TF-IDF Search Engine (java, written by Gemini Code Assist)

Gemini Code Assist wrote this java project from the task below. It installed and ran on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: TF-IDF Search Engine

Write a program that builds a TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) index over a collection of text documents and supports ranked keyword search queries returning the most relevant documents.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a directory of text files as a command-line argument to build the index
- Tokenize documents: split on whitespace and punctuation, convert to lowercase, remove stop words (built-in list of common English stop words like "the", "is", "and", etc.)
- Support optional stemming/lemmatization via --stem flag to group word variants (e.g., "running", "runs", "ran" all map to "run")
- Compute TF-IDF scores for each term in each document using standard formulas: TF = term count / total terms in document, IDF = log(total documents / documents containing term)
- Accept search queries via --query flag and return the top N most relevant documents ranked by cosine similarity between query vector and document vectors (--top flag, default 10)
- Support multi-word queries: compute a query TF-IDF vector and rank documents by similarity
- Support boolean operators in queries via --boolean flag: AND (both terms required), OR (either term), NOT (exclude term)
- Display search results showing: rank, document name, relevance score, and a snippet of the matching text with query terms highlighted
- Save the built index to a file via --save-index flag for reuse without reprocessing
- Load a previously saved index via --load-index flag
- Print index statistics: total documents, total unique terms, average document length, most common terms (top 20)
- Save search results as JSON with --output flag
- If no directory is given, generate a sample corpus of 20 short documents on varied topics (science, sports, technology, cooking, travel), build the index, and demonstrate several search queries with ranked results
- Handle errors: empty documents, binary files in the directory, extremely large documents, and empty queries

Create a complete Java project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only JDK 17+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- pom.xml with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# TF-IDF Search Engine (Java)

A tool for building a search index and performing ranked searches using Apache Lucene.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure JDK 17+ and Maven are installed.
2. Build the project:
   ```bash
   mvn clean package
   ```

## Run Commands

- **Search**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/tfidf-engine-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar "quantum computing"
  ```
