What is Lighthouse?

Lighthouse is a lightning-fast advanced search engine API for publications on the lbrycrd with autocomplete capabilities.

What does Lighthouse consist of?

1. Elasticsearch as a backend db server.
2. LBRYimport, a importer that imports the claims into the Elasticsearch database.
3. Lighthouse API server, which serves the API and does all calculations about what to send to the end user.
