Currently, when doing `@mention` for users we have 0 tolerance for typos and misspellings.
With this patch, if a user search doesn't return enough results we go and use `pg_trgm` features to try and find more matches based on trigrams of usernames and names.
It also introduces GiST indexes on those fields in order to improve performance of this search, going from 130ms down to 15ms in my tests.
This is all gated in a feature flag and can be enabled by running `SiteSetting.user_search_similar_results = true` in the rails console.

The new `prioritize_exact_search_match` can be used to force the search
algorithm to prioritize exact term matches in title when ranking results.
This is scoped narrowly to titles for cases such as a topic titled:
"organisation chart" and a search of "org chart".
If we scoped this wider, all discussion about "org chart" would float to
the top and leave a very common title de-prioritized.
This is a hidden site setting and it has some performance impact due
to double ranking.
That said, performance impact is somewhat mitigated cause ranking on
title alone is a very cheap operation.
Currently `Topic#pm_topic_count` is a count of all personal messages tagged for a given tag. As a result, any user with access to PM tags can poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new personal message has been created using that tag even if the user does not have access to the personal message. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
With this commit, `Topic#pm_topic_count` is hidden from users by default unless the `display_personal_messages_tag_counts` site setting is enabled.
* FEATURE: allow restricting duplication in search index
This introduces the site setting `max_duplicate_search_index_terms`.
Using this number we limit the amount of duplication in our search index.
This allows us to more correctly weight title searches, so bloated posts
don't unfairly bump to the top of search results.
This feature is completely disabled by default and behind a site setting
We will experiment with it first. Note entire search index must be rebuilt
for it to take effect.

A while back the definition of TL was changed but many
areas in the codebase still use the term 'Regular user'
despite it having some implicit meaning (TL2).
See 20140905055251_rename_trust_level_badges.rb
Many users seems surprised by prefix matching in search leading to
unexpected results.
Over the years we always would return results starting with a search term
and not expect exact matches.
Meaning a search for `abra` would find `abracadabra`
This introduces the Site Setting `enable_search_prefix_matching` which
defaults to true. (behavior unchanged)
We plan to experiment on select sites with exact matches to see if the
results are less surprising
This will allow us more granular control over changing a topic status.
For example you can now force the scope to only allow closing topics in
a specific category. This means that the same scope can't be used to
re-open topics, or close topics in a different category.
In dev/prod, these are absorbed by unicorn. Most commonly, they occur when a client interrupts a message-bus long-polling request.
Also reverts the EPIPE workaround introduced in 011c9b9973
This commit allows us to set the channel slug when creating new chat
channels. As well as this, it introduces a new `SlugsController` which can
generate a slug using `Slug.for` and a name string for input. We call this
after the user finishes typing the channel name (debounced) and fill in
the autogenerated slug in the background, and update the slug input
placeholder.
This autogenerated slug is used by default, but if the user writes anything
else in the input it will be used instead.
Currently, `Tag#topic_count` is a count of all regular topics regardless of whether the topic is in a read restricted category or not. As a result, any users can technically poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new topic is created in a category which the user has not excess to. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Introduce `Tag#public_topic_count` which only count topics which have been tagged with a given tag in public categories.
2. Rename `Tag#topic_count` to `Tag#staff_topic_count` which counts the same way as `Tag#topic_count`. In other words, it counts all topics tagged with a given tag regardless of the category the topic is in. The rename is also done so that we indicate that this column contains sensitive information.
3. Change all previous spots which relied on `Topic#topic_count` to rely on `Tag.topic_column_count(guardian)` which will return the right "topic count" column to use based on the current scope.
4. Introduce `SiteSetting.include_secure_categories_in_tag_counts` site setting to allow site administrators to always display the tag topics count using `Tag#staff_topic_count` instead.
Specifying wildcard characters which also happen to be regex
meta characters for `auto_approve_email_domains`, `allowed_email_domains`
and `blocked_email_domains` site settings currently breaks email
validation.
This change prevents these characters from being specified for these
site settings. It does this by switching the site setting type
from `list` to `host_list`. The `host_list` validator checks for these
characters.
In addition, this change also improves the site setting descriptions and
introduces a migration to fix existing records.
This was previously disabled because of incompatibility with the ember-cli proxy. This commit fixes that incompatibility, and restores the development behaviour to match production.
There were three issues at play:
1. Our bootstrap-js addon handles the forwarding of most requests in the ember-cli proxy. This is not built to handle streaming responses. Solution: skip our custom request processing for `/message-bus/*` and use ember-cli's default `http-proxy`.
2. The request/response size-limiting middleware (`rawMiddleware`) would apply even to unhandled paths, causing request and response bodies to be buffered. Solution: skip it for any paths which are not handled by our custom addon.
3. Expressjs servers will buffer/compress responses. Solution: add `Cache-Control: no-transform` to message-bus responses. For now I've done this in development only, but it may be useful to add it to message-bus's default headers in future
The `enable_new_notifications_menu` site setting allows sites that have
`navigation_menu` set to `legacy` to use the redesigned notifications
menu before switching to the new sidebar navigation menu.
This patch introduces a cookies rotator as indicated in the Rails
upgrade guide. This allows to migrate from the old SHA1 digest to the
new SHA256 digest.
