🚀 SEARCH ENGINE PROJECT (Sistem Temu Balik Informasi)

📖 DESCRIPTION

This project is a search engine web application built with Flask, implemented using two separate Python scripts, each serving a different dataset and functionality:

• 📚 SearchEngine.py: A search engine for Harry Potter books & characters.
  Includes boolean retrieval, term frequency ranking, stopword removal, and approximate character name matching using Levenshtein distance.

• 🎵 MusicSearchEngine.py: A search engine for song lyrics.
  Includes boolean retrieval, term frequency ranking, and stopword removal.

Both engines are independent and provide their own web interfaces.
This project demonstrates core Information Retrieval (IR) concepts, Text Preprocessing, and Web Deployment with Flask.
