Customising sidebar for non/logged-in users
by Brianna Laugher 31 May '07

31 May '07

Hi, There's no way at present to customise the sidebar display depending on if the user is logged in or not, is there? Would it be possible, given traffic/caching/whatever? It would certainly be handy to be able to give more relevant links to different audiences. cheers, Brianna user:pfctdayelise

A cross-lingual Wikipedia search engine
by Tian-Jian "Barabbas" Jiang＠Gmail 30 May '07

30 May '07

Hi all, My friend Prof. Wu and his students developed Wikigazer ( http://wil.csie.cyut.edu.tw/Wikigazer.php?hl=en ), a cross-lingual Wikipedia search engine based on Lucene. I would like to know if you think it's useful or not, and is it fast enough from your location. Thank you! Best Regards, /Mike/

Re: [Wikitech-l] lucene search 2.0 test webinterface
by Tian-Jian "Barabbas" Jiang＠Gmail 30 May '07

Hi Robert, Yes, there are multiple queries. In my scenario, "precision first" usually implied the amount of return results is limited. Users may not have patiences on both waiting for responses and reading for pages of results. That's why I prefer sequential process rather than parallel; I can guess a small and maybe precise result set first, then query for more if the result set seems to be too small, i.e. the recall is not high enough. For example, a query in Chinese applies word-based analyzer first, with a limit, say 1000: static int m_limit = 1000; Query query = _a_word_based_Chinese_query_here_; ArrayList<MyResult> resultList = new ArrayList<MyResult>(); TopDocs topDocs = m_standardSearcher.search(query, (Filter)null, m_limit); for(ScoreDoc scoreDoc: topDocs.scoreDocs) { Document doc = m_standardSearcher.doc(scoreDoc.doc); float score = scoreDoc.score; MyResult aResult = new MyResult(doc, score); resultList.add(aResult); } Once the size of resultList did not reach 1000, another character-based query will be fired to get more results up to (1000 - current size). It's a very simple heuristic and proved to be fast enough on single P4 2GHz machine with 2GB RAM, which served for a 3GB Lucene index file. Results returned within 1 sec, in average. The problem of all multiple, parallel, or distributed Lucene queries is, score merging may not be reasonable, especially when indexes are in different strategy of tokenization. You may be also interested in http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-92 , http://hellonline.com/blog/?p=55 , and http://www.mail-archive.com/lucene-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg12709.html Thank you!

Results > returned within 1 sec, in average. BTW, in case you are not satisfied with 1 sec, here's some reasonable room to improve: 1. My environment is, actually, lame. It is a Windows 2003 box without the benefit of inode-alike file system for Lucene's index file format. The worse thing is, due to the lack of storage space, some secondary index files may be located on separated machines via SLOW Windows Network Disks. 2. There's no either pagination nor cache in my system. I bet anyone who has a FreeBSD 6.1 server with nice pagination will get much better performance than me. ;-) Regards, /Mike/
