TextExtract

(redirected from Cookbook.ExtractText)

Questions answered by this recipe

How can I do searches showing query results within context and not just a list of page links?
I'd like to offer more advanced search options like case-sensitive, whole words, regular expressions in addition to the standard search.
How can I show content from different pages if the content matches specific query terms?

Description

Text Extract provides a search form and a markup expression for extracting text sentences, lines or paragraphs from multiple pages, using search terms (including regular expressions), and wildcard pagename patterns.

Installation:

Download extract.phpΔ, copy to cookbook folder and install in config.php with:

Usage:

Markup syntax

As search form:

  
(:extract <parameters> :)
(:searchresults:)

As markup expression:

  
{(extract Term1 [Term2] [-Term3] ... name=PageName group=GroupName \
        [keyword=value] [keyword=value] ...)}

With (:pagelist:):

  
(:pagelist fmt=extract Term1 [Term2] [-Term3]  \
         <pagelist + textextract parameters>:)

With (:searchbox:):

  
(:searchbox fmt=extract <parameters>:)
(:searchresults:)

With PowerTools {(pagelist ...)} markup expression:

  {(pagelist fmt=extract <parameters>)}

Arguments / Search Terms

• Text(Pattern) - = Search Terms - display lines containing Text string or matching regular expression TextPattern. All single arguments are treated as search terms, results will be returned from pages matching all terms with no prefix or a + (plus) prefix, but not terms prefixed with - (minus). Arguments enclosed in double quotes will be treated as search phrase.

Optional Parameters

search control

• case=1 - do case-sensitive search. Default is 0 insensitive case search.
• phrase=1 - search terms entered are treated as a phrase, same as if they were enclosed in double quotes. Default is 0.
• word=1 - match whole words only, default is 0.
• regex=1 - treat search term as regular expression (preg), default is 0 treat terms as text strings.
• regexcut=1 - treat terms entered into a field named 'cut' as regular expression. Default 0, terms treated ordinarily, same as in query input field.
• strict=1 - a strict search mode. If more than one search terms are used it will show results only if all the terms are part of the display unit (paragraph, sentence, line, depending on the unit parameter setting).
• strict=0 - a loose search mode. Will show results for any search terms, if they are on the same page, but not necessarily in the same unit (paragraph, sentence, line). If UTF-8 is enabled will also search for any search terms which include accented characters and where the accent is replaced by an ASCII equivalent (like ä to ae, ß to ss, á to a, etc. Uses ISO-8859-1 character table. See section about utf-8 below.
• acc-restore=1 - (default) for search terms including strings mapped to language specific accented characters additional terms will be created with the accented replacements. First implementation for German Umlaute and ss.

page selection

• group=GroupName source pages from group GroupName. Allowed are Wiki wildcards '*' and '?'.
• name=PageName - source pages from PageName or Group.PageName. Allowed are Wiki wildcards '*' and '?'. You can specify any number of pagenames, comma-separated, and each could contain wiki wildcards. Page names with a - (minus) prefix will be excluded. Note that wiki wildcard pagename patterns are not the same as regex patterns!
• name=PageName#section - the text from anchored #section will be taken as source. Allowed are Wiki wildcards '*' and '?' in PageName, but not in #section.
• name=PageName#sectA#sectB - the text from anchor #sectA to anchor #sectB will be taken as source. Allowed are Wiki wildcards '*' and '?' in PageName.
• page=GROUP.NAME - full source pagename, can include wildcards * and ?

  As a searchform parameter this will hide the page field.

Text(Pattern)

By default search terms entered are treated as strings. With regex=1 set, or the regular expression box ticked, the term entered is taken as a regular expression (Perl). With phrase=1 set terms entered are taken as a phrase, same as enclosing terms in double quotes, like "cat & dog".

• 'cat' will look for all occurrences of 'cat'. The default is a case-insensitive search, so any occurrence of 'Cat', 'CAT', 'cAt' etc. will also be returned.
• 'cat dog' will look for string 'cat' AND 'dog', for strict=1 mode both strings need to be present in the page text portion set by parameter unit= (paragraph, sentence, line,...), or, for strict=0 mode, just in the same page, but possibly on different lines or paragraphs, i.e. 'cat' AND 'dog' on the page, but 'cat' OR 'dog' in the paragraph or sentence or line, depending on unit= parameter).
• '"cat and mouse" dog' will look for string 'cat and mouse' AND string 'dog'.
• To look for matches of 'cat' OR 'dog' use 'cat|dog' and check 'Regular expression'.
• To look for matches of 'cat' but NOT 'dog' use 'cat -dog'.
• To match the word 'cat' and not 'catastrophe' tick the Match whole word box, or use parameter word=1 in the markup expression.
• When using a regex search be aware that some characters are used as special control characters: the dot ., the star *, the question mark ?, the pipe |, the dollar $, and brackets. To use any of these as normal characters you need to escape them with a backslash in front.
• The regex dot . character represent any character, so if you use a single dot as the textpattern the whole page content will be returned, as it matches everything. This is enabled for default searches too.

