Develop geolocation search functionality using PHP and Manticore Search

Using PHP and Manticore Search to develop the geographical location search function

With the development of the Internet, the geographical location search function has become more and more important in many applications. Whether it is applications such as online maps, traffic navigation or business recommendations, geographical location search plays an irreplaceable role. In this article, we will introduce how to develop geo-location search functionality using PHP and Manticore Search.

Manticore Search is a powerful full-text search engine based on a fork of the Sphinx search engine. Manticore Search supports various search functions, including geolocation search. It uses geolocation coordinates to store and search geolocation data. Therefore, we can use it to implement the geolocation search function.

First, we need to install Manticore Search. You can visit the official website of Manticore Search (https://manticoresearch.com) to download and install the latest version. Once the installation is complete, we need to create an index and set up the geolocation field.

In PHP, we can use the ManticoreSearch library to interact with Manticore Search. First, we need to install the ManticoreSearch library using Composer. In the terminal, navigate to your project directory and run the following command:

composer require manticoresearch/manticoresearch-php

Once the installation is complete, we can start writing code to implement the geolocation search functionality. Let's say we have a business directory app where users can search for nearby businesses based on their current location.

First, we need to create an index containing the geolocation field. Assume that the field name is "location" and the type is "spatial". We can use the methods provided by the ManticoreSearch library to create indexes. The following code shows how to create an index:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use ManticoresearchClient;
use ManticoresearchExceptionsRuntimeException;

// 创建客户端实例
$client = new Client();

try {
    // 建立与搜索引擎的连接
    $client->connect();

    // 创建索引
    $client->indices()->create(['index' => 'stores']);

    // 设置地理位置字段
    $client->indices()->updateSettings([
        'index' => 'stores',
        'body' => [
            'attributes' => [
                'location' => ['type' => 'geopoint'],
            ],
        ],
    ]);
    
} catch (RuntimeException $e) {
    echo "出现错误：" . $e->getMessage();
}

Next, we need to store the merchant’s geographic location data into the index. Let's say we have a list of businesses that contains their names and geographic location coordinates. We can store this data into the index using the methods provided by the ManticoreSearch library. The following code shows how to store business data:

// 假设我们有一个包含商家名称和地理位置坐标的数组
$stores = [
    ['name' => '商家A', 'latitude' => 39.9042, 'longitude' => 116.4074],
    ['name' => '商家B', 'latitude' => 31.2304, 'longitude' => 121.4737],
    // ...
];

foreach ($stores as $store) {
    $data = [
        'name' => $store['name'],
        'location' => [
            'lat' => $store['latitude'],
            'lon' => $store['longitude'],
        ],
    ];
    
    try {
        // 添加文档到索引中
        $client->index('stores')->add($data);
    } catch (RuntimeException $e) {
        echo "存储数据时出现错误：" . $e->getMessage();
    }
}

Now that the business data is stored, we can start to implement the geolocation search function. The following code shows how to search for nearby businesses based on the user's geo-location coordinates:

try {
    // 设置搜索参数
    $params = [
        'index' => 'stores',
        'body' => [
            'query' => [
                'bool' => [
                    'filter' => [
                        'geo_distance' => [
                            'distance' => '10km',
                            'location' => [
                                'lat' => $userLatitude,
                                'lon' => $userLongitude,
                            ],
                        ],
                    ],
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ];
    
    // 执行搜索查询
    $result = $client->search($params);
    
    // 处理搜索结果
    foreach ($result['hits']['hits'] as $hit) {
        echo $hit['_source']['name'] . "
";
    }
    
} catch (RuntimeException $e) {
    echo "搜索时出现错误：" . $e->getMessage();
}

In the above code, we use the geo_distance filter to filter businesses within 10 kilometers of the user's current location . You can adjust the search radius according to your needs.

Through the above steps, we successfully developed the geographical location search function using PHP and Manticore Search. Users can now search for nearby businesses based on their location. You can continue to expand functions, such as adding business details pages, user comments, etc.

Summary:
In this article, we introduced how to use PHP and Manticore Search to develop geolocation search functionality. By understanding the process of using Manticore Search to create indexes, store data, and perform search queries, you can easily develop powerful geo-location search capabilities based on your needs. I wish you success!
