Creating multiple search indexes

This package is able to crawl and create search indexes for multiple sites.

You probably used the site-search:create command to create your first site. This command creates a record in the site_search_configs table.

To crawl and create multiple search indexes, just create multiple rows in that table. When executing site-search:crawl an indexing process for each of those sites will be performed.

These are the attributes you should manually update in the table:

  • name: the name of your index
  • enabled: if set to false , the site-search:crawl command will not crawl and update this index
  • crawl_url: the url to be crawled to populate this index
  • driver_class: the search driver to use. If this value is null, config('site-search.default_driver') will be used when indexing the site
  • profile_class: the search profile to use. If this value is null, config('site-search.default_profile') will be used when indexing the site
  • index_base_name: the name that it used by the underlying search engine (eg. Meilisearch) to determine its index name
  • extra: used to customize various settings

These attributes are set by the package, you should not manually set or update them.

  • index_name: the real name of the underlying index
  • number_of_urls_indexed: the number of URLs that were crawled to created the index in index_name
  • pending_index_name: will be used to hold the temporary index name that is used while indexing
  • crawling_started_at: holds the date of when the crawling started when building up this index
  • crawling_ended_at: holds the date of when the crawling started when building up this index
