lunr.js Add data about an index record

In lunr.js, you can add a unique reference using the .ref() method but I can't find any method to add extra data/info about that particular record. Is it not possible or am I missing something really obvious.

I even tried assigning an object to ref but it saves it as a string.

EDIT For now I am saving all the contents as a JSON string in .ref(), which works but is really ugly to use.

Jekyll search with Lunr JS, not working

I'm trying to implement search on my Jekyll site using Lunar JS with this plugin. https://github.com/slashdotdash/jekyll-lunr-js-search

I'm following the instructions in the readme but to a beginner they are not so clear.

I've followed everything up to step 5, ie added all the scripts to my template, and created a search box and container for my search results on the page I want to have search functionality.

However, step 6 says: "Create a Mustache template to display the search results." Where do I need to put this code? In a separate file? Or on the same page as I have my search box?

And step 7 requires me to add:

`indexUrl: '/search.json',  // URL of the `search.json` index data for your site`

Can somebody explain what this means? I know lunrjs is supposed to create a json file with all my blog data, but I can't find this json file anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?

Filtering ng-repeat with lunr.js

Although the default filter provides adequate results, I'm attempting to filter the contents of an ng-repeat using the results of a lunr.js search.

.filter('lunrFilter', function() {
  return function(items, query) {
    var filteredSearchResults = [];

    $scope.searchIndex(query).forEach(function(item) {
      filteredSearchResults.push(item);
    });

    return filteredSearchResults;
  }
})

$scope.searchIndex = function(q) {
  $scope.searchResults = $scope.indexedText.search(q)
    .map(function (result) {
      return $scope.items.filter(function (q) {
        return q.id === parseInt(result.ref, 10) // Adds id field to object 
      })[0];
    });

  console.log($scope.searchResults);
  return $scope.searchResults;
};

My searchIndex() function works adequately, but I'm stumped when it comes to adding the results of that array into filteredSearchResults, or using .filter() on it.

I can't get my head to figure it out - particularly as calling $scope.searchIndex within my filter returns $scope is not defined.

Jekyll: Process plugin/tags inside generator plugin

I am currently using a modified version of the jekyll-lunr-js-search Plugin.

What I'd like to do is include processes excerpts in my search results but using something like :

    site = context.registers[:site]
    converter = site.getConverterImpl(::Jekyll::Converters::Markdown)
    output = converter.convert(super(context))

results in content that has still has jekyll tags in it (i.e. {% include JB/setup %} or {% highlight yaml % block)

Is there a way to call the site render process on a string?

lunr: Return the stem of the searched terms so I can highlight it within results

I'm using lunr to perform a search and I currently am highlighting the search from the value of the search text area, but lunr uses a stemmer and returns results that don't specifically match the full search term. is there a way to access the stem of the search term that lunr ends up searching on?

// query our lunr index
searchResults = _.map(index.search($('#searchInput').val()), function (res) {
    var uid = res.ref;
    return mediaList[uid];
});

Backgrid.filter precedence of filtering based on field name

I am new to backgrid.js and I am using filter as an extension function for my web app. I am quite confused about LunrFilter. As the code defines in this page, it has the parameter { field : 10 }. May I know what and how does field name and boost value affect the filtration of collection?

Also, is it possible for Backgrid.filter to filter collections by precedence?

For example, I have the following data:

Record #1 - fname : Adam; lname : Smith
Record #2 - fname : Luke; lname : Adam
Record #3 - fname : John; lname : Adam

I would like to take precedence of lname over fname on filtering. If I key in "Adam" on search bar - table must display Records #2 and #3 first, and #1 last.
