Article history (revisions), search, etc. about jwbf HOT 6 OPEN

Hi guiwp,

good point, but actually I have a few other plans instead of adding search entities, but if you want to help it seems not very difficult. (Else I have to schedule this task for later.)

See:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Search
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php (search for "Perform a full text search.")

Maybe like this:

public class Search extends TitleQuery<SearchResult> {
...
Get searchRequest = new ApiRequestBuilder().action("query") //
        .formatJson() //
        .paramNewContinue(mediaWikiVersion) //
        .param("list", "search") //
        .param("srsearch", "wikipedia") //
        .param("srbackend", "CirrusSearch") // or LuceneSearch
// http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search
// &srsearch=wikipedia&srbackend=CirrusSearch&format=json&continue=-||
...

public class SearchResult {
  final int namespace;
  final String title;
  final String snippet;
  ...
}

At JsonMapperTest.java you can find an example how to map any json response.

Good answer, I found very simple and effective to start testing adding stuff into the code. But anyway, I feel that I can wait (as you said Else I have to schedule this task for later).

Thank you again :)

I'm interested in adding a search function as described here.

@guiwp have you tried gerhardgossen implementation? Actual without a toggle for srbackend but maybe enough?

@eldur What's the status on getting old revisions of an article? I suppose it should be implemented by adding a support for rvendid and rvstartid API request parameters into the GetRevision -- or perhaps by adding a similar class dedicated only to getting specific revisions (i.e. having a List<SimpleArticle> as its primary return type). The query itself seems to look like this: /api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=TitleOfTheArticle&rvprop=timestamp|user|comment|content&rvendid=OLDER_REVISION&rvstartid=NEWER_REVISION (switching the older and newer revisions if rvdir=newer is given as well).
