NAME

dezi - Dezi server app

SYNOPSIS

Start the Dezi server, listening on port 5000:

 % dezi -p 5000

Add a document foo to the index:

 % curl http://localhost:5000/index/foo -XPOST \
   -d '<doc><title>bar</title>hello world</doc>' \
   -H 'Content-Type: application/xml'
   

Search the index:

 % curl 'http://localhost:5000/search?q=bar'

DESCRIPTION

Dezi is a search platform based on Apache Lucy, Swish3, Plack, Search::OpenSearch and Search::Query.

Dezi integrates several CPAN search libraries into one easy-to-use interface.

If you haven't yet read it, the Dezi::Tutorial is a good place to start.

OPTIONS

The dezi app supports all the options that Plack::Runner supports. See the plackup perldoc for a description. The following options are specific to dezi.

debug

Turns on verbosity in stderr Plack logging.

dezi-config file

file can be in any format supported by Config::Any. The structure expected contains a key called engine_config which is passed directly to Search::OpenSearch::Server::Plack, which in turn passes through to Search::OpenSearch::Engine.

See Dezi::Config.

Example (in native Perl format):

 use CHI;
 my $c = {
  engine_config => {
    index       => [qw( path/to/index1 path/to/index2 )],
    facets      => {
        names       => [qw( color size flavor )],
        sample_size => 10_000,
    },
    fields      => [qw( color size flavor )],   # result attributes in response
    indexer_config  => {
        somekey => somevalue,
    },
    searcher_config => {
        anotherkey => anothervalue,
    },
    cache           => CHI->new(
        driver           => 'File',
        dir_create_mode  => 0770,
        file_create_mode => 0660,
        root_dir         => "/tmp/opensearch_cache",
    ),
    cache_ttl       => 3600,
    do_not_hilite   => [qw( color )],
    snipper_config  => { as_sentences => 1 },        # see Search::Tools::Snipper
    hiliter_config  => { class => 'h', tag => 'b' }, # see Search::Tools::HiLiter
    parser_config   => {},                           # see Search::Query::Parser
    auto_commit     => 1,                            # see Search::OpenSearch::Engine::Lucy
  }
 };
 

Other config key options include:

search_path path

The /-prefixed URI path where the Dezi server should accept incoming searcher requests. Defaults to '/search'.

index_path path

The /-prefixed URI path where the Dezi server should accept incoming indexer requests. Defaults to '/index'.

server-class class_name

Use class_name instead of the default 'Dezi::Server'. Useful if you want to create your own server subclass of Dezi::Server.

ui-class class_name

Use class_name as a Plack app mounted under /ui. Try Dezi::UI as an example.

ui

Use Dezi::UI. Shortcut for --ui-class=Dezi::UI

admin-class class_name

The class_name as a Plack app mounted under /admin. Try Dezi::Admin as an example.

admin

Use Dezi::Admin. Shortcut for --admin-class=Dezi::Admin

elastic

If set, UndefinedMetaTags is set to 'auto' in the indexer_config.

auto_commit

engine_config auto_commit flag is explicitly set. Use --no-auto_commit to disable.

Alias is --ac (--no-ac).
