Run index.py script to index documents stored in resources/dataset directory:

$ python index.py

The indexed data is stored in data/ directory. The set of words is stored in dictionary.txt file. The list of all documents and inverted index is serialized into docs.pickle and inverted_index.pickle files (using pickle serializer module). These files will be read by query.py script to perform query.

To perform query, run query.py script and provide an argument for it:

$ python query.py "your query here"
