This module looks interesting! I have a couple of questions…

How would it be used?

Return results on a search query using nodejs avoiding.

What will it avoid? :)

Hi,

Oops sorry, was so tired, i forgot to finished my sentence.
I want to avoid the php treatment of the xml results, and make it faster by using nodejs instead with json.
I would also like to make a feature like the actual google search in ajax when typing.
Also add a multicore feature by cloning the channel feature of the actual nodejs module.
Main goal is to index nodes first without the cron. (problem maybe with indexing attachments for now).
Also a feature with realtime notification when a user is searching for string. eg. (User blah is currently searching for ...). Very easy to implement.
More ideas to come as when the nodejs module i'm using for that will have more features.
I reckon that the nodejs mysql module will be a dependency for now, as i'm planning to query the database to see which nodes need to be indexed, so i will not have not the benefit of the drupal database abstraction layer because of nodejs.

Hi Julien,

What's the status of this module. Did you ever make it any further with this? Also, how much work do you think it would take to port what you have over to D7?

Hi,

the status is more than alpha, left it beside due to other activites. Right now only the real time indexation works and a very basic search page (no custom search results template management). I'm gonna work on this in the next few days and send you a D7 demo link with documentation in a couple of days or earlier.

Thanks for the update Julien. I look forward to testing it. This module's concept seems promising.

Hi,

I did recode it today to be a sub module of the nodejs integration module. I still have a bug to fix regarding identifying the right user (anonymous or not) and fix the socket issue.
I did add a demo here: http://test.liberal.co.nz, so you will see what i'm talking of.
