Search Engine

---

Search Engine is a simple, efficient engine that builds a reverse index for keyword searching and ranks results using the PageRank algorithm.

📋 Requirements

Before compiling the project, ensure your environment meets the following requirements:

• CMake 3.10 or higher
• Google Test for unit testing
• A C++11 compatible compiler or higher

📂 Project Structure

The project is organized as follows:

• src/: Main implementation of the search engine, including reverse indexing and the PageRank algorithm.
• tests/: Unit tests to verify the functionality of the system.
• CMakeLists.txt: Configuration file for building the project with CMake.

🔧 Building the Project

To compile the project, follow these steps:

1. Create a build directory and navigate into it:

   mkdir build && cd build

2. Run CMake to generate the build files:

   cmake ..

3. Compile the project using make:

   make

🧪 Running Tests

Run unit tests to ensure the correctness of the system.

1. After building the project, navigate to the build directory and execute:

   ./tests/unit-tests/LibUnitTests

This will run the tests covering search engine functionality, reverse indexing, and the PageRank algorithm.

🚀 Running Examples

The first step is building the project, for this to run:

poetry install
poetry build

After building it, run this command to see the library working:

poetry run python Examples/graph_example.py

⚙️ How It Works

• Reverse Indexing: Maps keywords to the documents where they appear.
• PageRank: An algorithm that assigns a relevance score to each document based on its links and structure.
• Querying: Searches for documents related to a keyword and ranks them according to their PageRank score.
