gitsearch | git repository indexer and client | Search Engine library

I've read all the posts, and the solution to: “Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'input'” seems to be to add FormsModule to imports and the imports array in app.module.ts (I only have one module in the application . . . app.module.ts).
