AroundMe | Spatial search using Elastic Search | Search Engine library

This project is build using grunt, to get started read [here](http://gruntjs.com/installing-grunt). Once ```grunt``` is installed ```cd``` to AroundMe and run ```grunt```, however for convinince ```index.js``` in build folder is also checked in. You will need to install [ElasticSearch](http://www.elasticsearch.org/), read about installing it [here](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_installing_elasticsearch.html), also install [marvel](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/marvel/current/) plugin for configuration and testing. The data used here is from [Geofabrik](http://download.geofabrik.de/). I have used points.shp file from the [Great-Britain](http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/great-britain.html) shape file download, but you can use any other country as well. To extract the data,I wrote a quick python script using [pyshp](https://code.google.com/p/pyshp/). you can easily install it by typing ```sudo easy_install pyshp```. Before running the script you will have to create an Index and add schema to it. Assuming that elastic search is running, you can issue a command from marvel. Modify the path in script below to the source file, "points" in this case and run the script. The script inserts all records which have a valid ```name``` and type ```column``` into index.
