HSE Final Project by Ruby, Jack Dev., Jack Doz., and Liam
Our product, Searching for Satisfaction (or Lyric Search), allows people to discover music that best caters to their desires and musical tastes. All data will derive from the database millionsongdataset.com/musixmatch/ and will match with the user’s inputted wants. Our project will index lyrics to allow a user to search based on select inputs to be interpreted by our program. We will take, as our minimum viable product, a few words to match the “vibe” (or lyrics) of a specific song. Lyrics will be stemmed, as to make searching (in regards to tenses) more seamless.
“Listener” or “User”: a person who uses software derived from this project. “Song” or “Lyrics”: content derived from the Million Song Dataset. “Input”: a strand of words to connect wants with products.

These past three weeks have been an enjoyable, informative time. Throughout the process, the entire Searching for Satisfaction team has had a chance to test their respective CS skills leading into the end of the academic quarter. In the beginning, we had very ambitious plans and were able to meet most of our goals. Some additions that were not defined in the descriptions.
