This is a console application that performs searches and can be customized via JSON files.

• Step 1

  • Clone this repository on your pc use following command:

    • HTTPS: https://github.com/slavroman/search-engine.git
    • SSH: [email protected]:slavroman/search-engine.git
    • GitHub CLI: gh repo clone slavroman/search-engine

    ... or donload as ZIP file and unzip somewhere on your pc.

• Step 2
  • Go to project folder:

    cd search-engine
    

  • Create folder for build and go to it:

    mkdir build
    cd build
    

  • Build the app:

    cmake -G Ninja ..
    ninja -j1
    

    ... or select the generator and compiler you usually use.
• Step 3
  • To run app go to source directory of build and run SearchEngine.exe

    cd src
    SearchEngine.exe
    

  • To run tests for app go to test directory of build and run GTests.exe

    cd tests
    GTests.exe
    

Before running the application, you must specify the paths to the text files to search in the "files" section of the config.json file, as well as your requests in the "requests" section of the requests.json file. All JSON files are located in the "json" folder.

After launching the application, the answers.json file will appear in the "json" folder. It will contain the search results: Query number ("request###"), search result("true" or "false"), and a list of documents sorted by relevance
(Note:"docid" 0 = file001.txt, "docid" 1 = file002.txt, etc.).

For example:

• config.json

  "files": [
  		"./resources/file001.txt",
  		"./resources/file002.txt",
  		"./resources/file003.txt",
  		"./resources/file004.txt",
  		"./resources/file005.txt",
  		"./resources/file006.txt",
  		"./resources/file007.txt",
  		"./resources/file008.txt",
  		"./resources/file009.txt",
  		"./resources/file0010.txt",
  		"./resources/file0011.txt",
  		"./resources/file0012.txt",
  		"./resources/file0013.txt",
  		"./resources/file0014.txt",
  		"./resources/file0015.txt"
  	]

• requests.json

  "requests": [
  		"moscow is the capital of russia",
  		"london",
  		"world"
  	]

• answers.json

  "answers": {
      "request001": {
          "result": true,
          "relevance": [
              {
                  "docid": 7,
                  "rank": 1.0
              },
              {
                  "docid": 0,
                  "rank": 0.667
              },
              {
                  "docid": 1,
                  "rank": 0.667
              },
              {
                  "docid": 2,
                  "rank": 0.667
              },
              {
                  "docid": 3,
                  "rank": 0.667
              }
          ]
      },
      "request002": {
          "result": true,
          "docid": 0,
          "rank": 1.0
      },
      "request003": {
          "result": false
      }
  }
