Program description:

A basic search application that queries a Yelp review dataset and a Hurricane Sandy tweets dataset.

Program functionality:

• Connects to database and both collections and shows connection process at startup.
• Presents user with web-based display that asks the user for a query string, supporting partial words.
• Response to user's request presents the user with a selection list of reviews answering the request, but not the content of the review.
• Once presented with the selection list, the user can select the desired document to view the content.
• User can search again and again until exiting page.
• User has the ability to add comments to the selected document.

How to use:

Set up database

Extract mongo_proj.tar.gz, cd to its root folder, then set up the database and the reviews collection:

mongoimport -u admin -p student --authenticationDatabase admin --db users --collection reviewYelp2  --file review15.json

If you are using a computer other than the lab computer, you'll need to set url in index.js to mongodb://localhost:27017/users and set up the database and both collections this way:

mongoimport --db users --collection reviewYelp2 --file review15.json

mongoimport --headerline --db users --collection tweets_sandy --type csv --file tweets_sandy.csv

Run search application

Install the dependencies (mongodb, express, express-handlebars, hbs), then run the application:

npm init 

npm install mongodb --save

npm install express

npm install express-handlebars

npm install hbs 

node index.js
