how to integrate zend framework with cakephp 2.0 for the search optimization? - zend-framework

Is it possible to integrate the zend framework with cakephp 2.0?
I want to have search features in the cakephp 2.0 web-application using zend framework.

Define what your requirements for a search are. This questions is to generic.
There is a search plugin for CakePHP by the way: CakeDC Search
A plugin to create search indexes.
Maybe it's going to do what you want.

Your best solution for actual searching is to use Apache Solr. It's a search engine that can be used with any framework through its web service interface.
http://lucene.apache.org/solr/
It is based upon the same library Zend Framework Search uses called "Lucence", expect Apache Solr exposes "Lucence" functions as web services. Very nice and easy to use.

Zend Framework 2/3 Secure REST API

I am trying to build a zend framework application tied to angular. So I am thinking to go with the RESTful approach. Do you have any references on examples on how to this securely?
I would suggest looking at Apigility (Created by Zend and built on top of the framework) https://apigility.org/ if you want to build RESTful API's with Zend Framework.
If you want to build APIs direct with Zend Framework you could lift a lot of ideas for authentication and authorization from the Apilgity docs https://apigility.org/documentation/auth/intro

Recommendations for a Full-stack Framework for REST?

I am looking for a robust REST framework to eliminate all that boilerplate code with starting up a new REST-only web service (mobile clients). Is there a framework that already has this built-in where I could, for example, simply build the domain models and run with it? I would like to see:
Authentication & User Model
Logging
Basic CRUD
Permissions (for model access)
Scalability
It seems every web service at a minimum needs the above capabilities. Somebody, somewhere must have written a good re-usable framework with the above capabilities. Any ideas? I would prefer Node.js, Java or even hosting with a PaaS service provider that offers these features.
Spring 3 MVC provides a very nice and simple annotation based framework for REST.
See http://blog.springsource.org/2009/03/08/rest-in-spring-3-mvc/ it can be deployed on any java web server like Jetty or Tomcat.
A framework like XAP provides a combined solution of Spring and Jetty plus it's built for dynamic scaling.
See http://www.gigaspaces.com/xap.
Last if you want to easily on board this solution on any cloud CloudifySource provides an open source project which includes XAP capabilities and PaaS.
See http://www.cloudifysource.org
I use Symfony 1.4 for this. It is an PHP framework. It generates most of what you need for free. The database stuff is also quite easy as the Symfony uses ORM libraries (you can choose but I can recommend Doctrine: http://www.doctrine-project.org/).
For example the whole backend site(admin) generating is a matter of running one command. They have a great e-book fro free. More info here:http://www.symfony-project.org/.
There is also Symfony 2.X (http://symfony.com/), which have a lot of new features (e.g. new Doctrine 2.0). Especially with the bundle (plugin) https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle is the RESTful service quite easy.

Using Apache Lucene Solr for Full Text Searches

We are planning to develop a web application the main highlight of that will be searching user input text (full text search). We are planning to use some PHP framework and APACHE Lucene Solr for this ? How different it is from Hibernate search? Which is a better option? What things should be kept in mind regarding the database if I want to have mostly full text searches on the DB ? Which is the best PHP framework to use with APACHE Lucene? Zend does provide some additional component to use with Lucene. Similarly, Symfony has a plugin for using lucene. This question is very generic in nature and hence any suggestion,regarding the development idea of the web application and its optimization, will be very valuable.
Apache Solr runs in a Java Web Container (Tomcat, Jetty...) and doesn't use a DB but stores directly on the filesystem in index files. The communication of your PHP Application with the Solr Server (running on the same server on a different port or a different server) is done via HTTP (XML, JSON). You need to enable this kind of communication in your PHP App. There are several implementations for connecting PHP with a Solr Server such as Solarium.
The Zend component you are referring to is probably Zend Search, an implementation of the Apache Lucene algorithm (so you skip the Java part) but you can't take advantage of Solr's features.
Solr has enough feature to use with it, It has full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, Caching, Range queries and geospatial search. We are running our CMS website on top of Solr, we able to handle all type of search request with in Solr.

Scaffolding CRUD in Zend Framework

I'm developing an application on the send zend framework based and I'm missing the Scaffolding. (Something I am used to from other frameworks.)
Is there anything like that for zend framework? I have found zfdatagrid but I would like to know if there is a better solution.

What framework used by links search engine?

There's lots of links search engine growing nowadays:
http://www.uploadcity.com/
http://rapiddigger.com/
http://www.filecrop.com/
http://www.filestube.com/
http://www.general-search.net/
...and lots more...
Do you know what framework (zend framework? django? pylons? rails?, etc...) used for building that search engine?
----added----
and what framework capable for building that search engine?
I suppose a different framework for each of them.
