README

GopherSearch

GopherSearch is a search engine written in GoLang that indexes HTML files within a specified folder, creating a JSON index file. The program also serves a local server that allows users to perform searches using TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) ranking on the indexed files and returns relevant search results to the user.

Installation

To install GopherSearch, make sure you have GoLang installed on your machine. You can then clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gophersearch.git
cd gopherSearch
go build main.go

Usage

To index the HTML files and serve the local server, use the following command:

./main serve <path_to_folder>

Replace <path_to_folder> with the path to the folder containing the HTML files you want to index.

Searching Process

Once the server is running, you can perform searches using a web browser or API requests. The search query will be processed using TF-IDF on the indexed files. The server will return relevant search results to the user.
