*Improvements to Debain Search - Report 2 * Mentor : Olly Betts
*Work I am doing right now:* - I learnt an important lesson about software engineering this week."It is impossible to predict how much it will take to do something." - I realized that I had missed an important part of the weighting schemes- dealing with negative weights . - I spent the whole week on modifying the code of all the schemes so that they never return negative weights. - Like an idiot, I wold compile each branch and modify it in turn and a lot of time got wasted in minor improvements. - And then my mentor taught me that :It is better to focus on one thing at a time. - But I did write of code to deal with negative weights and weighting schemes will be officially done before sunday." *Work I will do in the next week:* - Design the base class for query expansion. - This is the link to all the pull requests containing also the additional changes mentioned above :- https://github.com/xapian/xapian/pulls -Regards -Aarsh
