How do I purge my search results?

What is the best front end technology for a search results page?

• What are the latest front end technologies being used to develop search results web page? Is it Angular.js, Node.js, Ruby, jsp or something else? The search results page content is similar to Google or Yahoo search results page. Search Results page is kind of client server model where each action on the search results interacts with search engine through REST API and refines results. Also, can the same UI technology or with minimal change will work for mobile?

• Answer:

  1. Search is not a front-end function. 2. AngularJS is not in the same category as node.js/ruby/jsp. You can put angular on anything. Traditionally a user will type in a search field, submit via the search button. Once that search button is clicked the rest is up to the back-end (node.js(express?) /ruby(rails?)/jsp sever) via a query based on the search term to a resource which is traditionally a database of some sort (mongodb / sql ), then sends the results to the front end. Which is better? I have no idea, so many variables (how big are the records? how many returned? Loading Images with results? ). I have fallen head over heels with the MEAN stack (Node.js / Express /  Angular /  MongoDB). I will say I'm not a jsp developer though and have not slept with ruby enough times to know her efficiency. Node.js is just so easy and fun. Thats my pick.
