Pustakalya

025.524 — Search strategy
What the
catalogue
can do.

Six capabilities on one index. None of them is a separate product or a
separate contract.

01
Semantic search

Matched on meaning, so a question in a student’s
own words finds the passage that answers it — across
every format you hold.

02
Sourced summaries

Chapter, paper or full-volume summaries on demand,
each statement traceable to a page.

03
Reading paths

A topic in, an ordered route out — foundations first,
then depth, then practice.

04
The reader

Clean typography, adjustable size, dark mode, and an
assistant that answers without moving you off the
page.

05
Ingestion with OCR

Bulk import of PDF, EPUB, DOCX and scanned
material, with OCR for anything that arrives as an
image.

06
Usage analytics

What’s searched, opened and abandoned — and the
gap report of what readers looked for and didn’t find.

025.3 — Cataloguing
How a search
resolves.
Four stages, every time a question is typed.
Stage one
Parse

Read for intent, subject and level —
not split into keywords.

Stage two
Retrieve

Candidate passages pulled by meaning
from the whole index, your own
uploads included.

Stage three
Rank

Ordered by how directly each one
answers, with reading level weighed
in.

Stage four
Cite

Each result opens at the exact page,
source recorded for citation.
