* [[multibyte support]] ! * Accept a command line option to specify anything that can be specified in a swish-e configuration file. Perhaps like swish-e -i mydatadir -f myindex.index -O'IndexOnly .html' * runtime option to NOT normalize/scale ranks to 1000 * make index files platform independent (specify bit size and layout of data in indexes; perhaps store ints in 'network order' and use typedefs like UINT32 etc) * update [http://www.gentoo-portage.com/www-apps/swish-e Gentoo Portage of swish-e] (Ed- Done as of 7/25/05) * documentation and testing of PHP interface * help output for 'spider.pl --help' or 'spider.pl -h' -- perhaps it could output the perldoc of itself? * Swish-e test suite (In Progress: see http://joshr.com/src/Swishetest/ ) * Regular Expression Buzzwords ** For example, the ability for a phrase like "ERR-1234" to get indexed as "err-1234" instead of "err" and "1234". ** Possible configuration file directive: BuzzWordsMatch /ERR\-\d+/ ** For more info, see http://swish-e.org/Discussion/archive/2004-03/7186.html * Option to allow an optional "reversed-word" index or meta to support searching for word endings (and perhaps fragments). ** (This could also include some sort of higher-level integration, ie with the query parser. For now, people can hack around this by creating metanames with words reversed, and handle search issues with a custom query interface. --[[User:Joshr|Joshr]] 10:14, 23 Dec 2004 (EST)) * Ability to detect indexes from earlier versions of swish-e, at least moving forward; then swish-e could report 'index from earlier version' instead of 'empty index'. * Show which input file/Path-Name errors like "input conversion failed due to input errorBytes: 0x87 0x40 0x92 0x6E" come from. * (See also the latest version of the [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/swishe/swish-e/TODO?rev=1.1&sortby=date&view=markup the swish-e TODO list]) * Put pdf of docs on website. * Add support to prevent traversing URL's outside the base URL in spider.pl::process_link() ie: return unless ( $uri =~ /^$server->{base_url}/ ); (Ed: this can be done with the test_url() function: see http://swish-e.org/current/docs/spider.html#item_test_url ) * Allow IndexDir to look at a scheme and decide what indexing method to use (fs, prog or html) ** Possible syntax: IndexDir prog:///path/to/program file:///path/to/dir ** For more info, see http://swish-e.org/Discussion/archive/2004-04/7370.html * Extend the -k option with information, how often the keyword is used in the index and/or in how many documents it is included. I guess the information is already somewhere in the index file, there's just no way to access it, at least none I know of * some statistic information about the index
