Plain text search to ... modules?

[Jeremy Darling]

This seems like a common enough scenario that their is probably already a module for it, so I'm asking before I start writing one :).

Given a generic free form text search input on a webpage I would like to have it converted over to a query to be executed against my data.  My target is MongoDB like query instructions, but doesn't have to be MongoDB as could easily transform it again.

Something like:

foo and bar

might result in something like:

{

  $or: [

    {name: /foo and bar/i},

    {description: /foo and bar/i},

    {$and: [

      {name: /foo/i},

      {name: /bar/i},

    ]},

    {$and: [

      {description: /foo/i},

      {description: /bar/i},

    ]},

    ...etc...

  ]

}

Has anyone already done something similar that is out there and easy to include, or is this something that still needs to be created?

Thanks,

 - Jeremy

i have used https://github.com/tj/node-monquery but beware, the maintainer isn't doing node anymore.

Thanks, if nothing else that's a great starting point :)
