Run search-index in the Browser

The latest browserified version of search-index is available in the dist directory. There is a live demo of search-index running in the browser here

There are many ways of using search-index in a browser. You could for example do something like this:

<div id="result">waiting for results...</div>

<script src="search-index.min.js"></script>
<script>

// display search results in a div
const paintResultDiv = function(result) {
  console.log(result)
  document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = result.document.body
}

// index some data
const indexData = function(err, myCoolSearchIndex) {
  mySearchIndex.concurrentAdd({}, data, function(err) {
    // now you can perform search queries
    myCoolSearchIndex.search('pickled onions').on('data', paintResultDiv)
  })
}

// initialize search-index
SearchIndex({
  indexPath: 'fergie'
}, indexData) 

</script>