To specifically exclude lines matching some text(pattern) put it into the cut= option. With the snip= option on the other hand you can prevent certain words or phrases being shown in any matching lines, but still get the line. Input in cut= and snip= is treated as a regular expression pattern.

PageName source lists

Page names or group names can be specified with name= and group= parameters, and can include wildcard characters star * and question mark ?, ? representing any valid single character, and * representing any string of valid characters. A page name with a minus - or ! in front will be excluded from the pages to be searched.

So name=Test* means all pages beginning with 'Test', group=PmWiki will be interpreted as all pages in group PmWiki, name=-*RecentChanges means no RecentChanges and no AllRecentChanges etc. pages.

If you use full page names like Group.Name note that the wildcard pagename pattern is not a regex pattern, and a dot here means just the separator between the Group and PageName component of a page name! When several expressions are given, they will be combined logically as AND conditions to arrive at a valid source pagelist.

Comma-separated lists of page names can also be given.

Instead of using all of a page as the source for the text extract, one can specify an anchor defined page section as source with Group.PageName#anchor, or a section between two anchors with Group.PageName#anchor1#anchor2. Within the anchor section part you cannot use wiki wildcards, but if the name contains wildcards, then pages matching the name will be searched, and results only taken from the specified anchor section. You cannot use several names with different anchor sections!

Search form markup

Markup (:extract <parameters>:) will produce a search form with a field for entering search terms and a field for entering a page name or pagename with wildcards.
Markup (:searchresults:) is used as marker for showing the results.

Note that in the standard PmWiki searchbox when entering Main/apple apple is searched in pages of group Main, but TextExtract will search for string Main/apple in pages or groups specified in the page name field. Leave a space between Main/ and apple to search for apple in group Main.

Default parameters for markup (:extract <parameters>:)

• size=30
• button='Search'
• searchlabel='Search for'
• pageslabel='On pages'
• caselabel='Match case'
• phraselabel='Match phrase'
• wordlabel='Match whole word'
• strictlabel='Match all'
• regexlabel='Regular expression'
• header='full'
• phead='link'

Other optional parameters

• case=1 - searches will be case-sensitive. The checkbox 'Match case' will not be shown.
• phrase=1 - searches will look for the phrase when several words are entered, same as if these are entered in double quotes. The checkbox 'Match phrase' will not be shown.
• word=1 - searches will look for whole words, not part of words. The checkbox 'Match whole word' will not be shown.
• regex=1 - a checkbox 'Regular expression' will be shown, giving the option to enter a regular expression as search term.
• Use group= and name= parameters as with pagelist and search markup.
• page=GROUP.NAME - (you can use wildcards * and ?) this will hide the pagename field of the form, and pass on 'PageName' as source page parameter.
• pattern=SEARCHTERM - this will hide the search field and search is always with the search term thus set. Setting both page= and patter= options you will get a form with just the submit button, useful to let a user get information with a preprogrammed search.
• defaultpage=GROUP.NAME to set initial value for page field.
• All the other keyword=value options from the {(extract ....)} markup expression can be used.

Notes on page field input

• A single * will search all pages in group (if group= parameter is set), or all pages.
• A group name plus an ending / will search pages in that group.
• Names with wildcards will search corresponding pages, narrowed down by any page options, like group=.

  
(:extract:)
(:searchresults:)

  
(:extract page=* group=PmWiki name=-RecentChanges regex=1:)
(:searchresults:)

  
(:extract page=* group=PmWiki name=-RecentChanges markup=code unit=line  regex=1:)
(:searchresults:)

Notes

Styling

You can change styling of results via css:

• The results are wrapped in a div with class 'te-results'.
• The header div has class 'te-header'.
• The footer div has class 'te-footer'.
• Each page link subheader div has class 'te-pageheader'.

Template variables

You can use some template variables within the values set with parameters header= footer= phead= pfoot=.
Useful for header=

• {$$time} - search time
• {$$pattern} - search term(s) from input.
• {$$listcnt} - number of pages in source page list.
• {$$pagecnt} - number of results pages.
• {$$matchcnt} - number of matches (results).
• {$$rowcnt} - number of result rows.

