Node search engine

search.js

var http = require('http');

module.exports = function(){
    var server;
    var port = 3050;

    startServer = function(){

        server = http.createServer(handleRequest);
        server.listen(port);
    };

    checkForBlankRequest = function(req, res){
        if(req.url.substr(0, 8) != "/search/" || req.url.substr(8) == "")
        res.end('No search term specified');
    };

    handleRequest = function(req, res){
        checkForBlankRequest(req, res);
        var term = req.url.substr(8); // Assuming the uri is /search/{query}
        // Do your mysql stuff here,
        // when finished run this to return results.
        results = {};
        res.end(results);
    };

    startServer();

};

Just add this file in the root of cops, and then in the cops-socket.js file, put this somewhere near the top:

var search = require('./search.js')();
