ABSTRACT:
A new and useful updating tool is provided for indexing electronic text in a highly integrated electronic text indexing and search system. The integrated system encompasses a concept model, a query model, an enhanced markup tool, a user interface, and a search engine. A domain expert utilizes the integrated system to efficiently and effectively indexing electronic text for precise and fast retrieval by a search engine. The updating tool aids the indexing process as a consequence of changes in the query model, to an indexed document, or both. The updating tool comprises a document change tool and a query model change tool as well as an enhanced markup tool and an enhanced query model tool. The updating tool guides the domain expert by suggesting which indices need to be updated and flags index entries that need to be removed.
