+# p-search: a local search engine in Emacs

+
+Search is an essential part of any digital work.  Despite this 
+importance, most tools don't go beyond simple string/regex matching. 
+Oftentimes, a user knows more about what they're looking for: who 
+authored the file, how often it's modified, as well as search terms that 
+the user is only slightly confident exist.
+
+p-search is a search-engine designed to combine the various prior 
+knowledge about the search target, presenting it to the user in a 
+systematic way.  In this talk, I will present this package as well as go 
+over the fundamentals of inforation retrieval.
+
+Details:
+
+In this talk, I will go over the p-search.  p-search is a search-engine
+to assist users in finding things, with a focus on flexibility and
+customizablity.
+
+The talk will begin by going over concepts from the field of information
+retrieval such as indexing, querying, ranking, and evaluating.  This
+will provide the necessary background to describe the workings of
+p-search.
+
+Next, an overview of the p-search package and its features will be
+given.  p-search utilizes a probabilistic framework to rank documents
+according to prior beliefs as to what the file is.  So for example, a
+user might know for sure that the file contains a particular string,
+might have a strong feeling that it should contain another word, and
+things that some other words it may contain.  The user knows the file
+extension, the subdirectory, and has known that a particular person
+works on this file a lot.  p-search allows the user to express all of
+these predicates at once, and ranks documents accordingly.
+
+The talk will then progress to discuss assorted topics concerting the
+project, such as design considerations and future directions.
+
+The aim of the talk is to expand the listeners' understanding of search
+as well as inspire creativity concerning the possibilities of search
+tools.
