AlgoSearch is a specialized search engine created specifically for coding questions on platforms like Leetcode. It utilizes the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) algorithm to provide accurate search results based on user queries. TF-IDF aims to improve information retrieval by calculating the relevance of documents to a given query.
The server is live at https://algosearch.onrender.com/
Have you ever felt frustrated while searching for coding questions across multiple platforms? So, why not develop our own search engine that can conveniently display results from all platforms in one place? While currently focused on LeetCode, we will be integrating other platforms like CodeChef and CodeForces later?
Follow the instructions below to use AlgoSearch in your own system:
-
Clone or unzip the repository:
git clone https://github.com/aryabhatta0/AlgoSearch-TF-IDF.git cd AlgoSearch-TF-IDF -
Install the required dependencies:
pip install pandas pip install flask
-
Rebuilding the Data [optional]
- Preprocess scraped data:
python preprocess.py
- Prepare vocab etc. JSON files for the search engine:
python prepare.py
- Preprocess scraped data:
-
Check the working of server:
python app.py
To start the search engine, run the following command in the root dir:
flask --app app run
Open your web browser and visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 to access the search engine.
