- Does anyone know of a text document retrieval program (full text database)
- that uses a data dictionary, (containing a list of all unique words in
- a text file heirachy,) and an extensible hash (perhaps dbm, or the
- gnu dbm, gdbm) to reference the files in the heirachy containing any
- word on demand? Is the source available?
-
- The usage would be to query the system for the name of all files that
- contain a certain word, (or words, perhaps with logical operations.)
-
- Any help, direction or opinions would be welcome ...
- Thanks,
