WordSearch

This project is the beginning of a larger search engine project. Currently, the two files included in this repo just
a) naively search specified files for a single search term
b)generate HTML files from a few popular websites (i.e. something to be searched).

Many more stages and a lot more functionality to come!

Contents

• wordsearch.py
• htmlgrab.py

Getting Started

Open REPL

To search a file:

python wordsearch.py /path/to/file_being_searched

To generate HTML files to be searched (from 6 popular websites) and store them in the current directory:

python html_grabber.py

To do:

• add multi-word search, phrase searching, case sensitivity options (with and without possible words in between)
• add indexing method into WordSearch so that traversal can either check for matches or create an index
• add an HTML parser to the htmlgrab and integrate with the indexer to allow for better searching
• build out actual class structure in the htmlgrabber
• related word searching
• And lots more!
