Search Engine for QnA using Distributed Inverted Index System

The internet along with its global uses has also evolved as a platform where various people can pose their questions on certain sites and get them answered by others from the same domain. Certain sites like Quora, Reddit, Yahoo Answers, etc. are sites enabling people to enhance their range over the net to find solutions to various issues or answers to various questions. But this leads to redundancy in data & hence increased memory consumption where different users can pose the same question in different ways. The same thing stands for the answers posted by different users for the same question in various ways. In this paper, we have worked on a search engine system for Question & Answers where given a question, we can find similar questions with the same semantic meaning using Elastic Search which uses an inverted index system & looks at various aspects of the formulated problem statement.
