Added Native Steem Search #1599

I appreciate the work you've done here, but we have some blockchain indexing services that I think will be a much better fit for something like this. We also have a general prohibition on loading 3p resources (despite the cdnjs cloudflare link in this file - it should not have been there in the first place) so calls out to an external API are not something for which we are going to poke a hole in our CSP. I'm thinking that |

Hi @sneak thank you for your consideration, I'm not sure what you mean by "hack python" but I am very well versed in the Python programming language. What did you have in mind specifically for the server-side component? |

I'm thinking a jsonrpc call in You could do a simple mysql full text search over all of the post/edit rows, and fetch permalinks, then fetch complete edit history for each permalink that hits and apply it locally, and then filter the list of permalink/content pairs with the search terms. |

This is the point of |

(the algorithm i described above would not be perfect, but would be an excellent first pass at getting search running without involving 3p services.) |

@john-g-g and @roadscape might have better ideas about how to do the requisite post-history-stacking required for an accurate fulltext search call. |
Added the ability to query the steem blockchain directly through the free AskSteem API. Allows for making more advanced queries like by author, tag, and others listed here that are currently not supported by the existing Google CSE integration.
