This repository provides tools to download, process, and search through 3GPP documents via an inverted index, using Elasticsearch and Flask.

• main.ipynb: A Jupyter notebook to run all the scripts in order.
• dl_docs.py: Download documents (in .zip format) from a 3GPP website.
• process_docs.py: Scan '.doc' files, extract raw text, and save them as '.txt' files.
• inverse_index.py: Tokenize the '.txt' files and index them using Elasticsearch. Also contains a function to search for documents directly.
• app.py: A Flask application to search for a given 3GPP specification and display matching filenames along with links to view/download the files.
• index.html: A web page to render the search form and display the results.
