#riak-search-demo

This is a simple demo app that illustrates a sample usage of yokozuna as a search engine with Ruby Sinatra

Here is a blog post that I've written to go along with this demo application: Robust Search with Sinatra, Riak, and Yokozuna

##Prerequisites

You must have a yokozuna Riak instance running. I advise making a backup of the data directory after installation and wiping data like so between tests from the riak bin directory:

./riak stop ; rm -rf ../data ; cp -R ../data.bak ../data ; ./riak start

Update: Yokozuna is now in the main Riak repository, but I haven't tested it out from there yet: Riak Develop Branch

##Setup

Download

git clone git@github.com:drewkerrigan/riak-search-demo.git

Install dependencies

cd riak-search-demo
bundle install

Setup the index and seed the user data

##Run the server
