Wow, I never thought there is something like Lunr.js! In my free time, I have been working on https://ipfsearch.xyz https://ipfsearch.xyz, thinking about pivoting into a direction of search in JS, but never getting the time to do it.
Now I'm pretty sad that something like ipfsearch (most of my work was rebuilding Lunr.js) already exists.
I guess I should do more research before embarking on a side project :( Anyway, I definitely learned a lot about how search engines work...
P.S.: now, I'm noticing that Lunr can't fetch the index over the network. OK, so not all time has been lost!
- nathcd 8y agoYeah, and I think it actually uses a pretty old (0.x) version of lunr. You could definitely grab data over the network and then feed it into lunr's indexer, you'd just have to do it manually. I'd prefer to do it more like Cloudflare's stackexchange search (build the index locally, and publish the index to IPFS), rather than having the client have to fetch the data and build the index itself. Your tool looks cool! If I find the time, maybe I'll try to dig in a bit and see if I can help with anything!
- cbluth 8y agoI'm selling ipfs.works domain, if you're interested
- namanyayg 8y agoWould they really be interested if they just found out that most of their work was rebuilding an already existing tool..?
- cbluth 8y agoAre you interested?
- Operyl 8y agoStarting bid, 99 cents! In reality, why are you soliciting the sale of your domain name that doesn't seem entirely relevant to the project this person was doing?
- cbluth 8y agoSold for 99¢. Its about to expire, and I would rather someone else have it, perhaps someone with a little more ambition than I.
