* New SearchProvider properties "Default" and "Tags"

SearchProviders can now be organized using Tags that can store arbitrary labels for one or more providers. Tags can be specified in search objects using the searchprovider_list, and freely combined with provider names or IDs. These properties make it easy to set up general use providers as 'default' and then tag those intended for specific topics. For example:

SearchProvider:

{
        "active": true,
        "default": false,
        "name": "Maritime News (web/Google PSE)",
        "connector": "RequestsGet",
        ...etc...
        "tags": [
            "maritime"
        ]
    }

Search:

{
    "query_string": "strategic consulting",
    "searchprovider_list": [ 6, 12, "maritime" ]
}

ABOUT SWIRL
SWIRL is the first open source, federated search engine. It makes it easy for search developers, analysts and data scientists to query multiple search engines in parallel. SWIRL re-ranks the unified results using built-in cosine-vector similarity without copying or indexing anything. It includes connectors to the most popular open-source search engines that are configured (not coded) in minutes; processors to normalize and store responses, and result "mixers" that organize results for use by most any UI, system or framework. Results can even be automatically deleted as they age using the built-in expiration service.

SWIRL SEARCH is available under the Apache 2.0 license.

If you need enterprise design, support and/or components, or would like to support SWIRL SEARCH in any way please email sw...@probstein.com or contact me using the coordinates below. Many thanks!
