Program Structure:

The program is divided into two main projects:

The web application - which is the application the user interacts with and the requests are being sent from.

The web server - where the requests are being handled (by controllers) and where the models are defined. Under the Controllers folder in this project you will find:

• Admin controller:
  • Getting the document from the link and parsing it
  • Creating the index file and inverted index file
  • Saving the documents and the terms in the database
  • Getting all the documents to the admin
  • Activating and deactivating documents
• Search controller:
  • Query validations
  • Query parsing
  • Combine soundex and stemming
  • Supports binary operators and parentheses in the query
  • Getting the relevant documents from the query’s words
