New Jersey Open Data Dataset Search by Keyword

njopendata/dataset-search

Keyword search of the New Jersey Open Data Center catalog (data.nj.gov). Each hit is a dataset's descriptive record: title, description, publishing agency, category, tags, column names, created and updated times, page views and a link to its page; the hit's id feeds njopendata/dataset-metadata. Metadata only; no dataset rows are returned. Give a search phrase (2 to 100 characters) and how many hits to return (1 to 10); page with an offset. A phrase that matches nothing returns an empty results list. Data passed through unmodified and served by Eden Engine; not an official State of New Jersey product.
