Command line driven text search engine

This project is to write a command line driven text search engine

This project reads all the text files in the given directory, building an in memory and then give a command prompt at which interactive searches can be run.

The search engine take the words on the command prompt and return a list of the top matching file names in rank order and giving the rank score.

Ranking

• The rank score is 100% if a file contains all the words
• It is 0% if it contains none of the words
• It is between 0 and 100 when contains some of the words
