Console Search Engine

Reads all the text files in the given directory, building an in memory representation of the files and their contents, and then give a command prompt at which interactive searches can be performed.

The search should take the words given on the command prompt and return a list of the top 10 (max) matching filenames in rank order, giving the rank score against each match.

Software prerequisites

• Java 8 (JDK not JRE)
• Latest Maven
• To verify the installation run in a terminal: mvn --version and should appear a message with Maven and Java version.

Install and run the project

1. Download and extract the project.
2. From the folder project run the command mvn clean package and the console shows a message [INFO] BUILD SUCCESS when the build finished without errors.
3. In the project folder there is a new /target folder with a jar file inside.
4. To run the application in the /target folder run this command java -jar schibsted-demo.jar /foo/bar

Things to consider

• You must enter your search words separated by a blank.
• A word is a match if it's preceded by a blank, then every letter matches and it's followed by a blank, a comma or a dot.
