V6 Text Search Engine

Overview

V6 is a text search engine that uses the classical vector space model to search for a query in a collection of documents (corpus). V6 contains 3 main components:

1. V6 Core: The core library that implements all needed components and data structures to build the search engine. (Has alot to be added)
2. V6 Server: The server that provides the engine through a REST API. (Not Implemented yet.)
3. V6 Client: The client that provides a read-evaluate-print loop (REPL) interface to interact with the server. (Not Implemented yet.)
