SWIRL SEARCH 1.5 is now available! http://swirl.today/

This release features a totally new relevancy model!! The former boosting system has been retired in favor of a scorer that aggregates the similarity of each query match against the relevant section of text, then normalizes results by length.

SWIRL 1.5 matches stemmed word forms, to improve recall, and downweights stopwords - all thanks to NLTK. The spaCy based vector similarity further benefits from cleaning of the snippet responses via Beautiful Soup.

Finally, SWIRL can now federate with M365 including Outlook Messages, Calendar, OneDrive Files and SharePoint Sites and Lists:

ABOUT SWIRL
SWIRL is the first open source, federated search engine. It makes it easy for search developers, analysts and data scientists to query multiple search engines in parallel. SWIRL re-ranks the unified results using built-in cosine-vector similarity without copying or indexing anything. It includes connectors to the most popular open-source search engines that are configured (not coded) in minutes; processors to normalize and store responses, and result "mixers" that organize results for use by most any UI, system or framework. Results can even be automatically deleted as they age using the built-in expiration service. SWIRL SEARCH is available under the Apache 2.0 license.
