[fpc-pascal] Searchable docs online

[Michael Van Canneyt]

Hello,

Given the questions of late, I have created a search page for the docs:

https://www.freepascal.org/docsearch/docsearch.html

This will search in the manuals, and in the reference documentation for the
units.

There is ample room for improvement, but the page already works.

Things to improve:
- Allow 'contains'
- Allow 'minimum rank' (rank is the number of times a word appears in a page)
- Allow to specify in which manual you want to search.
- Integrate searching in the doc pages themselves.

The underlying mechanisms for this search are 100% FPC based:
fpindexer, fcl-web, and the webpage logic is done using pas2js.
(meaning you need to have Javascript enabled)

Feedback and comments welcome.

Michael.

Is the server itself written in freepascal?
Or is it apache or nginx?

The search server is a single program which is switchable between CGI and
standalone HTTP server using a define.
I use HTTP server for development, it is deployed as CGI.

Just tried to use https://www.freepascal.org/docsearch/docsearch.html and it seems to have a bug (not working, errors in the JS console). Awaiting the source on svn also. :)

Ryan Joseph

Possibly, I have been doing some experiments. I have re-enabled it.

It is now also referred to from the main docs page:
https://www.freepascal.org/docs.var

The search term edit box now has type-ahead enabled.

Sources (webpage/server) can be found on:
https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/html/docsearch/

The server needs the latest fpindexer:

https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/packages/fpindexer/

The indexer works using postgres, but sqlite, firebird (in fact any SQLDB DB) are
also supported. There is also support for a custom file format.

The "client" is written in pas2js.

So it comprises now a full-fledged example of how FPC can be used as a
full-stack web development environment.

In a couple of moments, I will commit a more general version of the
HTML searchengine under fpindexer examples.

Michael.
