Indexing content / faceted search

[roscopecoltran]

Hey,

Hope you are all well !

I wanted to extend the following golang project, https://github.com/hoop33/limo, using also bleve, with blast. Actually, I forked and updated limo in order to automatically fetch and add the repo topics in order to pre-fill limo's tags index.

But I would like to create a web-ui and create some facets to explore my starred repository. So after a couple of searches, I found your project wrapping the bleve package.

Can you provide an example or more explanation about how to index content ?

• Content to index: https://github.com/hoop33/limo/blob/master/model/star.go
• Current indexer: https://github.com/hoop33/limo/blob/master/model/index.go

Questions:

• How to integrate blast into another go app ?
• How to configure blast for managing those facets ?
• How to auto-increment the next doc id to index automatically ?
• Is it possible to load some white/stop/watch words to match (eg. https://github.com/porter-io/tagg-python/blob/master/tagg/default_defs.json) while indexing a new content ?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Richard

Hi @roscopecoltran ,

• How to integrate blast into another go app ?

  • Please use gRPC client or HTTP REST API.

• How to configure blast for managing those facets ?

  • If you mean managing index mapping, please see Bleve document. http://blevesearch.com/docs/Index-Mapping/

• How to auto-increment the next doc id to index automatically ?

  • Unfortunately, Bleve doesn't support it.

• Is it possible to load some white/stop/watch words to match (eg. https://github.com/porter-io/tagg-python/blob/master/tagg/default_defs.json) while indexing a new content ?

  • You need to convert JSON formatted document for Blast. Please see examples. https://github.com/mosuka/blast/tree/master/example
