-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As we're getting more of the enhanced Lucene search server's capabilities exposed to the web UI, it might be good if we can make sure they're exposed to the API as well.
I received a request recently specifically about the "did you mean" feature for spelling corrections of search terms. Internally this is exposed as the hasSuggestion(), getSuggestionQuery(), and getSuggestionSnippet() methods on the search result set object for search engine backends that support it. Being able to return this via the API could be rather handy... Do we have a standard way to return a query-specific bit of metadata with the alternate search term suggestion as well as the list of individual results? - -- brion -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkg0DsACgkQwRnhpk1wk46YtwCfXagP/ulHKhbPewFHhK3/m77O atEAniP/891lp+qfFBQtJIwEV7HqdG8s =WSCv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
