 and 23 you access config.baseUrl, but config is unknown at this point.

Hi
We use Сhatpal global search, and we got the problem - the result page doesn't have scroll bar, so we can't see all the results.
Can we fix it?

Matomo, formerly known as Piwik, is able to track site searches. It would be beneficial if Motomo can be used to analyze searches by chatpal in Rocket.Chat. Keywords should be tracked and mapped to users in order to know what people are looking for.

You can find a documentation on Matomos site search capabilities here: https://matomo.org/docs/site-search/

Motivation

As a user, I'm lazy and don't want to type the complete word

Expected behavior

I want to find search also when only entering sea

Actual behavior

Only complete words are found, unless I enter an * as suffix

Proposal

As this has an impact on performance, add a configuration option. I don't know whether this should be a user preference of a global one though

As an admin, I want to be able to deactivate Chatpal manually.
If this has been done, the search input box shall not be visible

As a administrator who has no Solr Know-how, I want to be able to set up Chatpal search quickly on my cluster.

Suggestion: Provider a dockerfile with a pre-configured Solr-core-configuration matching Chatpal-search's requirement

I searched for a message which was posted in livechat, but I was not able to find it by chatpal.

It would be really cool if chatpal is able to search through livechat rooms and messages as well. Currently this option is not supported - or I am not able to find a way to do it ;-)
