# Search and Displace Core

---
**NOTE**

The installation steps below were tested on an Ubuntu machine and should be adapted for each specific environment.

---

## Install
- Create the `.env` file by copying the contents from the `.env.example` file.

`cp .env.example .env`

- Install the 'sqlite' driver for your PHP version if it is not already installed.

- For the 'QUEUE_CONNECTION' variable in `.env` you can use either `sync` or `redis` (recommended). If you choose to use `redis`
then you need to make sure that it is installed on your machine.

`apt update`

`apt install redis-server`

- Install the `Search and Displace Ingest` app, found here https://git.law/newroco/searchanddisplace-ingest
- Get the URL of the `Search and Displace Ingest` app and add it to the `SD_INGEST_URL` variable in `.env`
- Add in `.env` the `WEBHOOK_CLIENT_SECRET` value which needs to be the same value as the `WEBHOOK_CORE_SECRET` in
the `Search and Displace Ingest` app `.env` file
- Add in `.env` the `SD_DUCKLING_URL` value which by default is `http://0.0.0.0:8000/parse`. You can find
details about installing Facebook Duckling in a section below.

- Install composer
- Install composer dependencies

`composer install`

- Install NodeJS and npm
- Install npm dependencies

`npm install`

- Compile frontend assets

`npm run prod`

- Generate the app key by running the following command:

`php artisan key:generate`

- Migrate DB tables

`php artisan migrate`

- Start Supervisor (after adding the Supervisor configs detailed below)

`supervisorctl start all`

- (Optional) Restart Supervisor after a config file update

`supervisorctl reread`

`supervisorctl update`

`supervisorctl restart <name>`

### Queues Supervisor config
Add a new Supervisor config file in the "/etc/supervisor/conf.d" path like in the example below:

Config file path: /etc/supervisor/conf.d/queue-worker-search-and-displace-core-production.conf

```bash
[program:queue-worker-search-and-displace-core-production]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/html/searchanddisplace-core/artisan queue:listen --queue=sd_core,default --tries=2 --timeout=180
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=www-data
numprocs=3
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/queue/queue-worker-search-and-displace-core-production.log
```

The value for the 'command' key should reflect the app path (in the example above the app's path is "/var/www/html/searchanddisplace-core").

The 'stdout_logfile' value is the log file. All parent directories must already exist.

### Facebook Duckling
- `$ apt-get install libpcre3-dev`
- Go to the directory in which you want to deploy the app (e.g. /var/www/html)
- `$ git clone https://github.com/facebook/duckling.git`
- `$ cd duckling`
- `$ curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh`
- `$ stack build`
- `$ stack exec duckling-example-exe`
- `$ stack test`

### Facebook Duckling Supervisor config
Add a new Supervisor config file in the "/etc/supervisor/conf.d" path like in the example below:

Config file path: /etc/supervisor/conf.d/duckling-worker-search-and-displace-core-production.conf

```bash
[program:duckling-worker-search-and-displacecore-production]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
directory=/var/www/html/fb-duckling
command=sudo -S stack exec duckling-example-exe
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=root
numprocs=1
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/queue/duckling-worker-search-and-displace-core-production.log
```
The value for the 'directory' key should reflect the Facebook Duckling app path (in the example above the path is "/var/www/html/fb-duckling").

The 'stdout_logfile' value is the log file. All parent directories must already exist.

### Converting documents
```bash
# LibreOffice
apt-get install software-properties-common
apt-add-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
apt-get update
apt-get install libreoffice
```

# Searchers
There are 2 types of searchers: basic and compounded

## Basic searcher
There are 2 types of basic searchers: native and custom

### Native basic searcher
This type of searchers are added by default in the app and cannot be edited or deleted.

- Amount of Money
- Credit Card Number
- Distance
- Duration
- Email
- Numeral
- Ordinal
- Phone Numbers
- Quantity
- Temperature
- Time
- Url
- Volume

### Custom basic searcher
You can add a custom basic searcher by clicking the 'Add regex' button found in the navbar.

This searcher is a regular expression.

Example: `[d\]{4}-[d\]{3}-[d\]{3}` searches, in the document, all text strings that
have 4 digits, a dash, 3 digits, a dash, and finally 3 digits; 1234-123-123 is a valid text.

## Compounded searcher
A compounded searcher contains one or more searchers, which can be either basic or comopounded.

The searchers can be listed in two ways: in rows and in columns. Each column in a row
extends the searching criteria and each row filters the results of the previous row.

Let's take as an example the following searcher: the first row has 2 searchers, in the first column
we have the 'Email' native basic searcher and in the second column we have a custom basic searcher
which searches for text strings that have a leading '#' character. The second rows has only one column
and that column has a custom basic searcher which searches for text strings which contain the '@' character.
After we execute the Search&Displace the first row of the searcher will be applied on the initial document content
and will find all email addresses and all text strings which have a leading '#' character, so the operation applies
the searchers in the first row independently, each column extending the searching criteria.
Then the second row will be applied on the results of the first row, so on the email addresses and the text strings
which have a leading '#' character, basically each row filters the results of the previous row.

# Demo Version

Is available here https://demo.searchanddisplace.com/

# Demo Steps

- After the file is uploaded and processed you will see it's contents on the page
- Select searchers by clicking the 'List' button on the right, for each searcher you can input a replace value, so for example if you select the 'Email' searcher and input the replace value as 'EMAIL' then all email addresses which are found in the document will be replaced with the text EMAIL
- After you are done with the searchers selection you can hide the panel by clicking again on the 'List' button
- You can execute the Search&Displace by clicking on the 'Run filters' button
- After the processing is done you will see the resulting document in the right panel, side by side with the initial document
- You can highlight the found and replaced items by toggling the 'Highlight differences' button
