Confusion in the doc (instantiate/modify/index lunr)

[natcohen]

I'm a little bit confused with lunr implementation in this plugin.

Let me explain...

In the past, I've tried to add multi language support without success ( I'm not using requireJS - using Angular 2 though - and would like to avoid if possible) and I don't really understand how to use pipelines (would like to remove accents when indexing). The problem is that I don't know how to follow lunr tutorials because there is this plugin implementation and it's confusing...

It would be awesome if someone could give me an example of implementation of a pipeline to modify the index (like removing accents) and adding mult-language support (without using requireJS).

We could even add these examples to the documentation....

For the multi-language, I've tried the following:

var idx = lunr(function () {
    // use the language (fr)
    this.use(lunr.fr);
});

lunr.multiLanguage('en', 'fr');
lunr.Index.load(idx);

But I get the following error:

Cannot load un-registered function: function (e){var n=e.label&&e.label in t.tokenizer.registeredFunctions;return n||t.utils.warn("Function is not a registered tokenizer. This may cause problems when serialising the index"),this.tokenizerFn=e,this}

For the pipelines, I don't even know how to start...

@nolanlawson A tip (for pipelines and multi-language) would be highly appreciated :)

The multi-language support was not added by me. There are unit tests that confirm it works, though. I recommend checking out the code and looking at the unit tests to verify that it works. Unfortunately I have very limited time these days and I've had to de-prioritize certain projects, sorry about that.

@nolanlawson Knowing how much you contribute to pouchdb and the other communities, I can easily understand that you have limited time... Hopefully someone else might be able to help me use the pipeline (which is the feature I need the most). Anyway, thank you very much for the hard work!

Hi @natcohen, you can do with a lunr global instance, I think the code you are searching for is this
