fsMgr - FileSystem Search Manager

fsMgr is prototype developed to introduce and demonstrate the concepts of:

  • 'Abstraction in Search' for mid-scaled real time website
  • SVC (Search View Controller) design based on MVC architecture

More about 'Abstraction in Search' and 'SVC Architecture' here

fsMgr is implemented with Tornado & Whoosh Python libraries on Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-38-generic

Features

Search facilities exported:

  • Highlighted

    Highlights the searched keywords

  • Did you mean

  • More like this

    Document based search

Documentation

fsMgr is implemented with fsMgr.py, searching.py and meta.py modules Refer the documentation of these classes here

Setup

Usage

Note: Indexing happens on the tree under root/ when you search for a keyword. Time taken for indexing depends on size of root/ If you want reindexing everytime you search, one needs to uncomment the indexer for preparing the index. fsMgr.py --> srch.indexer, else keep the indexer commented

start searching at super sonic speed! :)

Dependencies

  • Python 2.6
  • Tornado 2.2
  • Whoosh 2.4.1

Installing Dependencies

sudo pip install tornado==2.2 sudo pip install Whoosh==2.4.1

Opportunities

  • By adding a class in searching.py, you could leverage more search engines under fsMgr.
  • Abstraction to the new search engine can be implemented in fsMgr.py. For instance, pyLucene can be implemenetd in searching.py and exposed to fsMgr.py.

Known Issues

  • File contents cant be viewed if the file name contains white-spaces
  • Robust error handling is not taken care of as its a prototype implementation
