Thread:Semantic-mediawiki.org:Community portal/Using SMW to query Anchors/reply (4)

Good morning:

Honestly; I saw that a search on Wikipedia or MediaWiki could return sections of articles as well as articles. I wanted that precious ring and was told it was accomplished using CirrusSearch. I failed to get CirrusSearch working and got lost trying to follow the detailed configuration advice. Is this because I am using the latest MediaWiki version? Is it because of some configuration I have not done on my wiki? Is it because of subtle CirrusSearch requirements?

The answer to these questions, clearly, was to see if I could have a search of my wiki return article sections by relying solely on SMW.

The solution you provide works neatly and is easy. Thank you Alexander.

I worry that a subobject per anchor adds some overhead per anchor in an article across the wiki. That is to say that it is more work.

In addition to a subobject per anchor; I see that I can shift to a larger number of shorter articles.

Shorter articles will leave me better able to zoom in on a very specific topic without being able to query sections of an article.

Then I will want to mitigate that my articles are become grains of sand on a beach.

I can give each short article a subobject. I can then query to organize related short articles to create a more inclusive article using the Embedded Format.

Sorry to be verbose. Thanks to the forum.
