Couchbase PHP SDK 2.2.0 — Example With Full Text Search

Today I'd like to announce the PHP SDK 2.0.0 GA, which brings a couple of new fetures along with more fixes and improvements. In this blog post I will demonstrate one of them (for a full list of changes refer to the Release Notes).

Full Text Search API

You may have heard about this API previously, but this time lets show it from PHP. We assume you have installed Couchbase 4.5 as a minimum and have setup the enhanced sample bucket beer-sample with defined Full Text index. More information about configuring index find in Full Text search section of SDK guide.

openBucket('beer-sample');

//we use a simple form of search:
$query = CouchbaseSearchQuery::match('national');

//we fire the search and look at results
$result = $bucket->query(new CouchbaseSearchQuery('beerIndex', $query));
printf("score      id\n----------------------------\n");
foreach ($result->hits as $row) {
  printf("%f   %s\n", $row->score, $row->id);
}
printf("----------------------------\n");
printf("total hits: %d\n", $result->metrics['total_hits']);
