nanosearch

A tiny search engine.

Suitable for in-browser use, this provides n-gram based search results.

Quickstart

import { SearchEngine } from '@toastdriven/nanosearch';

// Create a search engine.
const engine = new SearchEngine();

// Index some documents.
// First parameter is the unique document ID, second is the document text.
engine.add("abc", "The dog is a 'hot dog'.");
engine.add("def", "Dogs > Cats");
engine.add("ghi", "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog");
engine.add("jkl", "Am I lazy, or just work smart?");

// Then, you can let the user search on the engine...
engine.search("my dog");
// ...including limiting results (to just one)...
engine.search("lazy", 1);
// ...or a second page of ten results!
engine.search("dogs", 10, 2);
