http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?1002877

A recent survey by FIND/SVP found that 84% of business executives queried thought Web searches using commercial search engines took longer than they should because they tended to deliver too many irrelevant results, resulting in an estimated loss of $31 billion in lost productivity. In addition, 74% expressed doubts that the results were reliable and 39% felt that information found online is outdated. Despite their reservations, 67% indicated it would be difficult or impossible to do their jobs without Web-based search tools, with 28% reporting they spend between 6 and 10 hours a week researching online. The most sought after information was financial information and reports, followed by information on competitors. "The commercial search market is dominated by search engines that must target the broadest consumer audience possible, with the broadest scope of content, in order to sell advertisements for any and every product and service possible," says a META Group VP. "The commercial search market has barely begun to address the untapped demand for highly specialized and screened content and we believe this market is poised for growth in the next three to five years."

Using PHP Includes for MT Search Results

Using PHP Includes for MT Search Results 07/04/2004 03:28 PM

A lot of people want to roll their own search with Movable Type. Us, for instance — Gadgetopia has a two-tiered search system based on whether the search term appears in the title, keywords, or body of the entry (see this post for more information).

Our search is done in with SQL and PHP, abandoning the MT search system completely. The probem with this method is rendering the search results. If you don't use MT, then you lose two things:

(1) Auto-creation of the permalink. The URL isn't stored anywhere in the database, so you have to recreate it. If your URLs are just based on the entry ID, then it's not hard. However, look at our URLs — they're a conglomoration of the date and the entry title. We'd have to create a PHP function to recreate this scheme — and if we ever changed the URL structure from within MT, we'd have to change the PHP function separately.

(2) Text filters. If you're just converting line breaks, the text filter is not so hard to re-produce. However, if you're using Textile or some other plug-in to filter your text, you're going to have to reproduce that in PHP as well so the previews render correctly.

You can avoid all this, however, by simply using PHP includes and an extra Individual Entry Archive. The result is an elegant solution that blends PHP and MT to eliminate the tedium of recreating MT functionality in PHP.

To do this, create a new Individual Entry Archive in MT called "search_fragment." This template should contain the just HTML to present a single search result. Like this:


<tr class="title">
  <td class="title">
    <a href="<MTEntryPermalink>"><MTEntryTitle></a>
  </td>
  <td class="date">
    <MTEntryDate format="%m/%d/%Y">
  </td>
</tr>
<tr class="excerpt">
  <td colspan="2">
    <MTEntryExcerpt>
  </td>
</td>


Configure this template to generate a file in a "search_fragments" directory named for the entry ID only. You don't even have to add an extention, though you can if you like (if so, you'll need the change the PHP code listed below). So the entry in the archiving configuration would be something like:

search_fragments/<MTEntryID>

Now when an entry rebuilds, it will create two files: (1) its normal archive file, and (2) a search result fragment file called "1", "2", "348", etc. in the search_fragments directory. Notice that since we're using standard MT templates to create the fragment, the permalink will be created by MT, and the excerpt text will be formatted according to the text filter the entry is using.

Now, when you use your SQL to get your search results, just SELECT the entry ID, then spin through those and use PHP to include the matching search fragment file. Like this:


<table>
  <?php
    while ($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($keywordResults)) {
      @include "search_fragments/" . $r['entry_id'];
    }
  ?>
</table>


This will dump the contents of each search fragment file in the table. Since each file contained two rows, the resulting table will be valid HTML. Notice we're surpressing any errors on the inclusion line just in case a file is missing for some reason.

We've be using this system here for months, and it works great.
