podcast search

recording.gif

Meilisearch is a search engine written in Rust, has RESTful API for interaction and it's pretty fast! The builtin React UI is used here as such without any modification.

The podcast feed is in XML and need to be converted to JSON which the Meilisearch understands. I had to modify podcastutil a little bit here for the conversion.

There are four podcast URLs added in the podcasts.opml file. The documents.json file gives an idea of how the document looks like.
