GoldenDict Forum

I just want to ask about the state of Full text search engine. In past I read someone was already written a piece of code for it, but as I download every new release I still can not see this feature. Can you inform me about its state?

Thanx

Hmm, no answer after weeks. Maybe it was told already about the state somewhere in this forum. Sorry for that.
I have seen this request among issues. I just wanted to feel the hope for the future. As I saw many people hold other dictionary apps because of full text searching. I of course can not force anyone to something. This is a free project. I want me only inform if full text code is so hard to program?

hope full text search will be available on GD soon and that will make GD even more powerful . after all, even an Android app called Bluedict can do keyword search in full dict text

See issue:https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/issues/8

Babiloo also realised full-text search. Source code here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~babiloo-de ... runk/files
(older: http://code.google.com/p/babiloo/source/browse/)

I found a description, how to add full-text in GoldenDict for DSL format:
http://lisok3ajr.wordpress.com/2012/09/ ... oldendict/

Maybe this program (or its ideas) could help to create fast full-text search:

Good news.
There is some plugin to enable GoldenDict full-text-search for StarDict type dictionaries . (Potencial is for SlowoDictionary.)

But you must have more recent version than GoldenDict 1.0.1: GoldenDict 1.0.1 not support external program as plugin. The more recent version (Early Access Builds) can be found via https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/wiki/_pages . But openSUSE Linux users can use this „1-click install“ link.

You also need Python 2.7 version (Python 3.x may not work). Windows users can download it from http://www.portablepython.com/ . Today the newest Python2 version is 2.7.3.2 and is here. For plugin your need only minimal installation of Python ( ~50MB, not ~500MB).

- You must download GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries.zip and extract it.
- start GoldenDict ;
- press F3 key;
- select tab „Progams“
- press „Add...“
- Select type "html"
- write name of pseudo-dictionary
- Enable it.
- write as command line

Code: Select all

python /path/to/full-text-search.py "%GDWORD%" "/path/to/dictionary/dictionary_prefix"

(dictionary_prefix means name of dictionary file, but witout .dict, without .ifo, witout .dict.dz)
Example for Linux:

Code: Select all

python2 "/home/user/.goldendict/GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries/full-text-search.py" "%GDWORD%" "/usr/share/stardict/dic/LIKIT EKZ 2008/LIKIT EKZ 2008"

Example for Windows:

Code: Select all

"F:\Portable Python 2.7.3.2\App\python.exe" "F:\GoldenDict\GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries\full-text-search.py" "%GDWORD%" "F:\GoldenDict\content\dic\LIKIT EKZ 2008\LIKIT EKZ 2008"

- try search text like „|word“ („|“ is mandatory)

- If you want always use this pseudo-dictionary, then change "%GDWORD%" to "|%GDWORD%" ( this will add „|“ before search word).

Tested in openSUSE 12.3 Linux with Python 2.7.3.
To avoid conflict between both installed Python 2 and 3, execute python2

Tested in Windows 7 with Python 2.7.3.2.

Fox text highlighting using BeautifulSoup, but this module is plugin archive („bs4“ folder).
But you can use simpler script full-text-search-simpler.py (and not full-text-search.py) if you want work faster or if you have problems with BeautifulSoup.

--
For SlowoDictionary, we need incorporate http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~babiloo-de ... tionary.py

I've done it following the instructions but without success.
OS: Windows 8
GD Version: #738

And What error you see then try to search with "|word"?
Or you don't see you new pseudo-dictionary?

Or maybe your dictionary is very big, so it takes much more time to scan it and process it?
You may use full-text-search-simpler.py (and not full-text-search.py) to work faster.

The error you may see:

If you made error in path to Python executable, you may don't see any error or may see this:

Query error: The program has returned exit code 255.

If you path to Python executable contains space character, must quote path like "C:\Program Files\Python27\python.exe"


If you try use Python3 (and not Python 2.7):

Query error: The program has returned exit code 1. Traceback (most recent call last): File "GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries/full-text-search-simpler.py", line 105, in <module> print(do_search(args.word,args.file)) File "GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries/full-text-search-simpler.py", line 72, in do_search text=text.decode(sys.getfilesystemencoding()) AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

If you made error in path to python script:

Query error: The program has returned exit code 2. python: can't open file 'GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries/full-text-search-simpler.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

If you path contains space character, must quote path.


If you made error in path to StarDict dictionary, you may see:

Query error: The program has returned exit code 1. Traceback (most recent call last): File "GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries/full-text-search-simpler.py", line 105, in <module> print(do_search(args.word,args.file)) File "GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries/full-text-search-simpler.py", line 74, in do_search dict = pystardict.StarDict(dictionary_file_prefix) File "GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries/pystardict.py", line 426, in __init__ DictionaryType.__init__(self, filename_prefix) File "GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries/dictionary.py", line 71, in __init__ self.load(self.__filepath) File "GoldenDict_plugin_for_full-text-search_in_StarDict_dictionaries/pystardict.py", line 454, in load raise DictFormatError(e) dictionary.DictFormatError: Exception('.ifo file does not exists',)

For example, if you dictionary is
"F:\GoldenDict\content\dic\LIKIT EKZ 2008\LIKIT EKZ 2008.ifo"
you should specify path to it as
"F:\GoldenDict\content\dic\LIKIT EKZ 2008\LIKIT EKZ 2008"
(without .ifo)

embar, thanks for your explanation.

I've tried to search keyword like "|ser",
the programma doesn't show any error...
it just doesn't show anything, I don't know why...

I think that you have very big dictionary. Scanning with this plugin is not as fast as with StarDict program.
For example, I have dictionary with 60000 articles; scanning of articles takes ~12 seconds.
