A module meant to emulate google's preview (or 'inspect') feature for search results (see file google_feature.png)


# make_tables.py #############################################################

usage: python make_tables.py <url or html file>
       python make_tables.py -f <file with list of urls or html file paths>

Extract all the link sets from urls/html provided, and if used in batch mode (-f option), generate a file with the table of all the link labels, arranged by their frequency over all the pages. The link labels are stemmed using the porter stemming algorithm.


# hij_inspect.py #############################################################

usage: python hij_inspect.py <table filename> <url or html file>

Use the table generated by make_tables.py to calculate scores for each link set present in the specified url/html-file. The link set with the best score is shown in the search results, as a preview. Make sure that table file provided is appropriate for the used url/html file (eg: probably want news table for a site like cnn)


# TESTING ####################################################################

For testing, try these:

    python make_tables.py testfiles/serafina_mod.html
    python make_tables.py http://www.nytimes.com/
    python make_tables.py -f testfiles/urls_test

    # file table_testfiles-urls_test is the result of the last command in the above list...
    python hij_inspect.py table_testfiles-urls_test http://www.cnn.com


Sample output of these commands can be seen in the SAMPLE_RUN.txt file
