Google Autocomplete Project

Overview

The Google Autocomplete Project is a Python-based search system that mimics the functionality of Google's autocomplete feature. The project uses the Levenshtein Distance Algorithm to provide suggestions for user inputs based on a pre-defined dataset of search terms. The system efficiently predicts and completes user queries as they type, offering a fast and accurate user experience.

Features

  • Trie Data Structure: Utilizes a Trie for efficient insertion and search operations to handle autocomplete suggestions.
  • Levenshtein Distance: Implements the Levenshtein Distance Algorithm to provide intelligent and context-aware suggestions, even when user input contains typos or misspellings.
  • Auto-update Trie: Continuously updates the Trie with new search queries, adapting to changing user behavior.
  • Efficient Search: Provides fast query suggestions by optimizing both the search and autocomplete operations.

Technologies Used

  • Programming Language: Python
  • Algorithm: Levenshtein Distance for fuzzy matching
  • Data Structure: Trie (Prefix Tree)

How it Works

  1. Input Processing: The system accepts user input in real-time as a query string.
  2. Search Matching: It uses the Trie data structure to look up words that match the prefix of the input string.
  3. Fuzzy Matching: For incomplete or incorrect entries, the Levenshtein algorithm is applied to calculate the edit distance between the user input and existing terms, providing relevant suggestions.
  4. Real-Time Updates: New search terms are dynamically added to the Trie and the search space is continuously updated.
