Thanks! I will test this ASAP.
If it works (and I'm quite sure it will!) this is something that should definitely go into 3.4!

@smanzi I just finished my document for the test:

Perfect, Dimitris, thanks, but... too neat! I'll minify this into a "one liner"...

@test success For the give input above the results are like:

Thanks Chris

@dgt41 are you on latest staging? I can't run the indexer... no progress bar... stuck... only:

Starting Indexer
The indexer is being initialised. Do not close this window.

Just to be clear the above problem is without this PR!

@smanzi check #5336

@test on a 2k boundary success

Article used:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaa<script src="/nothere/notthere.js" /> some

Result:

WTF! #5336 MUST be merged!!! thanks!

Seems to be really OK, but, being the a..hole I am, I want to test it more thoroughly and also in multilingual environment

In the meanwhile I'm going (my tails between legs) to close #5206

Thanks Chris!!

It definitely needs testing in a multi-lingual environment. I think it should be okay because all the string manipulations are done using byte offsets, but it really does need testing to make sure.

Thanks for #5206. It was the stimulus I needed to get the new parser finished!

ah, ah... first small issue:
I slightly modified your test as here below:

    <div id="content">
        [stuff]
    </div>
<h1Title</h1><p>testing if you could apply

Searching for "Testing" doesn't give any result, but searchin for "apply" (a word close to "testing") I get this:

Got you!!!

I'm DUMB
I did disable the PR, sorry...
retesting now...

But is not valid! Using any of the editor (other than none) this will never appear. Also using none it means you know the basics and that there is no safety net! Sorry Sergio not a bug for me

I always use "editor: none"
it is valid in the article: mistake only here. It really is:

    <div id="content">
        [stuff]
    </div>
<h1>Title</h1><p>testing if you could apply

@smanzi @chrisdavenport Confirmed that tags in series should have a space to separate the words

@chrisdavenport Chris, about multilingual do you know of the bug (feature?) that makes so that if you have content flagged for "All" languages it is really searched only for the "default" language and not any other?

This is driving me crazy, because on one of my sites (bilingual) I also have pages where content is not assigned to a particular language but to "All" (It really is content for all languages!), and... I 'can't find it in the secondary language. But this is of course another story....

@dgt41 really??? My bad ignorance.... sorry!

@chrisdavenport @smanzi Sorry I removed the patch earlier

@dgt41 This is generated by JCH Optimizer Pro. It might be their mistake, but...

... <a href=#>Nuova Icona’s new website</a></h2><p>Welcome in our new web site!</p> ...

@dgt41 I think only inline elements (eg. <span>...</span>) must have a space, not block elements (like <h1>...</h1>)

So, is there a problem? If there is, can you give me a specific test where it fails?

@smanzi Regarding the language issue, can you open a separate issue for that (assuming you haven't already)? Let's keep the issues separate. Thanks.

No Chris, no problem! The only problem is me, that I disabled your PR when I couldn't index (because of the lack of PR #5336) and then forgot to re-enable it...

So far everything is OK!

@chrisdavenport The other issue... I've opened it at the times of old JTracker, and I think I also reopened here in GitHub. Let me check...

@chrisdavenport All Good here as well @test success

@chrisdavenport There is #5204 where I reported both issues: the one for the tags without spacing and also the multilingual search...

@chrisdavenport Do you mind if I wait to give you the @test until I finished some more tests? Anyway... it seems REALLY OK!

@chrisdavenport Spacing problem also occurs in 2k boundary, try this:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaa<script src="/nothere/notthere.js" ><script/> some

The word some should come up as single word but it comes up as aaaaaaaaaaaaasome

Okay, I fixed a couple of bugs.

1. Bug reported by @dgt41 The trim in the process method was removing the separation between tokens across the 2Kb boundary, so I removed the trim as it was overkill anyway.
2. Duplicate substrings were being added to the output when the text contained invalid script or style blocks (that is, blocks with a start tag but no corresponding end tag).

@dgt41 How do you make sure that a short string used for searching falls exactly at the 2k boundary inside a long string? 2k starting counting from what?

@smanzi count 2048 a or any other character to get to 2k boundary, subtract few for the tag e.g. <script is 6 chars so 2042 a plus <script src="whatever"></script> ensures that the tag rests and crosses the boundary… Hint: Word got a word count that also counts chars

I have prepared a test file (an extended an slightly modified version of the @dgt41 one).
Everybody can download it from http://smz.it/test-files/test-for-com_finder-v1.zip
Unzip, copy content from the included .html file and paste it inside one or more articles using editor none (to be sure it is not modified by WYSIWYG editors...)

@test success
Thanks again, Chris!

@dgt41 Thanks Dimitris!
Ehmmm... why don't you take my "-v1" test file and make a "-v2" out of it with the 2k long string correctly set up?

You can then send it to me by mail or skype...

@test success no trim on the 2k boundary!

@dgt41 Dimitris, can you give the @test to this also in http://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/5340 so that this can go RTC? Thanks!

RTC

And merged into staging. Thanks Chris!
