[Wikitech-l] Making the query opensearch API working fine on a self hosted wikimedia server
Hi all, I'm Hicham from Paris. I just created a young company which mission is to make the web speak :) As a first step, I'm building a french version of *Wofram Alpha QA like * system based on dbpedia wikimedia API. As I had some issues to get quick API results for queries, I decided to install wikimedia and host my own version of the french Wikipedia. I did the install from scratch. Following the online documentation, I managed to do it using MWdumper http://izipedia.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:Accueil_principal *My first issue is the following:* I have an article in wikipédia about this guy: http://izipedia.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Andr%C3%A9_Manoukian When I search for it in the french official wikipedia api server I got a result http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearchlimit=10format=xmlsearch=andre%20manoukiannamespace=0 but not in my server http://izipedia.com/mediawiki/api.php?action=opensearchlimit=10format=xmlsearch=andre%20manoukiannamespace=0 Although, in other cases opensearch works fine http://izipedia.com/mediawiki/api.php?action=opensearchlimit=10format=xmlsearch=new%20york Any idea ? *My second issue is the following:* Api calls never work with the param *query* See for example http://www.izipedia.com/mediawiki/api.php?action=querylist=searchformat=xmlsrsearch=new%20york wich once again is working really nicely in the official server http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=querylist=searchformat=xmlsrsearch=new%20york In advance thank you very much for your kind advices, best regards, Hicham -- *Hicham Tahiri | Founder of Vocal Apps* *+33760747891 | www.vocal-apps.com | @vocal_appshttp://www.twitter.com/vocal_apps * *24 rue de l'Est, Paris Incubateurs 75020 Paris* ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Any idea ?
Wild guess: Your HTML is not well-formed (unclosed elements like p or
small) because many used templates (e.g. literal {{#if:
2-7499-0796-9 in the Manoukian article) are missing / uninterpreted.
Templates used in the New York article don't include such markup.
Make sure templates are installed and try again? :)

Perhaps extension:TitleKey and/or extension:MWSearch ( with the lucene
stuff). The default search stuff with no extensions is kind of rudimentary.

Thanks Andre Brian !
In fact I didn't install any template !
Is there a tutorial about that ? Same for adding extensions, I didn't find
a way to that from the admin panel ?
Any link(s) will be welcome

Wikipedia database dumps do include the site's templates; however, you
need to install all the extensions listed under Greffons de l'analyseur
syntaxique on
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Version
In particular, the ParserFunctions extension is necessary for {{#if:
(used by many Wikipedia templates) to work correctly and not show up on
screen.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Making the query opensearch API working fine on a self hosted wikimedia server
I believe search is done on non-expanded wikitext, so I doubt that parser
functions makes much of a difference (however it is important in order for
your wikis not to be broken for human visitors).
The two extensions I was talking about were:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TitleKey which makes certain
things be case insensitive.
And more importantly
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MWSearchalong with
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lucene-search . This will
significantly improve your search results and is what wikipedia uses for
search. However be warned that this a hard extension to install. (Probably
the hardest to install of any mediawiki extension. )
