Example XML Request Body Required
Here is a simple example of using the search with the minimum required parameter searchStr a string of any reasonable length or content. I like searching with full sentences most!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <xsd:search_ezpedia xmlns:xsd="https://soap.ezpedia.se7enx.com:443/en/bcsoapsearch#search_ezpedia"> <searchStr>wiki</searchStr> </xsd:search_ezpedia> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>
This is the bare minimum in parameters required to get a proper response result but check out the documentation for bcsoapsearch extension to the nusoap extension for additional parameters and customize the code to your own use case requirements!
Example XML Request Body Supported
Here is a simple example of using the search with the minimum required parameter searchStr a string of any reasonable length or content. I like searching with full sentences most!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <xsd:search_ezpedia xmlns:xsd="https://soap.ezpedia.se7enx.com:443/en/bcsoapsearch#search_ezpedia"> <searchStr>php</searchStr> <searchLimit>5</searchLimit> <searchOffset>false</searchOffset> </xsd:search_ezpedia> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>
This is the full supported search engine web service parameters as designed.
This solution is based upon the vintage nusoap extension (repo link coming soon) and implemented as a service using the bcsoapsearch extension implementation (very small, very stable, flexible).
Bots
We plan to implement this in the future as a Share eZPublish! Telegram Group Chat Bot based search solution!
We urge you to consider why writing web services for your website applications these days is vitally important and more often critical to your business.
Enjoy!
