gosearchify-demo

A demo webapp in Go that uses Searchify's Go IndexTank client to search through the Enron email archive.

To get started with Go on Heroku, read Mark McGranaghan's Getting Started with Go on Heroku.

Then, clone the gosearchify-demo from github:

    $ git clone git://github.com/searchify/gosearchify-demo.git
    $ cd gosearchify-demo

Create an app on Heroku:

    $ heroku create -b https://github.com/kr/heroku-buildpack-go.git
    Creating murmuring-woodland-6954... done, stack is cedar
    BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/kr/heroku-buildpack-go.git
    http://murmuring-woodland-6954.herokuapp.com/ | [e-mail]:murmuring-woodland-6954.git
    Git remote heroku added

Note: you'll need to add the Searchify add-on, which will incur charges (the small plan is less than $1/day), or sign up for a free trial account at http://www.searchify.com. To add the Heroku add-on:

    $ heroku addons:add searchify:small
    Adding searchify:small on murmuring-woodland-6954... done, v5 ($25/mo)
    Use `heroku addons:docs searchify:small` to view documentation.

    $ git push heroku master

           http://murmuring-woodland-6954.herokuapp.com deployed to Heroku

    To [e-mail]:murmuring-woodland-6954.git
     * [new branch]      master -> master

Try it out:

    $ heroku open

If it isn't working, check the logs:

    $ heroku logs

If you get an "Index does not exist" error, the most likely cause is that you haven't created a Searchify index called "enron".
