README

Search system for Symfony2 applications.

It supports search functionality for mysql and elastic search.

Usage:

Place the following snippets on a twig view and you are ready to go.

{% render controller('SyliusSearchBundle:Search:form', {'request':app.request}) %}

{% include 'SyliusSearchBundle::filter_form.html.twig' %}

If you want to use the search pragmatically there are currently 2 query types, string query and taxon query.

$finder = $this->get('sylius_search.finder')
            ->setTargetIndex('product') // target index searches in a specific type, if it's not set it searches in all types
            ->setFacetGroup('search_set') // configuration based, uses the relevant facet set, if not set it does not show facets
            ->find(new SearchStringQuery(...));

Taxon

$finder = $this->get('sylius_search.finder')
            ->setFacetGroup('categories_set')
            ->find(new TaxonQuery(...));

Basic configuration guidelines:

Form

form: 'SyliusSearchBundle::form.html.twig'

The actual form you want to use for performing a search. As long as the naming of the elements is the same you can define a new twig file with your own design.

Request method

The default value for both search and filter forms is GET but you can use post by adding the following snippet on the configuration

request_method: POST

Engine

engine: orm

Possible values: orm, elasticsearch

If orm is selected the search uses mysql as engine, if elasticsearch is selected if uses the elasticsearch search engine, which must be configured through the fos_elastica bundle. For documentation on fos_elastica please check the fos_elastica github page.

Query logger

By default query logger is disabled.

If you wish to using you need to add the following configuration parameters. Query logger currently supports orm for smaller websites and elasticsearch for one with higher transactions. In the future we need to introduce queue support.

query_logger:
    enabled: true
    engine: orm

Indexes

orm_indexes: # it is being used only when orm is selected as a driver
        product: # indentifier of an index
            class: Sylius\Component\Core\Model\Product # the corresponding model
            mappings: # appart from the id, the rest of the fields will be used to compile the searchable content
                id: ~
                name: ~
                description: ~

if elasticsearch is selected here is a sample configuration

fos_elastica:
     clients:
         elasticsearch:
            servers:
                - { host: 10.0.0.100, port: 9200, logger: true }
                - { host: 10.0.0.101, port: 9200, logger: true }
           #for clustering you need to define the logger because of the https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSElasticaBundle/issues/543
     indexes:
         sylius:
             client: elasticsearch
