File Search Engine

This is a terminal based/command line based search engine to search files on a local computer system

Installation

• Any of the two python files can be used according to the need.
• Clone and unzip the repo and install python3. Make sure that all the included libraries in the python file are installed. If not installed, use command "pip3 install <library_name>".

OS Requirements

• This application is built on Ubuntu 16.04 OS.
  • Thus, it runs well on almost all Ubuntu versions.
• The application can be run on other OS also, but all the features are not guaranteed. Eg. word highlight feature is not expected to work on Microsoft Windows OS.

Usage

Open terminal in the repo folder and run "python3 <file_name>" where file_name is "final_search_engine_with_binary_files.py" or "final_search_engine_with_text_files.py"
