Quassel RESTSearch

This is a websearch frontend for a quassel database.

It offers both a simple HTTP API for search, and a normal website for the same purpose.

Setting up search backends

pgsql-smart

First, add a new column to the backlog table:

ALTER TABLE backlog ADD COLUMN tsv tsvector;

Second, add the two new indices:

CREATE INDEX backlog_tsv_idx
  ON backlog
  USING gin(tsv);

CREATE INDEX backlog_tsv_filtered_idx
  ON backlog
  USING gin(tsv)
  WHERE (type & 23559) > 0;

Third, set up a trigger to populate the tsv column:

CREATE TRIGGER tsvectorupdate
  BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
  ON backlog
  FOR EACH ROW
  EXECUTE PROCEDURE tsvector_update_trigger('tsv', 'pg_catalog.english', 'message');

Fourth, populate the tsv column:

UPDATE backlog SET messageid = messageid;

Setting up the search

First, rename the file qrs_config.default.php to qrs_config.php.

Then configure the database access, backend (currently only pgsql-smart is available), and the prefix of the path.

Development

Please install the required libraries for development with npm install
