FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

🧭 Silverstripe Discoverer: Search and querying module for Silverstripe CMS

Purpose

To provide you (a Silverstripe developer) with interfaces for search querying that do not change, even when you switch between different search service providers (EG: Elastic, Algolia, Silverstripe Search).

Delivery

To deliver on our purpose, the way that you perform filtering, faceting, and certainly the way that you display results, is very likely going to change. We hope that the learning curve is reasonable, and that the majority of developer interactions with this code is intuative (once you understand the mentality behind it).

You will not be able to perform any sort of "raw filtering" or "raw querying" with service specific formats, as that would not meet the purpose of this module - which is to use a common interface that will allow you to easily switch between services.

Installation

Note: this module does not function without an integration module

If you want to install this module for developing your own integration module, then you can install it with:

If you are planning to search through a page and controller, then you might also want to consider using Silverstripe Discoverer > Search UI

Feature support

Whether or not certain features are supported by this module. Noting that different search providers often do things in different ways, and often have different levels of support for features. This module attempts to provide a level of functionality that is commonly supported by many different services.

Feature Module support Future module support Rationale
Filters Yes Yes You should (hopefully) be able to achieve any sort of nested filtering that you require.
Facets Partial Partial Facet support differs hugely between search services. Current thinking is to try and limit what sort of Facet integrations we support (EG: no Geolocation) in the hopes that if you switch services in the future, you won't lose functionality.
Multi-search No If desired Not supported by many search services. It wouldn't be unreasonable effort to add this functionality though. Plugin modules for services without mult-search could manually perform 2 searches and combine the results.
Query suggestions (aka auto-complete) Yes Yes Query suggestions and Spelling suggestions are the same feature for some services, but a different feature for others. Discoverer treats them as different features with a common goal (providing some form of "suggestion")
Spelling suggestions (aka "did you mean") Yes Yes Query suggestions and Spelling suggestions are the same feature for some services, but a different feature for others. Discoverer treats them as different features with a common goal (providing some form of "suggestion")
Click through logging Yes Yes Supported in Elastic App Search, but not supported by many other Search Services (including Elasticsearch). This feature in particular is an example of the "silent treatment" that might be applied when a feature disappears between service providers.
