Hello guys,
I am trying to introduce more and more Mediawiki in my company. After gave the access to a couple of users, I had some feedback. I answered to a couple of them and here is the one I can't ;) :
# The search doesn't work on partial (incomplete) word. Got an article with the word "foobar", then I have a result when I type "foobar" but nothing when I type "foob". I have some exception, when I type "est"; it founds some pages with the word "test"... Is there a way to fix it?
# Search on 3 character word: Solved ;) I found help on the FAQ
# Links (usually nasty file:// links) does not work with URL containing spaces I activated the file link support because some users like it a lot ;) [file://mynas/cifs-share/project_A/foobar.doc Access to file1] works fine (mainly with IE :-/) [file://mynas/cifs-share/project B/foo bar.doc Access to file2] doesn't work Is there a way to fix it?
# Is there a plug-in to scan documents like .PDF or .DOC on the fly during the upload to index them in the search engine?
# I would like to put some sensitive documents in the department wiki. The information are not so secret, the content is just the *brain* of our service. It contents everything to restart from scratch if everything crash. Is there a way to make a full backup of the website to make in available offline or export all pages to HTML in a save place on an automatic way? We already backup the database every day, same thing for the web server. Nevertheless, in comparison to the regular documentation stored on a filer with information duplicated on several place several time a day, it is less *secure*. I was thinking to run a nasty WGET recursive to make a local mirror. Is there something else better?
Thanks by advance for all your answers,
Best regards,
Johan

Hi, I dont have idea about the other problems, but for the foo bar.doc I have solution. check whether it works.
This is because, there is a space between foo and bar, so try using the foo\ bar.doc. This may help.The \ escapes the space.

Welcome to the club.
# Links (usually nasty file:// links) does not work with URL containing spaces
Try encoding the space char with "%20" (e.g. "file/////MyServer/My%20Folder/MyFile.odp"). Not sure about this though.
# Is there a plug-in to scan documents like .PDF or .DOC on the fly during the upload to index them in the search engine?
Look at the recent thread on "Storing or Linking Documents". Quoting Rob from there: "I've thrown some very experimental initial work on such an extension into Subversion; trunk/extensions/FileSearch" But there might be more info in that thread.
As for the rest (partial match search, auto-backup), I don't really know much about those issues.
HTH.

The default search relies upon the MyISAM full text indexing engine, and may not be entirely useful, depending on your needs. You might have more luck with a custom search backend, such as the LuceneSearch extension, hooked up to the MWSearch daemon in Subversion, or something else entirely.

You need to URL-encode spaces in URLs. Use %20.
# Is there a plug-in to scan documents like .PDF or .DOC on the fly during the upload to index them in the search engine?
Yes and no; see http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2007-April/019490.html.
Is there a way to make a full backup of the website to make in available offline or export all pages to HTML in a save place on an automatic way?
You can write a shell script to do it. The procedure is documented at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki.
