[GeoNetwork-users] Geonetwork xml.search and keywords

GeoNetwork GeoNetwork User
1

Hi,

All this testing has been done under both the trunk and 2.6.3 releases.

I've been playing around with the 'xml.search' request documented at http://geonetwork-opensource.org/latest/developers/xml_services/metadata_xml_services.html#search-metadata-xml-search with the intention of scraping the keyword + count list for usage within an external service (think tag cloud or equivalent).

The only problem is that the keyword list seems to be ALWAYS limited to 10 results and I know for a fact there are many more keywords than that in my service. Is there any way to specify the maximum number of keywords to be returned? I can't seem to find anything in the documentation I linked above.

So far I've tried the following with no success...

HTTP GET - http://my.fake.host/geonetwork/srv/en/xml.search
HTTP POST - http://my.fake.host/geonetwork/srv/en/xml.search
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<request>
<hitsPerPage>100</hitsPerPage>
</request>

Thanks
Josh Vote

Hi Josh,

Yep, you are right, default value for the max keyword number is 10!

You just have to provide the following parameter to the search service
"maxSummaryKeys" and you will be able to display as much as you want!

In order to not specify it for each requests, you might want to modify the
default xml.search service config (in config.xml file) to set your
own maxSummaryKeys value :

<service name="xml.search">
<class name=".services.main.XmlSearch">
<param name="maxSummaryKeys" value="100" />
<param name="maxHitsInSummary" value="1000" />
</class>
        ...
</service>

HTH,
Cheers,

Mathieu
