This is a small Shakespeare search engine.
It is my course project for SEIS731 "Information Retrieval" at University of St. Thomas, .
The engine lets you perform both free text query and phrase query against Shakespeare's whole collection (except Poetry) based on a command line interface.
The system contains a crawler, indexer and a query processor.
The crawler crawls Shakespeare's whole collection from http://shakespeare.mit.edu/.
The indexer then builds inverted index and position index based on the whole collection that have been crawled.
To crawl data and build index, run:
$ cd src
$ chmod +x run_crawler_indexer.sh
After this, to start query, run:
$ python query.py
