Worked for me.

But how far into the download did you get. The emailed link to the script bring errors for me.

I downloaded it and snooped at the code ;)

Well I don't know how - all I get is the download.cgi file with tons of unreadable text mixed in with the actual plugin. Tried this with IE 6 and Opera. Both the same problem.

It seems the cache is working just fine! The only question I have, is in the admin console I get:

This Plugin is tend for cache the previous results from search
1 d=1&query=cisco

This was the first query I made. I have made several other queries since then. Is it supposed to list those as well?

Sean

Hi,

I didn't test the download.cgi file on IE6 and Opera. I've just updated this script. Hope that you can download with my plugin with these browsers

I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, but it never displays more than the first query.

Sean

Hi,

when it is reinstalled, the cache is deleted

I understand that.

After installing, and doing several searches, it only displays the first query on the admin page.

Sean

Ah! Yes, in the admin panel, it just displays one row from database.

Why does it just display the first row?

Sean

Hi,

I was wonderring that if it is useful so I let it show one line to make sure that my plugin has been installed and worked properly

It's works great for me! Would it be very difficult to let it display all of the rows? I see it clears itself everyday, and that way, you would get a daily list of cached searches.

Next verion will have a fearture for you are easy to configure this value

Thanks! This is a great plugin! Thanks for sharing it!

Sean

Thanks for sharing the plugin Tandat!

Hi Tandat,

If you'd like me to put it up on Gossamer (so it's available when people click 'Show Plugins on Gossamer'), just send me an email with the plugin.

Cheers,

This plugin is working great on my site. A search which normally takes 12-15 seconds (real estate) is now return its results in under 1 second! A most excellent and essential plugin indeed!

A display of all the currently cachced searches would be most useful, and I would like to put my vote in for this on your next realease.

Yeah its nice...I even noticed a difference after installing it when the directory was already using mod_perl.....Im almost up to google speed now :)

Now, if I could only get my silly search timer plugin working :)

http://www.wiredon.net/...ry=sports&catid=

I think the search cache plugin is making it go all funny.

I have both working on my site... search timmer, logger and cahce.... categories.ca.

Not sure why it wouldn't work??

Mine did that as well. You have to make sure you install the timer last. I had to uninstall it, install the search cache, then reinstall it to get it to function properly. It has to do with it's position in plugin.cfg.

Sean

Ahh cool thanks....that fixed the problem!

Ooo 7000 results in 0.03s

I got this message after trying to install the plug in:



Unable to locate the SeachCache.pm file in tar



What should I do?

That happened to me when I intalled the plug in.... from memory I think I just had to rename the tar file. Weird but it worked.... something to do with the name search, not searc or searc or something like that. Wish I could remember exactly.

I just renamed the tar to SearchCache.tar at it worked

Thats what it was... I thought it was something like that. Glad it worked! I'll message Tandat (the author) and let him know.l

Oops, that was my fault. I put it up on Gossamer with a typo. All fixed!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but hopefully this is the right place.

After I install the plugin, and then uninstall it, it no longer stores any queries. Anyone else had this?

Also, the SearchCache menu option only actually displays one record, because $db->search options is set to Limit 1.

I'm getting really strange results with this. If I do 10 searches, it will only log 1 search. Strange.

It seems as though you need to specify lots of the parameters to get it to cache, as in:

search.cgi?query=krohn;bool=and;substring=0;mh=25;

Would it be very difficult to make the SearchCache plugin cache results from the XMLResults plugin as well. As it is now, it doesn't cache the xml results when xml_feed=1 is in the URL. It would be cool to cache XML as well to help speed up your remote searches. Just an idea...

Sean

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your suggestions. I will update the plugin.

Great plugin Tandat!!!

One question though.... do you know if there's a way to return cached results on the search_results.html page using the <%link_results_loop%> ???

I installed your plug once before and never got it returning my cached searchs so I uninstalled untill I had more time to figure out what was wrong. Seeing this thread again got me to give it another try and I discovered you plug only returns cached pages using the <%results_loop%>.

I'd really like to use your plug but I've been using some looping stuff for a while now. Can't really go back and change things.

Thanks a lot for any info on that.

If it isn't very difficult to modify, I wouldn't mind for it to cache my spider results as well. The spider results are displayed by passing spider=1 or spider_only=1 in the URL.

Sean

It does work - but if you make the same search again (or refresh the page) - you get something strange?!?

like... 1045321368.93 seconds..

Any ideas?

Try uninstalling the timer, then reinstalling. The timer plugin has to be installed after the search cache is installed.

Sean

Hi Sean,

Yeah I tried that - even uninstalled the SearchCache and then installed the Timer last... but same result the second time I search - first time it works..

Klaus

You might want to edit your admin/Plugins/plugin.cfg file and make sure the info about the timer plugin is after the search cache plugin info.

Sean

Thanks Sean... did not change anything...

I checked and moved the timer before and after search cache... same result..

First time I search it works - second time with the same search criteria it gives a strange result as above..

Any other ideas?

No sorry, that's what fixed the problem for me. As long as the timer is installed after the search cache plugin, it should be fine. I'm not sure what else could be causing your problem. Make sure the search cache table in empty when trying it again. Also, if you are running under mod_perl, you will need to restart your web server. Other than that, I'm not sure.

Sean

Hi Sean,

mind if I ask you some questions regarding the spider plugin? how I enable multiple pages (paging) when getting lot of results? I've used the next tag in conjunction with the spider_only variable but it seems to be incorecctly calculating the number of pages.

I also have the problem with the timer plugin and the cache, tried ALL your suggestions, but still I get a very strange results. what happens is that the timer instead of giving me accurate results is incremented one second or two between every click, in fact if I wait 10 seconds before refreshing then the timer will give me 10 seconds (as if it is counting the initial start time variable)

The last problem I have is with the timer when used in conjuction with the spider, looks as if they can not work togheter, again, I followed all the suggestions in this forum to make it work (played with the plugin.cfg file, instlaled, uninstalled etc etc) hope you can give me a hand with all this if it is not much.

Thanks,

Hi Klaus, wonder if you have solved you timer plugin problems when used with the cache.

No - I ended up removing the cache Plugin as I did not see much performance improvement and I never got the timer to work regardless of many installs/uninstalls...
