Searching notebooks names in Jupyter hub

[vigneshwer dhinakaran]

Hi,

Is it possible to search for notebooks in Jupyter hub.

I know its is not there by default has any one tried to implement it? 

Here is a piece of python code which I used to search by generating a json of ipynb notebook and link it to my proxy link,

'''

Task : To search for a particular notebook link in jupyter notebook

Author : Vigneshwer

Date : 14th July 2016

Version : 1.0

'''

#loading modules 

import os 

import fnmatch

import json

#search location and extension

dir_location = "./"

search_ext = "ipynb"

#proxy link

proxy_link = "http://example.com/hub/"

#list of ipython note book names

list_ipynb_name = {}

#searching for all files named .ipynb and saving in a json format

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(dir_location):

for file_name in files:

if fnmatch.fnmatch(file_name,"*."+search_ext):

list_ipynb_name[file_name.split(".")[0]] = proxy_link + str(root[len(dir_location):]) + "/" + str(file_name)

#saving to a json file

with open("ipynb_list.json", "w") as file_object:

file_object.write(json.dumps(list_ipynb_name,file_object,indent=4))

#loading from the json file

with open('ipynb_list.json') as data_file:    

    data = json.load(data_file)

#searching for a key in json file

search_query = raw_input("Enter the key to search for :-")

flag=False

for key in data.keys():

if search_query == key:

print "Ipython notebook link :- " + data[key]

flag=True

break

if not flag: 

print "Ipython Notebook not found"

Other ideas would be appreciated, would like to also integrate the logic to jupyter hub with a UI for people to use, perhaps using elasticsearch or solr.

Thanks,

It would be great if we have such feature. I have seen nbviewer for official site. Is someone having idea on how we can integrate the search, perhaps we can use elastic search . It would be nice if someone can share any use case or any other idea ?
