How to use PHP and Xunsearch to improve search speed and accuracy

[Introduction]
In today's era of explosive information, we increasingly need efficient and accurate search engines to help us quickly find information required. As a popular programming language, PHP, combined with the Xunsearch search engine, can provide us with powerful search functions. This article will introduce how to use PHP and Xunsearch to improve search speed and accuracy, and attach code examples.

[Background]
Xunsearch is a full-text search solution developed based on the open source word segmentation Chinese search engine Xapian. It is fast, accurate and stable, and supports Chinese and English, word segmentation, pinyin search and other functions. PHP is a commonly used server-side scripting language. It can provide powerful search functions and good user experience when combined with Xunsearch.

[Steps]

1. Install Xunsearch
   First, we need to install Xunsearch. You can download Xunsearch through the official website, and then install and configure it according to the official documentation. After the installation is complete, we can create and maintain Xunsearch indexes through the command line.
2. Create index
   In Xunsearch, we need to create an index to save the data we want to search. The index can be set to different field types according to specific needs, and operations such as word segmentation and pinyin can be performed to improve the accuracy and flexibility of search.

The following is a sample code that demonstrates how to create a simple index:

<?php
require_once '/path/to/sdk/lib/XS.php';
$xs = new XS('demo'); // 索引名称
$index = $xs->index;
$doc = new XSDocument();
$doc->setFields([
  'title' => 'Example Title',
  'content' => 'Example Content'
]);
$index->add($doc);
$index->flushIndex();
?>

In the above code, we first introduce the Xunsearch SDK, then create an index object, and create A document object. Then, we set the document's fields and content, and add the document to the index. Finally, the index data is flushed to disk through the flushIndex() method.

3. Writing the search function
   Once we have created the index, we can start writing the search function. The following is a sample code that demonstrates how to use PHP and Xunsearch to implement the search function:

   <?php
   require_once '/path/to/sdk/lib/XS.php';
   $xs = new XS('demo');
   $search = $xs->search;
   $search->setFuzzy($search->getDefaultFuzzy());
   $search->setQuery('example');
   $search->setLimit(10); // 返回结果数
   $search->setCutOff(5000); // 返回结果的最大数量
   $result = $search->search();
   foreach ($result as $doc) {
     echo $doc->rank() . ": " . $doc->title . "
   ";
   }
   ?>

   In the above code, we first introduce the Xunsearch SDK and create a search object. Then, we set the search keywords, set the number of returned results, etc. Finally, the search is performed through the search() method, and the results are printed out.

   [Summary]
   By using PHP and Xunsearch, we can improve the speed and accuracy of the search function. By creating indexes and writing search functions, we can easily implement powerful search engine capabilities and provide a good user experience. I hope this article can be helpful to everyone.
