Search engine for the Interplanetary Filesystem. Sniffs the DHT gossip and indexes file and directory hashes.

Metadata and contents are extracted using ipfs-tika, searching is done using ElasticSearch 5, queueing is done using RabbitMQ. The crawler is implemented in Go, the API and frontend are built using Node.js.

So terribly sorry, but hosting a search engine like this takes a considerable amount of resources (money and TLC).

As this moment, the founders of ipfs-search, moved on to bigger and better things and had to cut hosting.

If you are able to help out with either of them, mail us at [email protected] or find us at #ipfssearch on Freenode (or #ipfs-search:chat.weho.st on Matrix).

For discussing and suggesting features, look at the project planning.

Local installation is done using vagrant:

git clone https://github.com/ipfs-search/ipfs-search.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs-search/ipfs-search
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs-search/ipfs-search
go get
vagrant up

This starts up the API on port 9615, Elasticsearch on 9200 and RabbitMQ on 15672.

Vagrant setup does not currently start up the frontend.
