Add a stem-exclusion textarea to the admin settings page. Words entered here
(one per line) are passed as stem_exclusion to the language analyzer, preventing
them from being stemmed. Requires a full re-index to take effect.
The two language-dependent fields (stem exclusion, min search length) are
disabled when CJK is selected, since neither applies to bigram analysis.
Settings are reordered: search-scope switches now appear above the language
block so the language-dependent fields sit directly below the language selector.
Replace the lowercase ES identifier labels in the language dropdown with proper
display names (e.g. "Brazilian Portuguese", "CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)",
"Sorani (Kurdish)"). Drift detection now tracks stem exclusion instead of the
removed min_gram index setting.
When params.q is set, Flarum core suppresses TerminalPost and only shows an
excerpt from mostRelevantPost. This leaves the info section empty when the post
is null (e.g. hidden/deleted first post in production) or when results are
ordered by a field sort where an excerpt is meaningless.
Extend DiscussionListItem.infoItems to:
- Replace excerpt with TerminalPost when a field sort (latest, oldest, top) is
active — relevance excerpts are not meaningful when sorted by date/count.
- Fall back to TerminalPost when no excerpt was added (mostRelevantPost null).
- Search with no explicit sort now defaults to latest (updated_at desc)
on both backend and frontend, matching the forum UX expectation.
- "All discussions" link from the search box routes to /?q=...&sort=latest
so the sort dropdown shows "Latest" immediately after submission.
- extendDiscussionState injects sort=-lastPostedAt into API params when
no sort is present, keeping direct-URL navigation (?q=anan) consistent
with the backend default.
- Backend guard changed from phpSortField===null to empty($sorts), which
is the correct sentinel since $sorts is the authoritative ES sort list.
Adds a 'Minimum search query length' setting (1–4, default 3). The admin
shows a warning when the analyzer or min-search-length have changed since
the last index build.
After a mapping change (e.g. the parent-child restructure), existing installs
need to rebuild their index. A DashboardWidget appears on the admin page
warning the admin and showing the command to run. Compatibility is tracked
via the blomstra-search.index-compatible setting.
