LucyX::Simple - Simple Lucy Interface

SYNOPSIS

    use LucyX::Simple;

    my $searcher = LucyX::Simple->new(
        'index_path' => '/tmp/search_index',
        'schema' => [
            {
                'name' => 'title',
                'boost' => 3,
            },{
                'name' => 'description',
            },{
                'name' => 'id',
                'type' => 'string', #you don't want the analyser to adjust your id do you?
            },
        ],
        'search_fields' => ['title', 'description'],
        'search_boolop' => 'AND',
    );

    $searcher->create({
        'id' => 1,
        'title' => 'fibble',
        'description' => 'wibble',
    });

    #important - always commit after updating the index!
    $searcher->commit;

    my ( $results, $pager ) = $searcher->search( 'fibble' );

DESCRIPTION

Simple interface to Lucy. Use if you want to use Lucy and are lazy, but need more than Lucy::Simple provides :p

METHODS

new ( {hashref} )

    #required args
    index_path => path to directory to use as index
    schema => arrayref of hashrefs defining schema, e.g.
        [
            {
                'name' => 'id',
                'type' => 'string', 
            },
            {
                'name' => 'title',
                'type' => 'fulltext','
            },

        ]

see Lucy::Plan::FullTextType

        #arguments are 
            name => string # required
            type => one of qw/fulltext blob float32 float64 int32 int64 string/, default fulltext
            boost => float #default 1.0
            indexed => 1|0 #default 1
            stored => 1|0 #default 
            sortable => 1|0 #default 0

and more, see "ADVANCED"

search( $query_string, $page ) - search index

    my ( $results, $pager ) = $searcher->search( $query, $page );

create( $document ) - add item to index

    $searcher->create({
        'id' => 1,
        'title' => 'this is the title',
        'description' => 'this is the description',
    });

not that it has to be, but its highly recommended that id is a unique identifier for this document

or you'll have to pass $pk to update_or_create

update_or_create( $document, $pk ) - updates or creates document in the index

    $searcher->update_or_create({
        'id' => 1,
        'title' => 'this is the updated title',
        'description' => 'this is the description',
    }, 'id');

$pk is the unique key to lookup by, defaults to 'id'

delete( $key, $value ) - remove document from the index

    $searcher->delete( 'id', 1 );

finds $key with $value and removes from index

commit() - commits and optionaly optimises index after adding documents

    $searcher->commit();

    #or to optimise as well
    $searcher->commit(1);

you must call this after you have finished doing things to the index

ADVANCED

when creating the Lucy::Simple object you can specify some advanced options

language

set's language for default _analyser of Lucy::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer

analyser

set analyser, defualts to Lucy::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer

search_fields

fields to search by default, takes an arrayref

search_boolop

can be OR or AND

search boolop, defaults to or. e.g the following query

    "this is search query"

becomes

    "this OR is OR search OR query"

can be changed to AND, in which case the above becomes

    "this AND is AND search AND query"

resultclass

resultclass for results, defaults to LucyX::Simple::Result::Object which creates acessors for each key => value returned

could be changed to LucyX::Simple::Result::Hash for a plain old, hashref or a custom class

entries_per_page

default is 100
