Metal song search using RedisJSON and RediSearch

Metal Song Search

How many times have you ever wondered "how does Google figure out which song I'm looking for using only a small part of the lyrics?" I honestly had never asked that to myself, except yesterday, and I decided to try to replicate something like that.

To do all this I needed:

• A big amount of music lyrics
• A storage
• A way to do something like a "full-text search"

I was about to give up on the idea when a friend asked me "why don't you just do it for metal songs?" The metalhead in me couldn't hold back and googled "best 1000 metal songs ever"

What i do

1. Download the 1000 best metal song ever list here
2. For each track download the lyrics list here - code here
3. Upload all the lyrics on Redis using RedisJSON code here
4. Create a web server with search and stats endpoints result here - code here
5. Create a frontend application to show the results result here - code here
