Zend_Search_Lucene search in array - zend-framework

Question

Is there a way to store an array as a document field and then query that array?
I've got a collection of items, which are tagged. I'd like to be able to search all items that match for example tags 55 and 67.
How would I achieve this?

Answer 1

First you have to create index file with the data in your array. The documentation covers how to create a new index.
so imagining your array look like
$data = array(
array(
'tag' => '55 67',
'content' => 'Lorem Ipsu 1',
'url' => 'http://foobar.net/content.php?id=1'
),
array(
'tag' => '32 67'
'content' => 'Lorem Ipsu 2',
'url' => 'http://foobar.net/content.php?id=2'
)
);
it would give something like that to create your index
// Create index
$index = Zend_Search_Lucene::create('/data/my-index');
foreach($data as $row){
$doc = new Zend_Search_Lucene_Document();
// Store document URL to identify it in the search results
$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text('url', $row['url']));
// Store document TAGS
$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text('tag', $row['tag']));
// Index document contents
$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::UnStored('contents', $row['content']));
// Add document to the index
$index->addDocument($doc);
}
finally to query your index file
$index = Zend_Search_Lucene::open('/data/my_index');
$hits = $index->find('tag:55 AND tag:67');
foreach ($hits as $hit) {
echo $hit->score;
echo $hit->url;
echo $hit->tag;
}
Note
I am not really sure why you intend to use Lucene to do such work, if you just want a listing of article matching whatever tag would be more easy to do it with plain SQL queries.
After if want to know how Zend_Search_Lucene works that could be an example
