Step 2.8: Generate search index

(optional)

🚧

Search index

Ensembl supports a very basic (direct MySQL) search out of the box, this is best replaced with a search plugin so we have made index_database.pl available to generate an autocomplete/search index compatible with the lepbase search plugin. To use this plugin in your own Ensembl instance you will need to fork the lepbase search repository and edit the database connection details, which are hard-coded into the perl scripts in the plugin.

Bash

cd ~/import
perl ../ei/core/index_database.pl ../ei/conf/core-import.ini

Configuration options

• [META]

[META]
    SPECIES.PRODUCTION_NAME = Operophtera_brumata_v1

SPECIES.PRODUCTION_NAME must match the value used during import to the core database.

• DATABASE_SEARCH

[DATABASE_SEARCH]
	NAME = lepbase_search_31_84_1
	HOST = localhost
	PORT = 3306
	RW_USER = importer
	RW_PASS = importpassword
	RO_USER = anonymous
	RO_PASS =

Connection details for a search database. Existing entries for the same SPECIES.PRODUCTION_NAME will be overwritten each time this script is run.
