Written with Jave using GWT framework and compiled to javascript. The idea is for too much content in one page (like twitter, facebook, or nyt today's paper etc.), people may want to search in page, and find out the tweet/post/headline read just a minute ago.

Another use case could be, all the content you have are just several hundreds of small content, instead of having user bash your server, you could just push all your content to user and have user search against the content at his/her side.

The code here also depends on GwtQuery or GQuery to easily retrieve content/elements in page.

Demos:

• a simple one: Try CSS selectors to index
• one with more content: NYT Today's Paper
• wrapped as a jquery plugin: check the source code

TODO:

1. try to study the difference of "Element" between GWT and jQuery
2. do the index on the server side and push the index out as js file, enhance index capability
3. index provided json file
4. Add Highlight
5. Add other boolean search abilities, NOT, OR (the current default is AND)
6. Push the index as a javascript file to user, no need for user to build the index on the client side, so it could query more documents
7. Add score/weighting ability (not that necessary, considering not much content returned
8. Add phrase Search (not necessary, if a phrase, no need to use this)
