I can see there's an error in the demo.py script when trying to access the 'inverted_index' key from the structure. Let me investigate the code to understand what's happening.

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now let me check the server.py file to understand what the `/index/structure` endpoint actually returns:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me check the bm25_engine.py file to see what the `get_index_info()` method returns:

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me check the `get_index_structure()` method in the InvertedIndex class:

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now I understand the issue! [[memory:8629917]] The server returns the index structure in a nested format, but the demo.py script is trying to access it incorrectly. The server returns:
```
{
    'statistics': {...},
    'structure': {
        'inverted_index': {...},
        'document_info': {...}
    },
    'bm25_params': {...}
}
```

But the demo.py is trying to access `structure['inverted_index']` directly instead of `structure['structure']['inverted_index']`. Let me fix this:

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Perfect! I've fixed the issue in the demo.py file. The problem was that the server's `/index/structure` endpoint returns a nested structure where the actual index information is under a 'structure' key, but the demo script was trying to access it directly. 

The fix properly handles the nested structure:
- The response contains `{'statistics': {...}, 'structure': {...}, 'bm25_params': {...}}`
- The inverted index is actually at `data['structure']['inverted_index']`, not `data['inverted_index']`
- I've also added safe access with `.get()` methods to handle missing keys gracefully

Now you can run the demo again:

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Excellent! The demo is now working perfectly. The issue has been fixed successfully. The problem was that the server's `/index/structure` endpoint returns a nested JSON structure, but the demo script was trying to access the fields at the wrong level.

The server returns:
```json
{
    "statistics": {...},
    "structure": {
        "inverted_index": {...},
        "document_info": {...}
    },
    "bm25_params": {...}
}
```

The fix properly navigates the nested structure and adds safe access patterns with `.get()` methods to handle missing keys gracefully. The demo now successfully:

1. **Indexes 10 sample documents** covering topics like Python, Machine Learning, NLP, databases, etc.
2. **Displays index statistics** showing term frequencies and document counts
3. **Visualizes the index structure** including BM25 parameters, inverted index samples, and document information
4. **Performs various searches** demonstrating the BM25 ranking algorithm with different queries
5. **Tests document retrieval** by fetching specific documents by ID

The sparse embedding (BM25) search engine is working as expected, providing educational insights into how inverted indices and text search algorithms work!
