redis_search.py
Written by Josiah Carlson July 3, 2010
Released into the public domain.
This module implements a simple TF/IDF indexing and search algorithm using
Redis as a datastore server. The particular algorithm implemented uses the
standard TF/IDF scoring of (using Python notation):
sum((document.count(term) / len(document)) *
log(index.doc_count() / len(index.docs_with(term)), 2)
for term in terms)
