Looks interesting ...

Hi,

I am working on an alpha version of a website and we want to add a simple site search. A little googling led me to forage and it looks like it might work very well for us!

What I would like to do is to index our content (this is currently stored as a structured directory of markdown files). How might I go about indexing this into forage? Is it as simple as using the forage-document-processor command with a cusatom adaptor to do the conversion and then running the forage-indexer on the resulting files?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

David

Hi David

Basically- get your stuff into the forage JSON format, and then POST it to forage.

It may be easier to use the forage-* tools, or you might find it easier to roll your own JSON parser and POST/cURL it all into Forage.

The failsafe route would be markdown->html->forage-document-processor->forage-indexer->forage.

(Is the site live yet? URL?)
