Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

From there, I was asked to optimize the system by indexing each word during logging to improve search efficiency. The interviewer also emphasized that their standards were very high, which made me feel frustrated and confused about what level of correctness or completeness they expected.

Across the loop, there were more coding challenges
