Namazu - Full Text Search Engine
Namazu (Japanese for 'catfish') is a flexible search engine that can be configured to index the
content of your Web site, or even your E-mail or personal files. Namazu supports several different
languages, and with the help of Kakasi, ChaSen, and
nkf, is able to capably deal with multiple character sets.
Installation
Namazu is part of the Ports Collection and is also available as a vinstall.
Configuration and Usage
Once Namazu is installed on your Virtual Private Server, you can use the mknmz command to
create an index. For information on using the mknmz command, see the
mknmz documentation. In addition
to using numerous flags with the mknmz command, you can create a mknmzrc file to
tell mknmz how to behave.
With your site indexed, the namazu command can be used to search your site from the command
prompt, or you can use namazu.cgi in your ~/www/cgi-bin/ directory to perform
searches from a Web browser.
Documentation
There is extensive documentation of Namazu at the Namazu.org
Web site. Two good places to start are the
Namazu Tutorial and the
Namazu Manual.
Kakasi - Kanji Kana Simple Inverter
KAKASI is the language processing filter to convert Kanji characters to Hiragana, Katakana or
Romaji and may be helpful to read Japanese documents.
ChaSen - Morphological Analyzer
ChaSen analyzes phrases and groups of words in order to create contextually accurate associations.
nkf - Network Kanji code conversion Filter
nkf is another converter that is able to recognize different types of Kanji code and convert
them to a different type. For help using nkf, run the following command from your Virtual
Private Server command prompt.
# man nkf
In addition to the standalone libraries, Kakasi, ChaSen, and nkf also exist as
Perl Modules, which are installed along with the free
standing versions, and as PHP extensions.
