eZ search needs to be improved

Thursday 19 January 2006 3:27:01 am

The eZ search is not very good. Users and administrators have given me feedback (also in this forum) that the eZ search needs to be rewritten or improved.

The search takes too long to process, this module uses too much resources and it's not userfriendly (to get the results you want).

Here are my suggestions:
- reduce sql-queries and rethink the case with tmp-tables
- add the possibility to tune search through the admin-interface
- create the possibillity to easily edit and make groupings/sort of classes..so it can easy be fetched to output with i.e. 3 columns: first column (left) list articles, the center column (list folders), the last column (list the other classes with topic: mixed results).

Have you tried to integrate an external search engine ? From what I read, mngosearch behaves quite well.

Hi Paul,

I'm far to be an expert in the search engines, but if your new paradigms involve good (french) wine and (belgium) beer, I'd be quite happy to investigate a wee bit more ;)
