http://ayende.comAyende @ RahienCopyright (C) Ayende Rahien 2004 - 2021 (c) 202660Ciel, This is a user facing feature. You would use it for your own search pages to give better UXhttp://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment12http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment12Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:22:13 GMTSo this is more a server / administration ui feature? I guess I am just confused as to how this actually works. http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment11http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment11Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:11:04 GMTMatt, Any in the last week or so.http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment10http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment10Mon, 28 Jan 2013 17:21:05 GMTWhat build should I look for this in?http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment9http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment9Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:53:37 GMTKhalid, if you look at the highlighted results, it doesn't look like it's displaying the entire project.Summary value. It's only showing the snippet of text that includes the highlighted term. That's pretty nice.http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment8http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment8Fri, 25 Jan 2013 20:47:45 GMTKhalid, highlighting isn't only about putting html tags into a text. It also allows you to fetch snippets (short regions of text with matched tokens inside) and do it fast because all the necessary information (tokens offsets) is already contained in Lucene index.http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment7http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment7Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:41:09 GMTKhalid, We aren't talking about doing this on a single document ,this is for you to be able to see the full search results with more data.http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment6http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment6Fri, 25 Jan 2013 13:27:14 GMTMy apologies, I was unclear. I didn't mean by Ajax (request to the server). I meant there are libraries that will scrape your page clientside and put the highlighting in after the page has loaded. See the example below. http://johannburkard.de/blog/programming/javascript/highlight-javascript-text-higlighting-jquery-plugin.html Certainly the way you described it would be a inefficient way to do it. http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment5http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment5Fri, 25 Jan 2013 13:26:07 GMTKhalid, Let us assume that you are indexing a text field that is 2 KB in size. You don't want to send that 2KB times NumberOfDocs. This does this on the server side, and sent you only the snapshots.http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment4http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment4Fri, 25 Jan 2013 13:01:48 GMTTo play devil's advocate, why wouldn't you want to do this on the clientside with a JavaScript library? It seems like you'd want to do more with the UI like tooltip hovers. I still think it is cool and I'm not gonna complain about new features.http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment3http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment3Fri, 25 Jan 2013 12:57:49 GMTChanan, OfTyoe is the same as As.http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment2http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment2Fri, 25 Jan 2013 12:56:52 GMTVery helpful feature! What is OfType, is that the same as AsProjection?http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment1http://ayende.com/160835/ravendb-new-feature-highlights#comment1Fri, 25 Jan 2013 12:27:48 GMT
