HotelSearch is a project developed for an Information Retrieval course at the Università della Svizzera Italiana. It is a search engine specifically made for hotels in Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, United Kingdom.

It was developed using:

• Nutch, to crawl the websites
• Solr, to do the actual search
• Google Maps API, to display the top 20 results on a map
• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript

1. In order for HotelSearch to work properly, you have to download my Solr package.

2. After the download has completed, open your terminal, go to the solr-8.2.0 directory and type the following command: bin/solr start

3. Solr will start on localhost:8983
