Phase Two – Index the DocumentsIn this phase of the project students build the indexing component of the search engine. Theindexer takes a sequence of file names as input. When integrated with other componentsto make a complete search engine, these files are sent from the crawler(s). For each of thefiles specified by the file name, the indexer processes the file in the following steps.Lexical analysis (tokenizing) divides the input stream into tokens and extracts words as well as URLs from the input stream. Students were advised to convert characters into their lower case and squeeze multiple spaces between words into a single space for easy processing. The exception is that the cases and spacing in URLs are preserved.Stopwords

Without the program I know that I wouldhave thought I was „good enough‟ at all of the skills previously mentioned. As soon as thisthought pops into ones head, that is the end of any hope that one can make a difference. I thinkthat is one of the biggest lessons learned through the program‟s coursework.
