Searchme is a useless webapp. It's more like an example of using basics of xapian engine for searching and cherrypy as web framework.

Searchme allows you to:

• upload your file on the server
• search among all uploaded files
• download a file matching your query

• Install Xapain:

$ sudo apt-get install python-xapian

$ sudo apt-get install libxapian-dev

• Install CherryPy with pip:

$ sudo pip install cherrypy

• Install Tornado with pip:

$ sudo pip install tornado

• Start the server:

$ python server.py

• Go to http://localhost:8080 and try doing something

For every uploaded file an md5 hash of file contents is calculated and the file gets name of that md5 hash and goes to /root/lib/hash[:2]/hash[2:4]/hash.txt

Example: md5 is 22db87278adec2c2b961e75e0faae593, file goes to /root/lib/22/db/22db87278adec2c2b961e75e0faae593.txt
