phorkie 0.2.0: Elasticsearch - Christian Weiske

phorkie 0.2.0: Elasticsearch - Christian Weiske:

I've just released phorkie
0.2.0 which brings search functionality via
Elasticsearch.

The nice thing about Elasticsearch is that it allows boosting of certain fields
(paste title is higher ranked than the file content) and has a bunch
of search query features:

• Exclusion: +foo -bar


• Logical OR: foo OR bar


• Quoting: "foo bar"


• Partial words: foo*


• Restriction to certain fields: content:Hello

All of that was just there without me having to do any programming, whereas
with MySQL this would have taken weeks to implement
(query parsing and sql-mapping).

phorkie will work fine without an Elasticsearch service, but you won't
see the search field in that case.

PEAR updates

While hacking on phorkie, I took the time to do fixes for libraries that
I use here:

• 
  Services_Libravatar
  (federated, open source gravatar) nearly got a complete rewrite
  and is unit-tested now.
  Melissa merged my changes and
  released versions 0.2.0 and 0.2.1.
  


• 
  Date_HumanDiff
  (lib to display relative dates in a readable form like "2 hours ago")
  supports translations (en, de and el already there!)
  and custom times ("2 dozen seconds ago").
  It's available in
  version 0.2.0.
