Blast Search Lucene module enables you to get superquick results delivered to external application
Options are:
1) if applications are on the same server you can simply include Magento code and use module method:
$queryText = 'stainless';
$storeId = 1;
$mageFilename = '../path_to_your_magento_document_root/app/Mage.php';
require_once $mageFilename;
umask(0);
$app = Mage::app('default');
$indexer = Mage::getModel('blastlucenesearch/blastlucenesearch');
$indexer->setStoreId($storeId);
$products_data= $indexer->getResultsForApi($queryText);
print_r($products_data);
2)use Webservices API to get products
Login to your admin
Go to System-> Webservices -> Roles
Create new role
Enter name and select resource (Php4u) – make sure that Resource access it is set to custom
Then create new user (System -> Webservices -> Roles)
Assign it to newly Created role
Save it
Then you can use Soap or XMLRPC to access search results
$client = new SoapClient('http://YOURDOMAIN/api/soap/?wsdl');
$session = $client->login('lucene', 'lucene'); // your api login details created before
$result = $client->call($session, 'php4u_blastlucene.search', array('sony', 1,)); // query text, store Id
print_r($result);
$client->endSession($session);
You can test it with our test website at http://magento.php4u.co.uk/api/soap/?wsdl
