Product Information

Description

Babelia is a web search engine and crawler built entirely in the Scheme programming language, demonstrating the language's capabilities for systems programming and network applications. The crawler systematically indexes web pages by following links and extracting content, while the search engine component allows users to query this indexed data with relevant results. Key features include efficient text processing algorithms implemented in Scheme, customizable crawling parameters, and a lightweight architecture suitable for research or specialized search applications. This project serves as both a functional tool for information retrieval and a reference implementation for developers interested in functional programming approaches to web technologies, particularly within academic or experimental contexts where Scheme's expressive power and simplicity are valued.
