It is from amrit kirtan's index.
Challenges are:

• different spellings for same words make it hard to search
• you don't always remember the rahao pangti, which is what the index is based on

I'm still looking for some good database that can help in searching and indexing.

I'll try to use iGurbaniDB.

Thanks to GurbaniNow, I am able to create a decent Shabad Searcher. Will release it tonight hopefully to the master branch.

To improve performance however I guess we can cache all the Shabads (1-12,817, once his DB is finalised) to our docs/json/hymn/ folder. This will also assist Service Worker.

Once we have the hymns, then we can simply ask users/devs to create PRs to the above hymns to put meta content like

{
  "ShabadID": 1234,
  "...": { ... },
  "Kirtans": [
      "https://soundcloud.com/...",
      "https://youtube.com/....",
      "..."
   ]},
   "Kathas": [
     { "By": "Basics of Sikhi", "src": "https://youtube.com..." },
     { "By": "Bhai Sukha Singh UK", "src": "https://youtube.com..." }
   ]},
   "Misc": [
     "https://wikipedia....",
     "https://sikhwiki...",
     "https://reddit.com/r/sikh/..."
   ]},
}

I love this idea personally as it makes use of Open Source ! Maybe a UI can be created that helps user create such PR. Let's have discuss over this over #21
