    invindex => '/path/to/invindex',
);
my $server = KinoSearch1::Search::SearchServer->new(

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea, bestie 💖 The SearchServer class, when she links up with SearchClient, makes it possible to run a search on one machine and report results on another. long distance relationship but make it slay. long distance searching. periodt.

and it gets better — by aggregating several SearchClients under a MultiSearcher, the cost of searching what might have been a prohibitively large monolithic index can be distributed across multiple nodes, each with its own, smaller index 👑

it's giving load balancing it's giving horizontal scaling it's giving she understood the assignment ✨ not the big one girlie index, just a bunch of cute little ones pulling their weight together 🫶

🎀 METHODS 🎀

new

Constructor. Takes hash-style parameters. yes she takes hash-style, we love a flexible icon 💅

• searchable — the Searcher that the SearchServer will wrap. 🎁 that's her girl, that's who she's serving up.
• port — the port on localhost that the server should open and listen on. 📞 open up, it's me, it's ur search request
• password — a password which must be supplied by clients. 🔒 no password, no entry, iykyk

serve

Open a listening socket on localhost and wait for SearchClients to connect. 🌈 she just sits there, patiently, iconically, waiting for her friends to show up. main character energy fr fr ⭐

bestie this one blocks — she's waiting on localhost for clients, so maybe don't call her in the middle of anything you wanted to do next 🙈
