# search_keywords.py
# Keyword search: extract terms from a query using POS tagging, then grep
# across journal files for matches.
#
# Complements the vector search pipeline by catching exact names, places,
# and dates that embeddings can miss. No vector store or LLM needed.
#
# Term extraction uses NLTK POS tagging to keep nouns (NN*), proper nouns
# (NNP*), and adjectives (JJ*) -- skipping stopwords and function words
# automatically. Consecutive proper nouns are joined into multi-word phrases
# (e.g., "Robert Wright" stays as one search term, not "robert" + "wright").
