searching published worksheets does not work to just search for username

[jason]

It would be really nice if the "Search" function in the upper left of the published worksheet listing also searched for the username (e.g., I could search for "jason3" and get all of my published worksheets).

We should also consider supporting more complex queries, e.g., on an "Advanced Search" page. By the way, according to ​codenode-devel, Codenode uses ​Whoosh for full-text search.

It seems this will work:

sagenb/notebook/worksheet.py

@@ -1973 +1973 @@
         """
         # Load the worksheet data file from disk.
         filename = self.worksheet_html_filename()
-        r = (self.owner().lower() + ' ' + self.name().lower() + ' '
+        r = (self.publisher().lower() + ' ' + self.name().lower() + ' '
              + open(filename).read().lower())
         # Check that every single word is in the file from disk.
         for W in split_search_string_into_keywords(search):

[mpatel]

But:

sage: from sagenb.notebook.worksheet import split_search_string_into_keywords as ss
sage: ss('hello there')
['hello', 'there']
sage: ss(" foo bar  'modular form' hello there")
['modular form', "'", 'hello', 'there']

​Pyparsing is another alternative. There's a ​search query parser among the ​examples. The license appears to be a modified-BSD license.

Should we add modifiers? For example, the search phrase "Fourier user:joe would restrict the search to worksheets published by Joe. Other possible modifiers: title, text_cell, compute_cell, dates, input, output, collaborators, rating.

Search by publisher. Apply to sagenb repo.

Alternate version: Search by owner and publisher. Apply only this patch to sagenb repo.

Should we do more with this ticket?

Nice; this works as advertised.

I like all the discussion above about even more sophisticated searching systems, but of course they shouldn't hold up this ticket getting a... positive review!

I merged this patch into sagenb-0.4.6.
