TOPIC: Joomla search returns only original articles

Joomla search returns only original articles 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Hello Peter. Thanks for your programs.

I found a Articles Anywhere lack: Joomla search engine returns only original articles, but not the article with content, combined from references to other articles.

In other words, if I'll create an article "combo" with content:
{article name1}{text}{/article}
{article name2}{text}{/article}
{article name3}{text}{/article}

where articles name1, name2, name3 includes word "weekend"

search results ("weekend") will point to articles: name1, name2, name3
but not "combo"

Seems like Joomla searches database, not actual rendered pages. Database contains only expressions from "combo" text, not reffered articles text.

I have 2 questions.
1. Does this problem exists? If yes, is it possible to create you know... upgrade, maybe bugfix
[ it is possible Modules Anywhere has the the same lack ]
2. How google works? Will it index combo pages content or not?

1: The core search indeed searches the database. So it will not see any data placed through plugins.
There is no real quick fix for this as far as I know. Search would get pretty heavy if it has to run all plugins over all data in the database. So this will probably not happen.

I do have a little fix to prevent plugin tags from appearing in the search results:

2: Google sees the pages like you do on the frontend. So it sees the rendered html. That includes the html generated through plugins and what not. So it is no problem for google.

I don't know if there is a search engine that stores rendered pages and searches through that instead of the original database values. Would be an interesting extension

Maybe this does the trick:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/search-...ing/site-search/4753
(commercial though)

www.nonumber.nl/forum/14-sourcerer/6887-...ch-results-core-hack


before code replacement: {} tags were not visible in search results
after: substituted content visible

nice.

Maybe this does the trick:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/search-...ing/site-search/4753

looks like there is no extension/parser for referenced articles to index in built-in searcher
quoted > it's an advanced searcher, but will not solve the problem, seems like it will not index substituted content.


so, there are 3 obvious ways to solve the problem
a). disable search component
b). write tags in article with references
c). copypaste referenced articles, del references )

btw: there is an idea -
an extension (+ code hack)
one pastes a tags cloud in article reference like {article _name1_}{tags: _some_tags_}{text}{/article} (may be with raiting) > internal searcher can see it, but hack will prevent joomla from showing those tags in search result.
If method combined with Articles Anywhere, can give nice result (for internal searcher only).

You can use ReReplacer for your keyword hack.

Just do add something to the article like:
{keywords}place whatever text you want this article to be searched on here{/keywords}

Then let ReReplacer remove that tag from the output:
Search (regex):
{keywords}.*?{/keywords}

Replace: (empty)

after expression added in ReReplacer

Indexation works with keywords; keywords included in exp.> hidden from fronpage.

But these keywords are visible in search result.

Is it possible to prevent them from been rendered in search results?

got it.

with Search areas changed to ARTICLES
remove works both in frontend and search results.
Searcher highlights similar keywords from referenced articles. Tags used with ReReplacer not visible.

must be included in faq.

You might have to set the search area of the replacement to 'article'
