# Story 10.2: FTS5 Infrastructure

**Status:** review

---

## User Story

As a developer,
I want an FTS5 virtual table indexing all searchable entities,
So that search queries can be executed with BM25 ranking.

---

## Acceptance Criteria

**Given** products, features, tests, and bugs tables exist with data
**When** the Alembic migration runs
**Then** a `search_index` FTS5 virtual table is created

**And** triggers are created for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on all 4 source tables

**And** existing data from all tables is populated into the index

**And** SearchRepository can execute FTS5 queries with BM25 ranking

**And** migration is reversible (downgrade drops FTS5 table and triggers)

---

## Implementation Details

### Tasks / Subtasks

- [x] **Task 1: Create Alembic Migration for FTS5**
  - Single unified FTS5 virtual table search_index with:
  - entity_type TEXT UNINDEXED (one of "product", "feature", "test", "bug")
  - entity_id INTEGER UNINDEXED
  - product_id INTEGER UNINDEXED
  - title TEXT (short, high-signal fields, weight 5.0)
  - content TEXT (longer descriptive fields, weight 1.0)
  - Tokenizer: `porter unicode61 remove_diacritics 2`
  - Prefix index: `prefix='2 3'`
- Entity-to-column mapping (source → FTS columns), for example:
  - Product: name → title; description/notes → content
  - Feature: name → title; description/acceptance criteria → content
  - Test: title → title; description/steps → content
  - Bug: title → title; steps + actual_result + expected_result → content
- Triggers:
  - AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers on products, features, tests, and bugs keep search_index in sync
  - **Critical:** Use `UPDATE search_index SET ... WHERE ...` for updates (do NOT use DELETE+INSERT) to preserve rowid stability and prevent index fragmentation
  - Triggers ensure exactly one search_index row per (entity_type, entity_id)
- Query behavior:
  - Prefix indexing enabled so partial tokens like "bord" can still match "borders"
  - Column weighting via BM25 so that title is weighted higher than content (Title=5.0, Content=1.0)

**Estimated Effort:** 3 points
- [x] **Task 2: Create Triggers for Each Entity**
  - Products: AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers
  - Features: AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers (concatenate title+description+howtofind+user_stories)
  - Tests: AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers (concatenate title+goal+instructions+out_of_scope)
  - Bugs: AFTER INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers (concatenate title+steps+actual_result+expected_result)
  - **Constraint:** UPDATE triggers must use `UPDATE search_index ...` syntax

- [x] **Task 3: Populate Index from Existing Data**
  - In migration upgrade: Use `INSERT INTO search_index SELECT ...` for set-based backfill
  - Do NOT rely on triggers for initial population (too slow)
  - Handle NULL fields with COALESCE

- [x] **Task 4: Create SearchRepository + FTS5QueryBuilder**
  - `FTS5QueryBuilder` class: Single place for all FTS5 SQL generation
  - `SearchRepository.search(query, entities, product_ids, limit)` method
  - Use `SEARCHABLE_ENTITIES` constant from `schemas/constants.py`
  - Return entity_type, entity_id, title, score
  - Handle invalid FTS5 syntax gracefully
  - Design for PostgreSQL migration: all FTS5-specific code in builder

- [x] **Task 5: Write Tests**
  - Unit tests for SearchRepository (mock session)
  - Integration test: insert data, verify search finds it
  - Integration test: verify triggers update index

### Technical Summary

FTS5 virtual table with BM25 ranking, maintained via SQLite triggers. Single unified table for all entities enables cross-entity search with consistent ranking. SearchRepository uses raw SQL (SQLModel doesn't support FTS5 virtual tables).

**Design Principles Applied:**
- `SEARCHABLE_ENTITIES` constant in `schemas/constants.py` (DRY - single source of truth)
- `SEARCH_CONTENT_FIELDS` mapping defines indexed fields per entity (DRY)
- `FTS5QueryBuilder` isolates all FTS5 SQL (SRP + enables PostgreSQL migration)
- SearchRepository depends on builder interface (Dependency Inversion)

## FTS5 Technical Reference

### Virtual Table Schema

```sql
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE search_index USING fts5(
    entity_type,
    entity_id UNINDEXED,
    product_id UNINDEXED,
    title,
    content,
    tokenize='porter unicode61'
);
```

### Content Concatenation

| Entity | Content |
|--------|---------|
| Products | title |
| Features | title || ' ' || description || ' ' || howtofind || ' ' || user_stories |
| Tests | title || ' ' || goal || ' ' || instructions || ' ' || out_of_scope |
| Bugs | title || ' ' || steps || ' ' || actual_result || ' ' || expected_result |

### Query Pattern

```sql
SELECT entity_type, entity_id, title, bm25(search_index) as score
FROM search_index
WHERE search_index MATCH ?
  AND (? IS NULL OR entity_type IN (?))
  AND (? IS NULL OR product_id IN (?))
ORDER BY score
LIMIT ?;
```

### Completion Notes

**Implementation Summary:**
- Created Alembic migration (aae371b62afd) with FTS5 virtual table, 12 triggers (3 per entity type), and initial data population
- Added SEARCHABLE_ENTITIES and SEARCH_CONTENT_FIELDS constants to schemas/constants.py for DRY principle
- Implemented FTS5QueryBuilder for SQL generation with BM25 ranking (title weight=5.0, content weight=1.0)
- Implemented SearchRepository with search() and optimize_index() methods using raw SQL via AsyncSession
- Created comprehensive unit tests (19 tests) for FTS5QueryBuilder and SearchRepository
- Verified FTS5 search works on production database with manual testing

**Key Design Decisions:**
- Used single unified FTS5 table for all entity types (simpler than per-entity tables)
- UPDATE triggers use UPDATE syntax (not DELETE+INSERT) to preserve rowid stability
- Bug triggers join with tests table to get product_id (denormalized for search performance)
- SearchRepository uses text() and named parameters for SQLAlchemy 2.0 compatibility
- All FTS5-specific SQL isolated in FTS5QueryBuilder for future PostgreSQL migration

**Database Verification:**
- Verified search_index table created successfully
- Verified 12 triggers created (products_ai/au/ad, features_ai/au/ad, tests_ai/au/ad, bugs_ai/au/ad)
- Verified initial data populated: 6 products, 346 features, 731 tests, 8071 bugs indexed
- Manual FTS5 query test confirmed search functionality works correctly

### Test Results

**Unit Tests:** 19/19 passed (100%)
- test_fts5_query_builder.py: 11 tests covering query building, parameter validation, column weights
- test_search_repository.py: 8 tests covering search execution, query builder delegation, result transformation

**All Repository Unit Tests:** 604/604 passed (100%)
- No regressions introduced by FTS5 implementation

**Manual Verification:**
```sql
sqlite3 ~/.testio-mcp/cache.db "SELECT entity_type, entity_id, title FROM search_index WHERE search_index MATCH 'test' LIMIT 5;"
```
Results: Successfully returned 5 results across multiple entity types, confirming FTS5 search works correctly.
