Abstract

Electronic program guide (EPG) provides information that helps viewer to get to know which programs are available for watching. Our system provides recommendation feature based on EPG metadata. When this does not satisfy viewer needs, the system provides a search feature which viewer can use to find content he is interested in. Search is designed to find EPG events whose essence is similar to what viewer is searching for. That is achieved by using adequate indexing technique, with help of stemming and scoring mechanisms. Such search implementation showed better results in comparison to the search realised using SQL.
