Hello,
I'm working with a client to utilize their Google Search Appliance
(GSA) for searching within their externally facing customer wiki. I'm
required to access the GSA through it's API and pass the following
parameters:
linkID=10 (this tells the GSA what enterprise site is being searched)
searchTerm= the query string
selectionTopic=default_en (returns English results and is constant)
startNum=0 (the start result number)
I've been trying to get mediawiki-gsa-engine
(
https://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-gsa-engine/) to work
unsuccessfully. And it would appear the extension is unmaintained.
What's my path of least resistance here? Should I simply hack the
SimpleSearch section of the Vector.php?
I haven't found any other extensions in the wild that integrate with a GSA.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bill
At this point I think the only maintained search backend for Mediawiki is
database backed and CirrusSearch. CirrusSearch only targets Elasticsearch.
I'm not really sure what the path of least resistance is if you are forced
into GSA. It might be reviving the extension but it looks like its been
fallow for a long time.
Thanks Nik,
I may end up reviving the extension. Right now, I'm experimenting
with $wgSearchForwardUrl which may suffice if I can get it to work.
I've got $wgSearchForwardUrl working, however, as expected this
actually pushed the User off of the wiki to the external search page.
I can use this temporarily, but I'd really like to keep the User on
the wiki. I guess I'll have to look at resurrecting the
mediawiki-gsa-engine extension.
