Norch is changing its name to Forage
“Norch” appears to be a colloquialism in some far flung corners of the Globe, and this unfortunate semantic mixup was slowing adoption of the otherwise excellent search server formally known as Norch.
Henceforth, said search server shall be known as Forage. Check it out here and update all favourites and bookmarks accordingly.
In related news, Nor.. sorry Forage is now 10% as popular as Solr on Github. Thanks to all users and contributors who are putting Forage through its paces. We love you.
Can we use this module to take data from mysql ? (if yes , some examples please , and thanks )
It’s back to Norch again. Norch is a search enigne, written in JavaScript:
The actual search index is named Search-index.
And someone has made a Loopback to Search-index connector.
Loopback can be connected to a lot of stuff, among them: MySQL.
So, yes, in a way =)

Hi TheXLearner
You can do something like this:
SELECT
CONCAT(“[",
GROUP_CONCAT(
CONCAT("{username:'",username,"'"),
CONCAT(",email:'",email),"'}")
)
,"]“)
AS json FROM users;
To get
[
{username:'mike',email:'mike@mikesplace.com'},
{username:'jane',email:'jane@bigcompany.com'},
{username:'stan',email:'stan@stanford.com'}
]
An then index in the standard way. Maybe this warrants its own blog post.
