Build a high-performance content search engine using PHP and Xunsearch

Using PHP and Xunsearch to build a high-performance content search engine

Introduction:
In today's era of information explosion, how to efficiently search and retrieve the required content has become an important issue. In web development, we often need to use search engines to filter and retrieve large amounts of data. As a scripting language widely used in web development, PHP also plays an important role in the construction of search engines. This article will introduce how to use PHP and Xunsearch to build a high-performance content search engine.

1. What is Xunsearch
Xunsearch is a full-text retrieval solution based on open source. It not only supports Chinese full-text retrieval, but also supports English, numeric and pinyin retrieval. Xunsearch is fast, efficient, and easy to use, making it the search engine of choice for many websites and applications.

2. Install Xunsearch
First, you need to download the latest version of Xunsearch from the Xunsearch official website (http://www.xunsearch.com).

Extract the downloaded file to the project directory and enter the xunsearch folder. Execute the following command on the command line to successfully install Xunsearch:

./setup.sh

After the operation is completed, a data folder will be generated, which stores Xunsearch’s index and Configuration information.

3. Build a search engine
To use the Xunsearch extension in PHP, you first need to install the extension into PHP. This can be achieved through the following steps:

1. Add the following lines in the php.ini file to enable the Xunsearch extension:

extension=php_xunsearch.so

2. Restart the PHP service and ensure that the Xunsearch extension is loaded successfully.

Before creating a search engine, create an index first, which can be achieved through the following code:

// Introduce the Xunsearch source file
require_once('/path/to/ xunsearch/sdk/php/lib/XS.php');

// Create a search engine object
$xs = new XS('demo');

// Get Index object
$index = $xs->index;

//Data structure for indexing
$index->clean();
$index->beginRebuild( );
$index->addField('title');
$index->addField('content');
$index->endRebuild();

//Complete index creation
echo "Index creation successful!";

Next, we can use the search engine to search. The following is a simple search code example:

//Introduce Xunsearch source file
require_once('/path/to/xunsearch/sdk/php/lib/XS.php');

// Create a search engine object
$xs = new 'High-performance search engine';

//Perform search
$results = $search->setQuery($keyword)->search();

//Output search Results
foreach ($results as $result) {

echo $result->title . PHP_EOL;
echo $result->content . PHP_EOL;
echo $result->score . PHP_EOL;

}
