For functions related to Internet Archive
Notes:
1. Internet Archive runs Lucene search engine (old site). The Beta (new site) runs Elasticsearch.
The search strategies will be updated when the switch occurs, the current strategy is based on Lucene.
2. Program flowchart:
Check if author has birth-death data on Wikidata
If birth-death data
Check number of words in name
Create URL for a 1,2,3,4 or 5+ word name. Include birth-death data.
If accented characters in name append wildcard search to end.
If not birth-death data
Repeat same as above but exclude birth-death data.
3. Lucene has a number of known issues with searching
A. Names with accented letters (é) - aka extended ascii - are problematic. There are records on IA in which the accent has been
dropped thus é is e in the record. Thus a search strategy has to use wildcards in place of extended ascii characters. The "?"
wildcard does not work correctly on Lucene and thus recommend "*". Wildcards severely slow down search times and after about
5 or 8 wildcards it may even time out. Thus, only use wildcards in a single expression within a search string.
B. Extended ascii doesn't work correctly if 1. not surrounded in quotes and 2. search string contains numbers and/or wildcards
somewhere in it and 3. multiple () statements. The extended ascii character becomes interpreted as ascii eg. é -> é
Try for example : (Évariste Régis Huc) OR (Évariste Régis Huc 1813-1860) OR (É. R. Huc) OR (É. R. Huc 1813-1860) OR (Évariste R. Huc) OR (Évariste R. Huc 1813-1860) OR (Évariste Huc) OR (Évariste Huc 1813-1860)
C. B can be nullified by enclosing the string in quotes, but this creates a literal string and many permutations must be searched
on ("John Smith" OR "Smith, John" etc). For names longer than 2 words it could exceed URL limits. URLs are limited to about 2000
characters to account for most browsers (IE is 2083). Thus, search strategies used are a balance between possibilities
and URL length.
