Author: bsrour

Description:
When I try and remotely invoke a search query to the Wikipedia API I get back a null set of results.

Hello,

I am having trouble calling this url:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=wikipedia&srlimit=10

All I get is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<api>

<query>
  <search />
</query>

</api>

What's up? Is this not yet implemented, turned off? Any help here
would be really appreciated.

LuceneSearch extension and MWSearch extension need to be merged in an
appropriate way so the API can get access to search results.

Any news about this bug?

Well, no, no one has worked on making Lucene API-friendly AFAIK.

Thanks for the answer Roan.

Anyway, is there any search API alternatives at the moment?

Initial version of ApiQueryLuceneSearch.php

Attached a first version of my ApiQueryLuceneSearch.php extension module. I do not have Lucene working, so it is untested. Currently only the fulltext search function of Lucene is supported.

Nice work, Bryan, although you can lose Yuri's copyright line in favor of yours (you're the one who wrote the module, after all). You might wanna write up another patch that integrates this into the LuceneSearch extension (add it to $wgAPIModules in LuceneSearch's setup code) and ask someone with Lucene (the TestWiki folks, maybe?) to test it.

Appears to be working except the part that outputs the titles: See http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=sheep&sroffset=10&format=jsonfm. ApiQueryLuceneSearch::formatItem appears to be returning null.

I can't debug this as I don't have Lucene. It could be that $result->getTitle() (line 81) is null.
