Sphinx search: charset table difficulties_问答_开发者

I am loosing my mind on this for two days now...

I would like to use slovenian letters in sphinx search, all english ones + č ž š (and just in case ć)

I was looking all over the net to get the proper chars but I found squat...

so I decided to make my own step by step...

this is my index

index classifieds
{
    source          = classifieds_src
    path            = c:\Sphinx\data\classifieds
    docinfo         = extern

    min_infix_len       = 2
    infix_fields        = title,keywords,summary,text
    expand_keywords     = 1
    enable_star     = 1


    charset_type        = utf-8
    charset_table = 0..9, a..z, _, A..Z->a..z,-, U+002C, \
    U+010C->U+010D, U+0106->U+0107, U+0160->U+0161, U+017D->U+017E, \
    U+010D->c,U+0107->c, U+0161->s, U+017E->z, \
    U+010D, U+0107, U+0161, U+017E
}

where I mapped big Č, Ć Š Ž to their lowercase counterparts, and added mapping from č into c, ć into c, š into s and ž into z and finally I added those four chars to the table....

these are my classifieds titles:

t1: HP USB optična miška za prenosnik RH304 t2: Čiška PCplus MO-U033+F2 (optična, brezžična, PS/2) t3: Miška Logitech optična Nano M235 siva

db encoding: utf8_general_ci table's encoding: utf8_general_ci title field encoding: utf8_general_ci

test case:

$testcase = array(
        "miška",
        "mi*ka",
        "Čiška",
        "čiška",
        "miska",
        "usb prenosnik",
        "prenosnik miska",
        "miška usb"
);

//api settings:

$this->sphinx->SetArrayResult(true);
$this->sphinx->setLimits(0, 100);
$this->sphinx->setMatchMode(SPH_MATCH_EXTENDED2);
$this->sphinx->SetSortMode(SPH_SORT_RELEVANCE, '@weight DESC');
$this->sphinx->SetRankingMode(SPH_RANK_PROXIMITY_BM25);
$this->sphinx->SetFieldWeights(array("title"=>100, "keywords"=>80, "summary"=>60,
"text"=>20, "slug"=>10));

and finally the test results:

Keyword (total / total_found) words

You can clearly see I get positive results only in the queries without slovenian special chars

Please, please help I am loosing my mind on this

The problem is that sphinx indexer wasn't using utf8 character set by default. Fixed by adding the following to sphinx.conf

sql_query_pre = SET CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=utf8
sql_query_pre = SET NAMES utf8

Here you could find many different charset tables, maybe one of the would be suitable for your language: http://sphinxsearch.com/wiki/doku.php?id=charset_tables

There are some parameters you should setup. They are ngram_len and ngram_chars.

First, I got the same problem with you. Then I read the book Introduction to search with sphinx , I found the default charset and ngram_chars is for english and russian only. So you have to add those by yourself.

In my case, I made these changs, for Chinese:

charset_table = U+FF10..U+FF19->0..9, 0..9, U+FF41..U+FF5A->a..z, U+FF21..U+FF3A->a..z,\
    A..Z->a..z, a..z, U+0149, U+017F, U+0138, U+00DF, U+00FF, U+00C0..U+00D6->U+00E0..U+00F6,\
    U+00E0..U+00F6, U+00D8..U+00DE->U+00F8..U+00FE, U+00F8..U+00FE, U+0100->U+0101, U+0101,\
    U+0102->U+0103, U+0103, U+0104->U+0105, U+0105, U+0106->U+0107, U+0107, U+0108->U+0109,\
    U+0109, U+010A->U+010B, U+010B, U+010C->U+010D, U+010D, U+010E->U+010F, U+010F,\
