A Java-based HTTP server GET interface for MongoDB Search, supporting filtering, sorting, highlighting, pagination, and debugging.

This Search Server code was initially written to support the article "How to Build a Search Service in Java with MongoDB".

The jettyRun target is used and searches the movies_index. The search server code lives under server/

To run the search server locally, follow these steps:

• Add the sample collections to your Atlas cluster
  • If you're not already an Atlas user, get started with Atlas
• Create an MongoDB Search index on the movies collection, named movies_index, using the index configuration below.
• Run the search service: MONGODB_URI="<<insert your connection string here>>" ./gradlew jettyRun
• Visit http://localhost:8888
