Summary

This is a Javascript-based demo of the Redis Search + Suggest functionality. Address data is obtained from a Canadian government website. Two data sets (Prince Edward Island and Northwest Territories) are inserted into Redis as JSON documents. They are indexed by address and two suggestion dictionaries are built: one with full address info (to include street number), the other with just street names.
