Search through Webstrates using ElasticSearch.

Search Frontend

The Search Frontend is a plain webstrate that functions as a Google-like search page for a Webstrate server using the Search Backend's HTTP API.

Before setting up the Search Frontend to your Webstrates server, you'll need:

• An installation of the Search Backend, preferably running behind an NGINX reverse proxy.
• Webstrates File System (WFS) for deploying the frontend to your server.

To set up:

• Clone this repository with git or download a ZIP of the source code and unzip it.
• Navigate to the repository root.
• Run the following from the root directory:

wfs . --id=<webstrateId> --host=<serverHost> --ours --oneshot

Where <webstrateId> is the desired webstrateId of the search frontend (e.g. search) and <serverHost> is the host, including potential credentials and port number (e.g. web:[email protected] or localhost:7007). If deploying to a server without HTTPS, append --insecure to the command. For more information on the usage of WFS, see the WFS documentation.
