Search Engine for Movies

Domain specific Information Retrieval System

Problem Statement:

The task is to build a search engine which will cater to the needs of a particular domain. You have to feed your IR model with documents containing information about the chosen domain. It will then process the data and build indexes. Once this is done, the user will give a query as an input. You are supposed to return top 10 relevant documents as the output.
