An easy to use full-website page crawler to make provide search results on your page. The crawler module gather all information about the sites on the configured domain and stores the index in the database. From there you can now create search queries to provide search results. There are also helper methods which provide intelligent search results by splitting the input into multiple search queries (used by default).

    //...
    'crawler' => [
        'class' => 'luya\crawler\frontend\Module',
        'baseUrl' => 'https://luya.io',
        /*
        'filterRegex' => [
            '#.html#i', // filter all links with `.html`
            '#/agenda#i', // filter all links which contain the word with leading slash agenda,
            '#date\=#i, // filter all links with the word date inside. for example when using an agenda which will generate infinite links
        ],
        'on beforeProcess' => function() {
            // optional add or filter data from the BuilderIndex, which will be processed to the Index afterwards
        },
        'on afterIndex' => function() {
            // optional add or filter data from the freshly built Index
        }
        */
    ],
    'crawleradmin' => 'luya\crawler\admin\Module',
]

Where baseUrl is the domain you want to crawler all information.

After setup the module in your config you have to run the migrations and import command (to setup permissions):

./vendor/bin/luya migrate
./vendor/bin/luya import

Running the Crawler

To execute the command (and run the crawler proccess) use the crawler command crawl, you should put this command in cronjob to make sure your index is up-to-date:

Make sure your page is in utf8 mode (<meta charset="utf-8"/>) and make sure to set the language <html lang="<?= Yii::$app->composition->langShortCode; ?>">.

./vendor/bin/luya crawler/crawl

In order to provide current crawl results you should create a cronjob which crawls the page each night: cd httpdocs/current && ./vendor/bin/luya crawler/crawl

Crawler Arguments

All crawler arguments for crawler/crawl, an example would be crawler/crawl --pdfs=0 --concurrent=5 --linkcheck=0:

Stats

You can also get statistic results enabling a cronjob executing each week:

./vendor/bin/luya crawler/statistic

Create search form

Make a post request with query to the crawler/default/index route and render the view as follows:

<?php
use luya\helpers\Url;
use yii\widgets\LinkPager;
use luya\crawler\widgets\DidYouMeanWidget;
/* @var $query string The lookup query encoded */
/* @var $language string */
/* @var $this \luya\web\View */
/* @var $provider \yii\data\ActiveDataProvider */
/* @var $searchModel \luya\crawler\models\Searchdata */
?>

<form class="searchpage__searched-form" action="<?= Url::toRoute(['/crawler/default/index']); ?>" method="get">
    <input id="search" name="query" type="search" value="<?= $query ?>">
    <input type="submit" value="Search"/>
</form>

<h2><?= $provider->totalCount; ?> Results</h2>

<?php if ($query && $provider->totalCount == 0): ?>
    <div>No results found for &laquo;<?= $query; ?>&raquo;.</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?= DidYouMeanWidget::widget(['searchModel' => $searchModel]); ?>
<?php foreach($provider->models as $item): /* @var $item \luya\crawler\models\Index */ ?>
    <h3><?= $item->title; ?></h3>
    <p><?= $item->preview($query); ?></p>
    <a href="<?= $item->url; ?>"><?= $item->url; ?></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?= LinkPager::widget(['pagination' => $provider->pagination]); ?>
