var searchIndex = require('search-index')

searchIndex(options, function(err, si) {
  si.add(data, opt, function (err) {
    //add stuff to index
  });

  si.search(q, function (err, searchResults) {
    //search in index
  });
});

search-index is a freetext search library for JavaScript. You can use it to drop kick-ass search functionality into your node.js, HTML, OSX and Android applications.

You can also generate search indexes and easily share them- you could for example make an index available on bittorrent, or you could push an index out to a browser. It is really easy to move indexes around, and create decentralised search engines.

search-index uses LevelDB as a backend via the LevelUp interface. These days, LevelDB-ish databases are installed pretty much everywhere, so search-index is really portable.
