ABSTRACT:
A full text indexing system is provided for processing content associated with data applications such as encyclopedia and dictionary applications. A build process collects data from various sources, processes the data into constituent parts, including alternative word sets, and stores the constituent parts in structured database tables. A run-time process is used to query the database tables and the results in order to provide effective matches in an efficient manner. Run-time processing is optimized by preprocessing all steps that are query-independent during the build process. A double word table representing all possible word pair combinations for each index entry and an alternative word table are used to further optimize runtime processing.
