Project re-isearch is a novel multimodal search and retrieval engine using mathematical models and algorithms different from the all-too-common inverted index. The design allows it to have, in practice, effectively no limits on the frequency of words, term length, number of fields or complexity of structured data and support even overlap--- where fields or structures cross other's boundaries (common examples are quotes, line/sentences, biblical verse, annotations). Its model enables a completely flexible unit of retrieval and modes of search. Developed using a highly portable C++ subset to be RAM efficient, the engine provides also bindings to a number of other languages such as Python, Tcl, Java etc. |
