textpress: A Lightweight and Versatile NLP Toolkit

A lightweight toolkit for text retrieval and NLP with a consistent and predictable API organized around four actions: fetching, reading, processing, and searching. Functions cover the full pipeline from web data acquisition to text processing and indexing. Multiple search strategies are supported including regex, BM25 keyword ranking, cosine similarity, and dictionary matching. Pipe-friendly with no heavy dependencies and all outputs are plain data frames. Also useful as a building block for retrieval-augmented generation pipelines and autonomous agent workflows.
