This project provides a REST API that allows users to submit URLs for crawling. The app internally uses RabbitMQ to publish the URLs, and then listens back to fetch the contents of the URLs using Jsoup. The app also scrapes links and indexes the content using Apache Lucene. Finally, the app recursively publishes the links to RabbitMQ.

In addition, the app provides a search API that allows users to submit queries and retrieve the top 10 pages based on the best match. This app can also be used to crawl internal portals and search within them.

To run the application, you will need Docker and Docker Compose installed on your local machine.

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the project directory in the terminal.
3. Run the following command to start the application:

./start.sh  # Make sure to give execution permission

4. This will start the RabbitMQ server, build and start the Docker containers for the Spring Boot application, and set up the necessary environment variables.
5. Once the application is running, you can submit URLs to the /api/crawl endpoint and queries to the /api/search endpoint.

Note: If you encounter any issues while running the application, please refer to the logs generated by Docker Compose.