Useful for phead=

• {$$pagenum} - consecutive number of source page.
• {$$pmatchnum} - number of matches on the source page.
• {$$source} - full source page name. Use as link like [[{$$source}]]
• {$$pname} - name of source page
• {$$ptitle} - title of source page
• {$$ptitlespaced} - spaced title of source page
• {$$pgroup} - group of source page

Example, imitating header=full (remove line break):

  
header="%rfloat%{$$matchcnt} results from {$$pagecnt} pages,
 {$$listcnt} pages searched in {$$time} %%[+ '''$[Text Extract]''' +]"

PmWiki Search Form and pagelist directives

It is possible to use TextExtract with PmWiki (:searchbox:) search form, or (:pagelist:) directives. This may be useful in situations were it is necessary to use some pagelist options, which TextExtract does not supply.

and any other TextExtract options within the markup.

Example 1:

  
(:searchbox group=PmWiki fmt=extract:)
(:searchresults:)

Example 2

  (:pagelist Search Terms fmt=extract header=full phead=link:)

Target output to another page

With the TextExtract (:extract ...:) search form, as with the PmWiki (:searchbox:) search form, a target=Group.PageName parameter can be set, which directs the output to a specified target page

Custom Search Form

This is a form built with Forms markup, and using action='search' and fmt='extract' utilising Pmwiki pagelist and TextExtract.

Example search form, not enabled here!

(:input form :)
(:input default request=1:) 
(:input default name 'PmWiki.*':)
||width=30em
||Search for ||(:input text q:) (:input submit post "Search":)||
||On pages ||(:input text name :) ||
|| ||(:input checkbox word 1:) Match whole word ||
|| ||(:input checkbox case 1:) Match case ||
|| ||(:input checkbox regex 1:) Regular expression ||
(:input hidden unit line:)
(:input hidden markup code:)
(:input hidden header full:)
(:input hidden title 'Search Results:':)
(:input hidden phead link:)
(:input hidden matchnum 1:)
(:input hidden timer 1:)
(:input hidden action search:)
(:input hidden fmt extract:)
(:input end:)
(:searchresults:) 

Widening search with utf8 enabled

For a site which has UTF8 enabled and with option strict=0 set (default), from version 2023-02-07 TextExtract can search with automatically generated additional search terms, which have accented letters from the Latin1 (ISO-8859-1) character set replaced with unaccented ASCII characters. If acc-restore=1 is set (default), TE also searches with additional terms which restored accented characters, using a custom array of replacement patterns. This for now is implemented for German, for other languages you may wish to create your own custom array. Variables $TEAccReplacePatterns and $TEAccRestorePatterns can be set to point to custom pattern arrays.

This extra functionality works best if the recipe UnaccentUTF8 is installed, and for German if the German modifications for that recipe are enabled (uncommenting two code lines, see the recipe). UnaccentUTF8 changes the default PmWiki pagelist behaviour, creating a page index which is insensitive to accent characters, and also case-insensitive. This allows for more search hits for the page list created in a TextExtract search, and we can get results for terms with accented characters and their replacements (searching for "Fluß" will give results with "Fluß", "Fluss", "Einfluss" etc.). Additionally, if the $TEAccRestorePatterns array allows it, a search for "fluss" will give results for "fluss", "Fluß", "Einfluss" etc. If this is not wanted, one can restrict the search by setting option strict to 1, as well as doing a case sensitive search with case=1, a word specific search with word=1. Those options could be supplied via checkboxes in the search form.

Note on $TERemoveMarkupPatterns

$TERemoveMarkupPatterns is an array variable containing patterns and replacements, which are used during a search for a phrase (phrase=1) to remove inline markup during the search and in the results shown, to make search for text phrases possible and independent from whatever inline markup is part of the page source text.

//remove {gloss} markups
$TERemoveMarkupPatterns["/\\{(.*?)\\}/"] = "";

Note on $TEPermittedDirectives

Experimental! Allowing markup directives to stay active in search results can have undesired consequences. The highlight feature will certainly not work on terms matched with text rendered via active directives.
From version 2023-02-05 on the array variable $TEPermittedDirectives can be set as an array containing a simple list of keywords for markup directives which should stay in place. As default TE removes any markup of form (:key ...:). By setting $TEPermittedDirectives[] = 'key'; in config, such markup directive will stay active. You can add several key names into the array, you need to observe case-sensitivity. Example:

  $TEPermittedDirectives = array('Title','keywords');

Including 'Title' will allow matches to terms in a page title, even if such terms are not in the page text. If you permit in this way the (:title ...:) directive, please consider setting in config also $EnablePageTitlePriority = 1;, otherwise titles of page matches will override the page title of the search page!
