Search Adapters¶
To create a custom search adapter you will need to subclass the
BaseSearch
class. Then create an instance of the new class and pass
that as the search keyword argument when you create the WebSupport
object:
support = WebSupport(srcdir=srcdir,
builddir=builddir,
search=MySearch())
For more information about creating a custom search adapter, please see the
documentation of the BaseSearch
class below.

class
sphinxcontrib.websupport.search.
BaseSearch
¶ Defines an interface for search adapters.
Changed in version 1.6: BaseSearch class is moved to sphinxcontrib.websupport.search from sphinx.websupport.search.
BaseSearch Methods¶
The following methods are defined in the BaseSearch class. Some methods do not need to be overridden, but some (add_document()
andhandle_query()
) must be overridden in your subclass. For a working example, look at the built-in adapter for whoosh.
