How to embed full text search in bookreader? #26

Open marcolino opened 11 years ago

marcolino commented 11 years ago

The openlibrary/bookreader demo does not include text search. Is it possible to enable it? (on openlibrary.org, for example at http://www.archive.org/stream/awakeningofsprin00wedeiala#page/n5/mode/2up, it's alive and kicking... :-) Of course I know I will have to OCR all of my books and have the coordinates of the boxes of all the words for all the pages for all the books...

It is possible yes, we use it on our digital library there : http://1886.u-bordeaux3.fr/items/show/1384 use the tab "Consulter" and you'll be able to search a string (search "belsunce" for example). You need to associate with your reader a page that will answer to a query by giving the coordinates of the words matching ( http://1886.u-bordeaux3.fr/book-reader/index/fulltext/fulltext/?item_id=1384&doc=1384&path=http://1886.u-bordeaux3.fr/&q=belsunce&callback=br.BRSearchCallback for example).

Can you please specify in detail the libraryes you use? I started from the demo, and it does not include the test search code... And, did you build the "page that will answer to a query by giving the coordinates of the words matching", or you used something from the library?

Yes, the page that returns the x,y of every word has been developped by us, it's not available via Internet Archive plugin as far as I know.

To add the searchbox in the demo you need to comment (or remove) the following line : $('#textSrch').hide(); available at the end of BookReaderJSSimple.js file in BookReaderDemo directory.
