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
```
Considering document length in search introduced too much variance in
our search results such that it makes certain searches better but at the
same time made certain searches worst. Instead, we want to have a more
determistic way of ranking search so that it is easier to reason about
why a post is rank higher in search than another.
The long term plan to tackle repeated terms is to restrict the number of
positions for a given lexeme in our search index.
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.

This reverts commit 20780a1eee.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
Adds a new topic_excerpt_maxlength site setting.
* When topic excerpt is requested for a post, use the new topic_excerpt_maxlength site setting to limit the size of the excerpt
* Remove code for getting/setting Post.excerpt_size as it is not used anywhere
This introduces new APIs for obtaining optimized thumbnails for topics. There are a few building blocks required for this:
- Introduces new `image_upload_id` columns on the `posts` and `topics` table. This replaces the old `image_url` column, which means that thumbnails are now restricted to uploads. Hotlinked thumbnails are no longer possible. In normal use (with pull_hotlinked_images enabled), this has no noticeable impact
- A migration attempts to match existing urls to upload records. If a match cannot be found then the posts will be queued for rebake
- Optimized thumbnails are generated during post_process_cooked. If thumbnails are missing when serializing a topic list, then a sidekiq job is queued
- Topic lists and topics now include a `thumbnails` key, which includes all the available images:
```
"thumbnails": [
{
"max_width": null,
"max_height": null,
"url": "//example.com/original-image.png",
"width": 1380,
"height": 1840
},
{
"max_width": 1024,
"max_height": 1024,
"url": "//example.com/optimized-image.png",
"width": 768,
"height": 1024
}
]
```
- Themes can request additional thumbnail sizes by using a modifier in their `about.json` file:
```
"modifiers": {
"topic_thumbnail_sizes": [
[200, 200],
[800, 800]
],
...
```
Remember that these are generated asynchronously, so your theme should include logic to fallback to other available thumbnails if your requested size has not yet been generated
- Two new raw plugin outlets are introduced, to improve the customisability of the topic list. `topic-list-before-columns` and `topic-list-before-link`
Previous to this change slugs for leaves in 3 level nestings would not work
Our UX picks only the last two levels
This also makes the results consistent for slugs as it enforces order.
The new search modifier `in:all` can be used to include both public and personal messages in the same search.
Co-authored-by: adam j hartz <hz@mit.edu>
This feature adds the ability to define synonyms for tags, and the ability to merge one tag into another while keeping it as a synonym. For example, tags named "js" and "java-script" can be synonyms of "javascript". When searching and creating topics using synonyms, they will be mapped to the base tag.
Along with this change is a new UI found on each tag's page (for example, `/tags/javascript`) where more information about the tag can be shown. It will list the synonyms, which categories it's restricted to (if any), and which tag groups it belongs to (if tag group names are public on the `/tags` page by enabling the "tags listed by group" setting). Staff users will be able to manage tags in this UI, merge tags, and add/remove synonyms.
* When viewing a tag, the search widget will now show a checkbox to scope the search by tag, which will limit search results to that tag on desktop and mobile
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
* FEATURE: Add search operator to see all direct messages from a user
* Only show message if related messages >= 5
* Make "all messages" the hyperlink
* Review
The behaviour of #TERM in search has been amended
1. We try category or subcategory slugs
2. We try tags
3. We try tag-groups
The term `hello #my-group` will search for all posts tagged with any of
the tags in the tag group `My Group`
Future work may be introducing a slug cache here or caching it in the table
but the assumption is that the number of tag groups will not be huge
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
The default ranking options ranks by the number of matches which is
highly problematic when posts are stuffed with a keyword. The ranking
will now be divided by the document length which is a much fairer way to
rank.
