mentalist Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I was recently looking at using the FULLTEXT features of mysql to do a site search facility, but don't seem to be able to get it to work the way i'd expect. So, i'm now considering the concept of taxonomy. It's technically a new subject to me so... Basically i'm thinking from a cron job any new pages will be read by php and harvested for a keyword count. But which words? Should they be a list of search terms used by users (could this be exploited to slow the site down?), should it be a big list of nouns (?), what if it was a non-english site, what if it was a multi programming language site, etc... I find this taxonomy method easier to work out because I can use the frequency counts to weight the 'limited' results for pagination. Is there any light you can shed on the subjects of site searching or taxonomy? How do you manage it?
