Eclipse plugin: InstaSearch – for quick search

InstaSearch is an Eclipse plug-in for performing quick and advanced search of workspace files. This will index the files and when you search for some file contents, it will look with in this index and the search results will be faster, just like the Goolge instant search. It uses Lucene ( http://lucene.apache.org/ ) for indexing and fast searching of files in the workspace. Each search result file then can be previewed using few most matching and relevant lines. A double-click on the match leads to the matching line in the file.

Main Features

Instantly shows search results
Shows a preview using relevant lines
Periodically updates the index
Matches partial words (e.g. case in CamelCase)
Opens and highlights matches in files
Searches JAR source attachments
Supports filtering by extension/project/working set

Download / Installation

http://marketplace.eclipse.org/search/apachesolr_search/instasearch?filters=tid:31

Search Tips( check http://lucene.apache.org/java/1_9_1/queryparsersyntax.html )

If you search the text “MyTestJava”,it will look for My*, My*Java, Test*Java, Java* in files
If you search the text “mytestjava”,it will look for mytestjava in files
Wildcard searches Eg: app* initialize
Excluding words Eg: application -initialize
Limit by location – directory, projects or working set Eg: proj:MyProject,OtherProject application init
Limit by filename, extension or modification time Eg: name:app* ext:java,xml,txt modified:yesterday
Search by file name initials (e.g. FOS to find FileOutputStream.java) Eg: name:FOS
If you are looking for term “index” in “java” files with file name starting with “SearchFacet”, use: index name:SearchFacet* ext:java

ATG - how to create and deploy a new atg module

ATG products are packaged as a number of separate application modules. Application modules exist in the ATG installation as a set of directories defined by a manifest file. To create a new module, follow the below steps : Create a module directory within your ATG installation. Create a META-INF directory within the module directory. Note that this directory must be named META-INF. Create a manifest file named MANIFEST.MF and include it in the META-INF directory for the module. The manifest contains the meta-data describing the module. A module located at <ATG2007.1dir>/MyModule is named MyModule and a module located at <ATG2007.1dir>/CustomModules/MyModule is named CustomModules.MyModule. Within the subdirectory that holds the module, any number of files may reside in any desired order. These files are the module resources (EAR files for J2EE applications, WAR files for web applications, EJB-JAR files for Enterprise JavaBeans, JAR files of Java class...

At the same time, there will be additional liabilities for income like interest on deposits, bonds and even capital gains which might require you to pay Advance Tax.

ATG Search architectural flow : Search and Index

I would like to explain the high level ATG Search implementation architecture ( for an online store) through the above diagram. In this diagram 1.x denotes the search functionality and 2.x denotes the indexing functionality. I have given JBoss as the application server. Physical Boxes and Application Servers in the diagram ( as recommended by ATG ) : Estore ( Commerce ) Box --> The box with the estore/site ear (with the site JSPs and Java codes). Search Engine Box --> The box with the search engine application running. Indexing Engine Box --> The box with the indexing engine application running. CA (Content Administration) Box --> The box with the ATG CA ear ( where we could take CA -BCC - Search Administration and configure the search projects) . Search Indexer Box --> The box with the ATG Search Index ear ( to fetch the index data from repository). Note that the engine performing indexing will need access ...
