Search Adapters
===============
To create a custom search adapter you will need to subclass the
:class:`BaseSearch` class. Then create an instance of the new class and pass
that as the `search` keyword argument when you create the :class:`~.WebSupport`
object::
support = WebSupport(srcdir=srcdir,
builddir=builddir,
search=MySearch())
For more information about creating a custom search adapter, please see the
documentation of the :class:`BaseSearch` class below.
.. class:: BaseSearch
Defines an interface for search adapters.
BaseSearch Methods
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following methods are defined in the BaseSearch class. Some methods do
not need to be overridden, but some (:meth:`~BaseSearch.add_document` and
:meth:`~BaseSearch.handle_query`) must be overridden in your subclass. For a
working example, look at the built-in adapter for whoosh.
.. automethod:: BaseSearch.init_indexing
.. automethod:: BaseSearch.finish_indexing
.. automethod:: BaseSearch.feed
.. automethod:: BaseSearch.add_document
.. automethod:: BaseSearch.query
.. automethod:: BaseSearch.handle_query
.. automethod:: BaseSearch.extract_context
