StatWrap: Cross-Project Searching and Classification using Local Indexing

Hello👋! I am Debangi Ghosh, currently pursuing a degree in Mathematics and Computing at IIT (BHU) Varanasi, India. This summer, I will be working on the StatWrap: Cross-Project Searching and Classification using Local Indexing project under the mentorship of Luke Rasmussen. You can view my project proposal for more details.

My project aims to address the challenges in project navigation and discoverability by integrating a robust full-text search capability within the user interface. Instead of relying on basic keyword-based search—where remembering exact terms can be difficult—we plan to implement a natural language-based full-text search. This approach involves two main stages: indexing, which functions like creating a searchable map of the content, and searching, which retrieves relevant information from that map. We will evaluate and compare available open-source libraries to choose and implement the most effective one. In addition, my project aims to enhance project organization by introducing a new classification system that clearly distinguishes between “Active” and “Past” projects in the user interface. This will improve clarity, reduce clutter, and provide a more streamlined experience as the number of projects grows.

Stay tuned for updates on my progress in the coming weeks! 🚀
