Searchable BehaviorPublic Space

Some notes: * PHP5 only (like Zend_Search_Lucene)

• i STRONGLY encourage to read Zend_Search_Lucene docs before atempting do understand the code (at least read it once :)

• config/lucene.php holds the configuration data for lucene, what data to index etc

• you have to build the initial index with the shell ( cake search build_index)

• you might have problems with permissions - Zend_Search_Lucene is very picky about them - just chmod -r the index dir and delete the .lock. files from index ( default - app/tmp/search_index)

• to seach use $this->Model->search($query, $limit, $page)

• after the search you can get the number of hit by using $this->Model->hits_count()

• you can also get the terms used in the search with $this->Model->terms();

• you want the paginator to work ? check PaginatorCheating

• in the plugin there is a SearchHelper that highlights the search results
