How It Works

Builds an inverted index over all .jsonl tile files in the corpus directory. Each tile's question and answer fields are tokenized and indexed. Queries are scored by term overlap with ranking.

Performance: 5447 tiles indexed in <1 second, queries return in <10ms.

Tile Format

Expects JSONL files with tiles in this format:

{"id": "...", "question": "...", "answer": "...", "domain": "...", "difficulty": "advanced"}
