Is there an easy way to make a bunch of text files searchable through a web interface? !linux
-
@evilestmark Easy as in already exists. I could hack something up, but it'd take time and wouldn't look nice.
-
@rxp: Do you wanna search files using a web app?
-
@waltercool Yeah. I have a bunch of text files on a web server, and I want a search page, basically.
-
@rxp: All depends of your programming skills and language or google skills :P Maybe something on CGI python script is easy
-
@rxp any django, sinatra or nodejs app would handle that pretty easily.
-
@rxp: I've been looking at this yesterday for work. http://tinyurl.com/c4wuvh seems to be the best choice but really depends on your needs.
-
@rxp: Also have a look at recoll/tracker/beagle as they have command line interfaces you can use as an interface.
-
@rxp: But Omega has a PHP interface and can output results in various formats incl. HTML.
-
@rxp: If you need more there is Apache Lucene and Zend do a library for that too for PHP.
-
@rxp I do it with http://is.gd/dvsJb (searches a bunch of TXT files -- only TXT files. It's a simple PHP script. I can give you the code.)
-
@rxp a simple full text search such as hyperestraier and simple php wrapper. Can be done in five minutes, but reading docs can take a while
-
@rxp actually hyperestraier has cgi web interface by default
