Ideas for full text search MongoDB & node.js

I am developing a search engine for my website and i want to add following features to it;

  1. Full text search
  2. Did you mean feature
  3. Data store in MongoDB

I want to make a restful backend. I will be add data to mongodb manually and it will be indexed (which one i can prefer? Mongodb indexing or some other search indexing libraries like Lucene). I also want to use node.js. These are what i found from my researches. Any idea would be appreciated for the architecture

Thanks in advance

I'm using Node.js / MongoDB / Elasticsearch (based on Lucene). It's an excellent combination. The flow is stunning as well, since all 3 packages (can) deal with JSON as their native format, so no need for transforming DTO's etc.

Have a look: http://www.elasticsearch.org/

I personally use Sphinx and MongoDb, it is a great pair and I have no problems with it.

I back MongoDB onto a MySQL instance which Sphinx just quickly indexes. Since you should never need to actively index _id, since I have no idea who is gonna know the _id of one of your objects to search for, you can just stash it in MySQL as a string field and it will work just fine.

When I pull the results back out of Sphinx all I do is convert to (in PHP) a new MongoId, or in your case a ObjectId and then simply query on this object id for the rest of the data. It couldn't be simpler, no problems, no hassle, no nothing. And I can spin off the load of reindexing delta indexes off to my MySQL instance keeping my MongoDB instance dealing with what it needs to: serving up tasty data for the user.
