This is a lightweight web-based full-text search engine that works directly on a flat text file. The search results are displayed dynamically as you enter your query. It is based on nodejs-18 + express-4. It is suprisingly fast even on large text files!
For an easier setup & containerized deployments, it's also available in Podman/Docker packaging.
# Edit/replace the `data.txt` file with your own, before packaging it into a container!
