Search results

From DataBrass

Jump to:navigation, search

The search input supports the use of the semantic query syntax to help match results using Semantic MediaWiki.

×Cheat sheet

A [[ ... ]] input will signal to the input processor to use the Semantic MediaWiki search back-end. It should be noted that combining [[ ... ]] with an unstructured text search such as [[ ... ]] OR Lorem ipsum is not supported.

Input and search

Structured searches:

[[Category:Lorem ipsum]], [[Has number::123]] (as filtered context)

[[Has text::~*lorem*]] (with a query context)

Proximity searches (a property being unknown, only available for those back-ends that provide a full-text search integration):

[[in:lorem ipsum]] (search in all documents for "lorem" and "ipsum" that have been indexed)

[[phrase:lorem ipsum]] (match "lorem ipsum" as phrase)

Syntax

The following links will explain how to use the #ask syntax.

×Cheat sheet

The Special:Search extended profile provides access to search functions specific to Semantic MediaWiki and its supported query backend.

Search input

The search input field supports the use of the #ask syntax to define a Semantic MediaWiki specific search context. Useful expressions include:

in: to find anything that contains "..." and is especially useful when the search context or properties involved are unknown (e.g. in:(lorem && ipsum) is equivalent to [[~~*lorem*]] && [[~~*ipsum*]]).

phrase: to find anything that contains "..." in the exact same order

has: to match any entity with a property "..." (e.g. has:(Foo && Bar) is equivalent to [[Foo::+]] && [[Bar::+]])

not: to not match any entity that includes "..."

Some expressions are reserved such as: '&&', 'AND', '||', 'OR', '(', ')', '[[', ']]'

Some of the listed operations are only useful in connection with an enabled full-text index or the ElasticStore.

Sort by

Specifies a sorting preference for the result display with:

"Title" using the page title (or display title) as sort criteria

"Most recent" will show the most recent modified entities first (subobject entities will be suppressed as those entities are not annotated with a Modification date)

Forms

Forms are provided (if maintained) to match specific use cases by exposing different property and value fields to narrow down the input process and make it easy for users to proceed with a search request. (see available forms)

Namespace

The namespace selection box will be hidden as soon as a form is selected but can be made visible with the help of the "show/hide" button.
