search this list searches more then just this list
Hi there,
We run the following versions:
mailman-core: 3.3.9 mailman-core-api: 3.1 mailman-core-python: 3.11.6 hyperkitty: 1.3.8
We have several lists on our server, I will write down a list of example list names that are good enough for the purpose of my question.
xx@domain.tld <mailto:xx@domain.tld> yy-xx@domain.tld <mailto:yy-xx@domain.tld> zz-xx@domain.tld <mailto:zz-xx@domain.tld>
When I now visit the archives for xx@domain.tld <mailto:xx@domain.tld> and enter a search phrase in “search this list”, the results include the other 2 lists.
It looks like “search this list” searches for keyword in any listname that matches the one from "this list".
Is there a way to really only search “this list” when I go to the archives for xx@domain.tld <mailto:xx@domain.tld>?
I have tried to change the url for the results to have a ‘^’ in front of the listname, but that gives an error :-)
Thanks in advance!

The code says it should match the mailing list name exactly. However, keyword search is not a database function, it's a function of the full-text indexer. HyperKitty uses Django's Haystack function to implement full-text indexed search, which in turn has several backends available (whoosh, xapian, elastic at least).
Which search backend are you using?

Hi, thank you for your message. I dug into what we have, and found this:
HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.whoosh_backend.WhooshEngine',

I have tested and I can confirm that with two lists in the same domain
named test and x-test and with Whoosh as the backend searching the
test list returns hits from both lists, but with Xapian as the
backend, only hits from the test list are returned.
Apparently when Whoosh is given a list name like test@example.com it
finds hits from all lists whose names contain test@example.com. This
is not the case with Xapian.

Yes, thank you! I’ll have a look into changing our backend to Xapian.
Hopefully it will be trivial :)

Heh, sorry :)
It took me a while to find time to try it, but I have just now.
I realize I might just need to be patient to wait for the next cron iteration, but here’s what I currently see happening.
I use containers based on those made by maxking, which luckily already install xapian.
So in settings.py I changed what was there to what was suggested by the documentation pointed to by Odhiambo, adapted for the paths the container can use:
HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = { 'default': { 'PATH': "/opt/mailman-web-data/xapian_index", 'ENGINE': 'xapian_backend.XapianEngine' }, }
When I restart the container the path gets mkdir’ed, but nothing appears in it, and searches give an error.
The logs have this key error message:

Hi, thanks! Just to double check, do you mean str or force_str in the substitution?
I found a comment on this topic regarding django-4 where they advice to use force_str. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70382084/import-error-force-text-from-dj...

Okay, so, I got a bit further, but something still gets stuck.
Here’s what I did. Keep in mind I’m using containers that are built from some CI/CD pipeline, so I updated the pipeline to apply the patch attached to this email to
/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/xapian_backend.py.Before I had 2 list servers with the “Term too long” issue, 1 got resolved by this, and the other did not. I opened a shell in the newly deployed container to confirm the patch was applied in it.
The other attachment to this email is a copy/paste from the full error from
./manage.py rebuild_index.Is there something else special in the email that makes it choke that evades the xapian patch?
Thank you very much in advance!
I tried to change to ‘hash’, but the code in that bit of the function has not been tested enough.
For example hole = sha224(hole.encode('utf8')).hexdigest() comes back with that the bytes object hole does not have an encode() method.
When I change it to hole = sha224(hole).hexdigest(), the following error is:
text = text[:match.start()] + hole + text[match.end():] TypeError: can't concat str to bytes
The ‘hash’ part of that function needs some debugging.

This is all deep in Django/Haystack/Xapian. You will get better advice there.

Yes, presumably because no one sets XAPIAN_LONG_TERM_METHOD=hash in
the environment. Do you have a reason for this?

Actually, it's not an enviroment setting. It's a django setting
XAPIAN_LONG_TERM_METHOD = 'hash'
but in any case, I don't know why anyone would want that. What it does is rather than truncate a long term in the index, it replaces that term with a sha224 hash of the term, but that raises the question of how/why one would be searching for the hash rather than the term.

Hm, I see. Not sure why. The reply I got from mail.mailman3.org <http://mail.mailman3.org/> at 2024-01-25 13:16:25.486 UTC was: "250 2.0.0 Ok: 12772 bytes queued as 55AFD105C02”

I wanted to check and see if I could avoid the “Term too long (>245)" issue this way, but I haven’t gotten to the point where xapian is successful.
Right now I’m back at the original issue as I see no other solution than to go back to whoosh.
Thanks!

I'm not sure why the patch you are using doesn't avoid this, but you could try the other patch at <https://github.com/alexsilva/xapian-haystack/commit/a53523d2d0d13929a0729d48...> instead. If that fails, you could always find the offending message in the database maybe with a query like
SELECT * FROM hyperkitty_email Where subject LIKE
'http://www.google.com/url?q=\%68\%74\%74%';
and modify or delete it - it's probably spam anyway.

I'm not sure why the patch you are using doesn't avoid this, but you could try the other patch at <https://github.com/alexsilva/xapian-haystack/commit/a53523d2d0d13929a0729d48...> instead. If that fails, you could always find the offending message in the database maybe with a query like
SELECT * FROM hyperkitty_email Where subject LIKE 'http://www.google.com/url?q=\%68\%74\%74%';and modify or delete it - it's probably spam anyway.
I tried the other patch, which looked very promising until something that had come in over SMTP some day threw a spanner in the wheels:

I agree that this is very likely the result of some spam, but the main point is that something that comes in over SMTP shouldn’t cause manual work on the listserver side.
I’ll try it with a maximum length of 122 which should never explode into more than 244 bytes, unless I overlook something.
I really wish Xapian would have a reliable fix for this.
Will keep you posted.

This ended up working. :-)
Summary: Patch from https://github.com/alexsilva/xapian-haystack/commit/a53523d2d0d13929a0729d48...
But with TERM_LENGTH_LIMIT = 122
And str() instead of force_str()
Thanks so much for all your efforts!
