Turning MongoDB Into a Search Engine
I know you all think I am only going to post about Ruby and MongoDB so I have decided to shock you with a Pythong post. Yes, that typo was intentional. I always refer to Pythong as Pythong.
Anyway, recently, Harry Marr wrote up some thoughts on how to use MongoDB as a full text search engine.
The post was a fun read and the code is also up on Github. Enjoy all you pythongistas out there!

I did this for work a few months ago. It’s basically a spider with a limited full-text search. It was shockingly easy (and fun fun fun). I’ll see if I can release the code. It looks like he went way farther on the search side than I did (I cared more about the indexing side). Oh, and I used MongoMapper too, of course.
