Implement search algorithm to find relevant Xkcd comics #5

Closed danielrobertson closed 8 years ago

Search algorithm will likely iterate through all explanations, finding the comic with the highest relevance. Need to research search algorithms and how to implement them, or how to use an existing search API.

Search by keyword will be an API endpoint.

My implementation is bare bones td-idf I learned from here, however, we could improve it by integrating Apache Lucene which is also td-idf at its core apparently.
