Filtering search results based on content-i18n

[Markus Schwarz-2]

Hi there,
I've got some trouble filtering my search query based on language. I  
use i18n based on url-rewriting with /de/ and /en/ prefixes.

In my search results i get always both, german and english results.  
how can I filter the results basen on language?

<form name="mgnlsearch" action="" method="post">
                        <input type="text" name="query" class="search" value="$
{param.query}"/>${blank}
                        <input type="image" class="searchButton" src="$
{pageContext.request.contextPath}/docroot/samples/imgs/search.gif"/>
                        </form>




Mit freundlichen Grüßen

i.A.  Markus Schwarz

There are two simple solutions:
- maintain each language tree separately (in that case you can  
restrict the search to a certain hierarchy)
- index the content externally. We have successfully used google site  
search for that:
   -- http://www.google.com/enterprise/search/index.html

The main problem of 1:1 i18n is that all content is stored under the  
same node and therefore the search is applied on all languages. This  
can be seen as a feature but might be unwanted in other cases.

3:
  - if you're using a single tree, customize the search query and add  
something along the lines of "and language='de'" to it, where  
'language' is the node property defining which language the page is in.

This won't work because the same node contains all language data:

- node
   - text_en
   - text_de

the only solution would be to consequently name the properties you  
search for: select * from nt:base where contains(text_de, expression).

@Markus: do I understand your problem correctly?

Hi, Grégory and Philipp,
thanks a lot for your fast response, I thought about Grégorys  
solution, but didn't grok it.

Now I'll try to manage the query.

I already use a language-switch, which sets some strings, based on  
selected language:

<c:set var="currlang" value="${pageContext.request.contextPath}$
{requestScope['javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path']}"/>
        <c:set var="englisch" value="${fn:replace(currlang, '/de/', '/en/')}"/>
        <c:set var="deutsch" value="${fn:replace(currlang, '/en/', '/de/')}"/>

        <c:set var="suche" value="Search"/>

        <c:if test="${fn:contains(currlang, '/en/')}">
                <c:set var="suche" value="Search"/>
                <c:set var="ihreSuche" value="Your query: "/>
                <c:set var="sorry" value="Your search for - "/>
                <c:set var="sorryEnd"  value=" - did not match any documents."/>
        </c:if>
       
        <c:if test="${fn:contains(currlang, '/de/')}">
                <c:set var="suche" value="Suche"/>
                <c:set var="ihreSuche" value="Ihre Suchergebnisse: "/>
                <c:set var="sorry" value="Es wurden keine mit Ihrer Suchanfrage - "/>
                <c:set var="sorryEnd"  value=" - übereinstimmenden Dokumente  
gefunden."/>
        </c:if>

I will use the same logic to modifiy the query.




Mit freundlichen Grüßen
