Package: textpress 1.1.2

Jason Timm

textpress: A Lightweight and Versatile NLP Toolkit

An R toolkit for building text corpora and searching them. Collect URLs and provenance from RSS and Atom feeds, Wikipedia and its citations, or supply existing URLs. No custom object classes, just plain data frames from start to finish. Covers the full arc from URL to retrieved passage through a consistent four-step API: Fetch, Read, Process, Search. Traditional tools (KWIC, BM25, dictionary matching) sit alongside modern ones (semantic search, LLM-ready chunking), all compatible with the native R pipe ('|>').
