multi-search-rails

The project is about a small REST-API, which can be used to search with multiple search engines at the same time. At the moment the route /api/search/?query=Test can be used to search for a query and the ranking from the different search engines can be compared:

    {
        "total": 10,
        "data": [
            [
                {
                    "link": "https://www.test.de/",
                    "displayLink": "www.test.de",
                    "title": "Stiftung Warentest",
                    "searchEngineName": "Google"
                },
                {
                    "link": "https://www.test.de/",
                    "displayLink": "https://www.test.de",
                    "title": "Stiftung Warentest - Aktuell auf test.de",
                    "searchEngineName": "Bing"
                }
            ],
            ...
        ]
    }

   If not, install the right ruby version using rbenv (it could take a while):

   rbenv install 2.6.6

2. Install your dependencies

   cd path/to/multi-search
   bundle install
   

3. Copy the config/search_engines.yml.dist to config/search_engines.yml and add the needed config options for the search engines.

4. Start your app

   rails s
   

   or
