Thanks for that. I also started dabbling with a simple lunr.js solution - initial notes here: https://blog.ouseful.info/2018/05/10/initial-sketch-searching-jupyter-notebooks-using-lunr/
Comments welcome... I need to walk the dog and ponder the actual usefulness - or otherwise - of this now. Minimal working demo throws up all sorts of issues. COunterpoint of the grep solution is also really useful. A third point of comparison would be a sqlite/datasette or sqlite/scriptedForm search tool. --tony On Wednesday, 9 May 2018 16:42:32 UTC+1, Grant Nestor wrote: > > A simple solution is to open a terminal in JupyterLab/Jupyter Notebook and > run the following: > > grep --include='*.ipynb' --exclude-dir='.ipynb_checkpoints' -rliw . -e > 'search > query' > > This will search your Jupyter server root recursively for files that > contain the whole word (case-insensitive) "search query" and only return > the file names of matches. > > More info: > https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16956810/how-do-i-find-all-files-containing-specific-text-on-linux > > On Tuesday, May 8, 2018 at 6:07:02 AM UTC-7, Tony Hirst wrote: >> >> Hi >> >> I'm working in an edu context, with notebooks being used to deliver >> interactive >> teaching materials, and one of the things we know students do is search >> over reference/resource materials. >> >> I was wondering if anyone has looked at simple search solutions for >> searching >> over jupyter notebooks, eg by dropping them into a lunr.js index using >> lunr.py, or adding them to sqlite (in which case, what sort of schema >> did you use?). >> >> In first instance, I was thinking of just indexing the markdown cells in >> each notebook, with a reference back to the original filepath.
