The Narada Open Source Search Engine Application is a new project that utilizes the newest technology such as Sphinx Search, Gearman, memcached, MySQL (and soon Drizzle!) as well as using mod_perl 2.0 and Apache 2.2

This project was inspired by my book "Developing Web Applications with Apache, memcached, MySQL and Perl" (978-0-470-41464-4) in particular Chapter 17. It was a sample application shown how you can use the various technologies discussed throughout the book, as well as Gearman, to put together a great data retrieval, indexing and search application. It was a good proof of concept, and I've decided to turn it into an actual project. Let's see where this goes!
