HotelSearch is a project developed for an Information Retrieval course at the Università della Svizzera Italiana. It is a search engine specifically made for hotels in Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, United Kingdom.
It was developed using:
- Nutch, to crawl the websites
- Solr, to do the actual search
- Google Maps API, to display the top 20 results on a map
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
-
In order for HotelSearch to work properly, you have to download my Solr package.
-
After the download has completed, open your terminal, go to the solr-8.2.0 directory and type the following command:
bin/solr start -
Solr will start on
localhost:8983 -
Have fun!
