This is the code that powers npmsearch.com, which provides a clean interface to searching pseudo-rated node packages from npm.
To query the npmsearch index, you can use the HTTP api which is effectively a proxy to elasticsearch's URI Search.
All requests go through http://npmsearch.com/query. Here's an example:
curl "http://npmsearch.com/query?q=dom&fields=name"
{"results":[{"name":["select-dom"]},{"name":["dom-manipulations"]},{"name":["zero-dom"]},{"name":["dom-stub"]},{"name":["dom-walk"]},{"name":["dom-value"]},{"name":["karma-chai-dom"]},{"name":["dom-select"]},{"name":["dom-listeners"]},{"name":["has-dom"]}],"total":7265,"from":0}
