elasticlunr.js not showing results for search query

Question

I used elasticlunr.js search engine.

I edited their example source code

$('input').bind("enterKey", function (e) {

    var value_test = $("#inputSuccess1").val();

    if ($(this).val() < 2) return
    var config = $('#configuration').val();
    config.trim();
    var json_config = null;
    if (config != '') {
        json_config = new elasticlunr.Configuration(config, idx.getFields()).get();
    }

    var query = value_test;
    var results = null;

    console.log(query);

    if (json_config == null) {
        results = idx.search(query).map(function (result) {
            console.log(result);
            return questions.filter(function (q) {
                console.log(q);
                return q.page_id === parseInt(result.ref, 10)
            })[0]
        })
    } else {
        results = idx.search(query, json_config).map(function (result) {
            return questions.filter(function (q) {
                return q.page_id === parseInt(result.ref, 10)
            })[0]
        })
    }
    renderQuestionList(results);
    console.log(results);
});

All stored search results are displayed on load but when I enter a search query, it returns the supposed un-edited search results. Though the search result array is populated (for e.g.) by 2 items , it is still undefined. I tried to put my own result (just 1) on the example_index.json and tried to input tags relevant to it. It still doesn't show.

3rd edit:

I have this code

$('input').keyup(function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 13)
{
    $(this).trigger("enterKey");
}

});

I use xampp and when I press enter this is what happens. those "Empty list" are from the previous .json file but with a different id . I can't find that part

it has a lot of codes so i uploaded it here (edited: removed link. fixed now)

I read the manual and missed and ingnored the node.js part. As you can see the index_builder.js uses fs, which I learned, that uses node.js. You have to use node.js and run index_builder.js. This will build an index.json file from your data.json(stored search results). The code uses the example source code I have to rebuild the index. Also, I am using xampp for local host.

Step 1. Download and Install node.js 
Step 2. Run Xampp Shell on elasticlunr project directory
Step 3. Type in node index_builder.js
Step 4. Elastic Search will work with the entered query

This is the code of my index_builder.js

var elasticlunr = require('./elasticlunr.js'),
fs = require('fs');

var idx = elasticlunr(function () {
this.setRef('page_id');

this.addField('title');
this.addField('tags');
this.addField('body');
this.addField('url');
});



fs.readFile('./example_data.json', function (err, data) {
if (err) throw err;

var raw = JSON.parse(data);

var questions = raw.questions.map(function (q) {
return {
  page_id: q.page_id,
  title: q.title,
  body: q.body,
  url: q.url,
  tags: q.tags.join(' ')
  };
});

questions.forEach(function (question) {
idx.addDoc(question);
});

fs.writeFile('./example_index.json', JSON.stringify(idx), function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('done');
});
});

Thanks!
