When the admin creates a new custom field they can specify if that field should be searchable or not.
That setting is taken into consideration for quick search results.
Previously we used the raw data indexed to generate blurbs even for cases
when Chinese/Korean/Japanese text was used.
This caused superfluous spaces to show up in excerpts.
Prior to this change, we had weights for very_high, high, low and
very_low. This means there were 4 weights to tweak and what weights to
use for `very_high/high` and `very_low/low` pair was hard to explain.
This change makes it such that `very_high` search priority will always
ensure that the posts are ranked at the top while `very_low` search
priority will ensure that the posts are ranked at the very bottom.
You can now use `@me` to search for posts created by yourself, this is particularly handy if you have a long username.
`@me rainbow` will find all posts you created with the word rainbow.
Also cleans up test suite so it has no warnings.
After the search term is parsed for advanced search filters, the term may
become empty. Later, the same term will be passed to Discourse.route_for
which will raise an ArgumentError.
> URI(nil)
ArgumentError: bad argument (expected URI object or URI string)
* PERF: avoid lookbehinds when indexing search
Previously we used a `EmailCook.url_regexp` this regex used lookbehinds
Unfortunately certain strings could lead to pathological behavior causing
CPU to skyrocket and regex replace to take a very very long time.
EmailCook still needs a fix, but it is less urgent cause it already splits
to single lines. That said we will correct that as well in a seperate PR.
New implementation is far more naive and relies on the extra spaces search
indexer inserts.
In c6ceda8c, a bug was introduced where an admin searching for his own
private messages will actually end up searching through all private
messages on the site.
Follow-up to c6ceda8c4e
With the addition of `PostSearchData#private_message`, a partial
index consisting of only search data from regular posts can be created.
The partial index helps to speed up searches on large sites since PG
will not have to do an index scan on the entire search data index which
has shown to be a bottle neck.
The filter noops if an incorrect username is passed. This filter is not
exposed as part of the UI but is only used when an admin transitions
from a search within a user's personal messages to the full page search.
Follow-up to 4b30799054.
Note the following query being generated where the filter for a user's
private messages is executed twice.
```sql
SELECT "posts"."id", "posts"."user_id", "posts"."topic_id", "posts"."post_number", "posts"."raw", "posts"."cooked", "posts"."created_at", "posts"."updated_at", "posts"."reply_to_post_number", "posts"."reply_count", "posts"."quote_count", "posts"."deleted_at", "posts"."off_topic_count", "posts"."like_count", "posts"."incoming_link_count", "posts"."bookmark_count", "posts"."score", "posts"."reads", "posts"."post_type", "posts"."sort_order", "posts"."last_editor_id", "posts"."hidden", "posts"."hidden_reason_id", "posts"."notify_moderators_count", "posts"."spam_count", "posts"."illegal_count", "posts"."inappropriate_count", "posts"."last_version_at", "posts"."user_deleted", "posts"."reply_to_user_id", "posts"."percent_rank", "posts"."notify_user_count", "posts"."like_score", "posts"."deleted_by_id", "posts"."edit_reason", "posts"."word_count", "posts"."version", "posts"."cook_method", "posts"."wiki", "posts"."baked_at", "posts"."baked_version", "posts"."hidden_at", "posts"."self_edits", "posts"."reply_quoted", "posts"."via_email", "posts"."raw_email", "posts"."public_version", "posts"."action_code", "posts"."locked_by_id", "posts"."image_upload_id", (TS_RANK_CD(

)) AND ((categories.id IS NULL) OR (NOT categories.read_restricted) OR (categories.id IN (999999))) ORDER BY rank DESC, topic_bumped_at DESC
```
Renamed from `private_messages` to `personal_messages` without
deprecation because the `private_messages` advanced search filter never
worked in the first place when it was implemented.
Similar to `advanced_filter` I introduced `advanced_order`.
I needed a new option because default orders are evaluated after advanced_filter so I couldn't use it.
Also, that part is a little bit more generic
```
elsif word =~ /order:\w+/
@order = word.gsub('order:', '').to_sym
nil
```
After those changes, I can use them in plugins in this way:
```
Search.advanced_order(:votes) do |posts|
posts.reorder("COALESCE((SELECT dvvc.counter FROM discourse_voting_vote_counters dvvc WHERE dvvc.topic_id = subquery.topic_id), 0) DESC")
end
```
This changes PG text search to only match the given title against
lexemes that are formed from the title. Likewise, the given raw will
only be matched against lexemes that are formed from the post's raw.
Follow up to d8c796bc4.
Note that his change increases query time by around 40% in the following
benchmark against `dev.discourse.org` but this is a tradeoff that has to be taken so that relevance
search is accurate.

Indexing query strings in URLS produces inconsistent results in PG and
pollutes the search data for really little gain.
The following seems to work as expected...
```
discourse_development=# SELECT TO_TSVECTOR('https://www.discourse.org?test=2&test2=3');
to_tsvector
------------------------------------------------------
'2':3 '3':5 'test':2 'test2':4 'www.discourse.org':1
```
However, once a path is present
```
discourse_development=# SELECT TO_TSVECTOR('https://www.discourse.org/latest?test=2&test2=3');
to_tsvector
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'/latest?test=2&test2=3':3 'www.discourse.org':2 'www.discourse.org/latest?test=2&test2=3':1
```
The lexeme contains both the path and the query string.
Previously, we would only take either the `MIN` or `MAX` for
`post_number` during aggregation meaning that the ranking is not
considered.

In 91c89df6, I fixed the onebox to support local topics with a slug-less URL.
This commit fixes all the other spots (search, topic links and user badges) where we look up for a local topic.
