title query, url query, etc

Post by michel.weber »

I have been re-reading the appliance manual since we are testing the parametric appliance and i found a table with parameters for queries.
In this table i found well-known things like 'pr' and 'query', bur i also found parameters that look promising, but which i do not find documented anywhere else,
for example 'tq' 'uq' and 'dq'.
Where can i find the documentation on these parameters?

I don't there's any further docs on them.
tq: "title query" for doing full text searches on just the title.
uq: "url query" for doing prefix matching on urls. Provide a url, or a url prefix followed by * .
dq: "depth query" for limiting the depth of the search. The search will only include pages at a depth of the number supplied or less. (eg to search only the top page amd the pages it links to use dq=1).

Depth query i hadn't tried, but that works as expected.

Url query i had tried without a * and it didn't work. It does not seem to work with an '*' either.
I tried this :
&query=corollaire&uq=http://www.coe.int/t/e/*
&query=corollaire&uq=www.coe.int/t/e/* and
&uq=http://www.coe.int/t/e/*
&query=corollaire returns 475 results and &query=corollaire&sq=www.coe.int returns 225 results

Title query in fact reads title ONLY query, but that does clearly not work :
&query=corollaire&tq=Projet gives 38 results
&tq=Projet does not give anything (not even the message 'No documents match the query' nor does &query=&tq=Projet
also there seems to be a problem with diacritical marks :
&query=corollaire&tq=Modèles comes back as &query=corollaire&tq=Mod%E8les and does not find any results.

Maybe you could consider adding some info about this to the manual.

Sorry, uq uses "%" for the wildcard instead of "*". So, in url land you'd use %25, uq=http://www.coe.int/t/e/%25

tq, and the others, are expected to be used in conjuction with the main query.
