Search as you type (SAYT) should be able to search the google search appliance index and not just the .txt file

[anonymousgsa]

Initial setup of SAYT with the sample .txt file works fine. However,
if it has to be implemented for large amounts of data, is there a way
to have our code directly fetch keywords or suggestions from the
database where google search appliance (GSA) stores the indexed data.
If so, where is that database used by GSA to store all it's indexed
data? If not, how can we have our code dynamically fetch the keywords/
suggestions?

You can POST a request to the GSA to get a list of query suggestions using <GSA>/suggest?<Query params>. You will then have to process the response and format the results as you want them displayed.

 

Thanks,

Richard

Thank you for the reply. However, could you explain it in more detail?
Also, is the PHP file good to be modified or would you suggest to use
java, jsp or something else?

You can use any language you like - use whatever you're most
comfortable with. The API is just HTTP calls.

Hi,

 

We have implemented SAYT using a js file and the PHP. This is based on the sample SAYT code from Google calling the API to get the results and then combining the results from the text file and the GSA suggestions.

 

the Documentation is available:

https://code.google.com/apis/searchappliance/documentation/68/xml_reference.html#QuerySuggestionServicesuggestProtocol

 

and sample code is

http://code.google.com/p/search-as-you-type/

 

 

I suspect you already have the code.

Hi,

I already have the sample code. I also tried to modify the PHP code
based on the sample text file and GSA suggestions (by reading the
documentation). But I don't get any response.
It's returning me this response: { "query": <query>, "results": [] }.
I followed the documentation and passed this query in the URL:
http://hostname/suggest?q=offices&btnG=Google+Search&access=p&spell=1&client=sayt_testfrontend&format=os&max=15&filter=0&output=xml_no_dtd&proxystylesheet=sayt_testfrontend&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&ud=1&sort=date%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&entsp=a__mbke_policy&exclude_apps=1&site=default_collection

I'd really appreciate if you could help me?

Thank you.

I'd start by removing some of your parameters and check that you have suggestions for the sayt_testfrontend.

If you still have the default frontend, try enabling the google internal query suggestions from the search box config .

It took a couple of days to build up the suggestions we used for testing (automated performance test scripts). We were using version 6.4 of the GSA at the time so the process may have changed.

Hi,

We have the internal suggestions enabled for quite sometime now.

When I passed this query
http://hostname/suggest?q=office&max=10&site=default_collection&client=sayt_testfrontend&access=p&format=rich
, this is the outcome I got: { "query":"office", "results":
[ {"name":"offices", "type":"suggest"}] }

If that is correct, then what is the next step?

Thank you once again.

Hi,

Another thing I noticed is that I don't get the results/response for
any other query other than 'office'. So what does that mean?
The other question I had is whether the response to the query is
coming from the suggestions that we've enabled?

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
