Add Search (Rails) #11

Open NicholasLYang opened 6 years ago

NicholasLYang commented 6 years ago

Add search functionality. Right now, just for schools, but later we'll explore adding it for reviews. I would consider using something like PgSearch (except that requires #7). Please do NOT use anything complicated. I do not want an Elasticsearch cluster. Should have a corresponding GraphQL query that takes an argument (i.e. query) and returns the relevant results.

@NicholasLYang If you want something really simple for searching, check out Typesense. People who want a good search engine (for instant search etc.) today either need to go for a cloud hosted proprietary offering or have to learn to set-up Elasticsearch and spend a lot of time tweaking it to support typo tolerance etc. Trying to change that status quo. Either way, would love to hear any feedback you might have!
