Little Helper - Full Text Search for the Racket Documentation

This is a small search engine geared towards Racket/Scheme source and documentation.

How to install and start the search engine

1. Download the source and datafile from GitHub:

   • click the download button
   • pick tar-ball or zip-file
   • download and unpack

2. Run "web/run-me.rkt" in DrRacket (or use racket web/run-me.rkt )

That's it.

Project Description

The project comes with:

• lexers for Scheme source and documentation
• an indexer based on the algoritms in the book "Managing Gigabytes"
• ranking algorithm
• functions for generating snippets around found keywords
• an pre-made index for docs.racket-lang.org
• a web interface for making actual searches
• (mumble) a little cruft here and there
