Document Retrieval

Document retrieval is the process of finding and selecting relevant documents from a large collection based on a user's query or needs. Think of it like using a search engine: you input keywords or questions, and the system scans its database to identify the most pertinent documents, whether they’re articles, reports, or files. This process involves understanding the user's intent, analyzing the content of documents, and ranking results to deliver the most useful information quickly and accurately. It’s widely used in digital libraries, online search engines, and information management systems.
