This page references "BlueBerry", an IBM-internal project I created in 2007. Designed to provide a search interface across multiple databases using commodity hardware, BlueBerry made unique use of over 100 surplus IBM ThinkPads. Consult the links below for more information.

About BlueBerry

   


This page contains a technical description of the SOAP and AJAX API's that expose BlueBerry's search capabilities. For real-world examples of what these can be used for, please consult the Examples page.

For SOAP access, please use the following: BlueBerrySearch.wsdl.

AJAX integration can be demonstrated on the w3 Home Example [IBM Internal use only] and RESERV Example [IBM Internal user only] pages. You'll need a snippet like the following to enable BlueBerry searches on your page:

<head>
<script src="http://blueberry.raleigh.ibm.com/blueberryAjax.js" type="text/javascript"<>/script>
</head>
...
<form method="post">
<DIV id="searchDiv" onkeypress="return onEnter(event,this.form);">
<input type="text" name="q" size="20" maxlength="2048" >
<input type="button" onclick="doBlueBerrySearch( ['q'], ['SearchResult'] );" value="Search">
<BR>powered by <A href="">BlueBerry</a>
</DIV>
<BR>
<div id='SearchResult'> </div>
<BR>
</form>
