Search Enhancements

This project mainly focuses on updating and improving the current search features. The search setup has been completed under past programs of GSOC and hence the documentation of it is needed which would also be covered under the scope of this project. I would be adding features which would help the user to get a understanding of filtering system and also try to change the way we write Elasticsearch queries in dev files so that it is easier to understand and update them.This also includes solving some current search related issues present in the framework. As everyone is aware of the indexing issues with logstash I shall also devote some of my research time to find a better schedule or method to make indexing more developer friendly.

Objectives and Deliverables

–> Completed Tasks –> Ongoing Tasks

#	Status	Objectives	Associated Deliverables	issue(s)
1		Optimize search filters	Filtering would become faster	!1128
2		Show number of hits in the parenthesis	Users will be able see number of hits in the parenthesis before applying a filter	!526
3		Search Filter Problem	The filters would now return the intersection of all the applied filters	!531
4		Search breaks when searching for a certain string	Search would be fixed for the strings whichwere breaking earlier	!1067
5		search children entities	child, grandchild would be included in thesearch result for a parent	!1035
6		Show stats for search results	Static Data visualizations to represent an overview of the corpus	!863
7		Encode Elasticsearch queries using JSON	Developers will be able to write elasticsearch queries more systematically	!1129
8		Extend free search	Free search would now include Comments field	!996

Tentative timeline

–> Completed Tasks –> Ongoing Tasks –> Work Demonstration

Week	Objectives	Deliverables
1 and 2	Optimize search filters	Filtering would become faster Filtering would be done before applying filters
3 and 4	Show number of hits in the parenthesis Search Filter Problem	Users will be able see number of hits in the parenthesis before applying a filter The filters would now return the intersection of all the applied filters
5	Search breaks when searching for a certain string search children entities	Search would be fixed for the strings which were breaking earlier child, grandchild would be included in the search result for a parent
6	Buffer week	Report for phase 1 code submission for phase 1
7 and 8	Show stats for search results	Static Data visualizations to represent an overview of the corpus Dynamic data visualizations after filters have been applied so that the user gets a better understanding of how many different results are present inside each filter
9 and 10	Encode Elasticsearch queries using JSON Extend free search	Developers will be able to write elasticsearch queries more systematically Free search would now include Comments field
11	Complete Documentation	Two types of documents: User and Developer would be created with respect to search
12	Buffer week	Submit the code Submit the final project report
