About
In this project you will create your own search engine, though it probably won’t compete with Google. Yours will be a simple search engine that processes a limited collection of data and searches it for a word or a phrase. It’ll be simple but cool.
Graduate project
This project covers the core topics of the Kotlin Developer course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.
At least one graduate project is required to complete the course.
What you'll learn
Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:
Set two strings (where to search and what to search) for the program to return an index of the searched word or report “not found”
With the help of lists and linear search, add more strings to the program and search for specific data from that input.
Using switch operator and methods, create a user menu for your search engine
Enable your search engine to search for data stored in the files
Working with lists and maps, build the inverted index to enhance your search
Get familiar with patterns and learn to deal with more complex types of search

Pretty good project. Difficulty could have been little bit higher.
