The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

text_search

text_search performs a search against a full-text index maintained for the CDMI. The parameter "input" is the text string to be searched for. The parameter "entities" defines the entities to be searched. If the list is empty, all indexed entities will be searched. The "start" and "count" parameters limit the results to "count" hits starting at "start".

Example:

    text_search [arguments] < input > output

The standard input should be a tab-separated table (i.e., each line is a tab-separated set of fields). Normally, the last field in each line would contain the identifer. If another column contains the identifier use

    -c N

where N is the column (from 1) that contains the subsystem.

This is a pipe command. The input is taken from the standard input, and the output is to the standard output.

Documentation for underlying call

This script is a wrapper for the CDMI-API call text_search. It is documented as follows:

  $return = $obj->text_search($fids)
Parameter and return types
$fids is a fids
$return is a reference to a hash where the key is a fid and the value is an annotations
fids is a reference to a list where each element is a fid
fid is a string
annotations is a reference to a list where each element is an annotation
annotation is a reference to a list containing 3 items:
	0: a comment
	1: an annotator
	2: an annotation_time
comment is a string
annotator is a string
annotation_time is an int

Command-Line Options

-c Column

This is used only if the column containing the subsystem is not the last column.

-i InputFile [ use InputFile, rather than stdin ]

Output Format

The standard output is a tab-delimited file. It consists of the input file with extra columns added.

Input lines that cannot be extended are written to stderr.
