Re: search functionality for whole website

[Felix Geisendörfer]

Well you could refactor the Search functionality into an own model, which would make sense to me. But you don't necessarily have to do that. You can put this in any controller to say that no Model is being used: var $uses = array(); But really, if you plan to implement a quality search into a high usage web site, you should seriously consider maintaining an own search index as well as to do some regex on the queries (so users can use "two words" and such). Once you get into this topic you'll find out, that doing a good job on search (even for your own db), is not all that easy. I mean you can literally spend 50 hours (and more ...) to write the code required for an intelligent search tool. I've worked on a file search tool for my personal use in CakePHP, and I was really surprised about the complexity that comes with it. If I find some time this sommer I might try to create a Generic Search Model for CakePHP, that will work together with different types of crawlers you can create by yourself (DB Tables, RSS feeds, Html, XML, Image Meta data, ...). I think it's quite an interesting topic and if anybody else would be interested in it it might well be worth a little CakeForge project.
