C++ WebAssembly Static Search

Status: Working POC

Heavily inspired by https://github.com/tinysearch/tinysearch.

Requirements

• emsdk
• cereal
• nlohmann json
• boost

Tested on gcc-9 + linux.

Current usage

Currently this runs in two stages.

First compile and execute the main program, passing in a json file and an output directory.

 ./main --input ../fixtures/index.json --output /home/g/tmp/static_test/

Then navigate to the output directory you specifed a use cmake to compile the program there.

Finally, test your search in <your-output-dir>/dist.

TODO

• Consider a more efficient data structure than unordred_set.

• stop words, better clean up of post text

• Come up with a scoring/ranking mechanism for results

• Can this work end to end?

• Can you make the file sizes smaller here?
