Search is powered by `Sphinx <http://sphinxsearch.com>`_. It allows us to do
|
|
|
|
|
very fast full-text search and avoid hitting the mysql databases or polluting
|
|
|
|
|
them with search-related data.

Production
|
|
|
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Production at peak load based on log analysis done in 2009 suggests that we
|
|
|
|
|
serve 10q/s.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sphinx is served from two load balanced nodes that also serve sphinx for
|
|
|
|
|
preview and SUMO.

Testing
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing of Sphinx can be remarkably slower since Sphinx needs to populate
|
|
|
|
|
tables and truncate tables for each test. If you are trying to run a quick
|
|
|
|
|
test you can always omit Sphinx::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./manage.py test -a\!sphinx

Addon criteria for being indexed
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sphinx tries to index all valid addons. The query in
|
|
|
|
|
`configs/sphinx/sphinx.conf` looks for addons that meet the following criteria:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A name needs to be set for the default locale. E.g. if your default locale
|
|
|
|
|
is ``fr`` there should be a corresponding translation for the name in ``fr``.
|
|
|
|
|
* Only (non default) translations of an addon that have either a description or
|
|
|
|
|
summary set will be indexed. E.g. if your addon has ``en-US`` as a default
|
|
|
|
|
locale, the ``fr`` locale won't be indexed if you haven't set a description
|
|
|
|
|
or a summary.
