Full-Text Searching

From Simple Wiki
(Redirected from Full-Text Search)

Full-Text Search is used to match patterns or keywords within the text of your documents.

For electronic documents like MS Office and PDF files, most Document Management Software applications, Cloud Storage platforms and Windows Search have the ability to create full-text search index and quickly display any documents that match your query.

Scanned documents require OCR to create the electronic text required for searching. The text generated can be saved to text files that correspond to the original images, or Searchable PDF files with the text and scanned image together.

Full-text data can also be saved to a Database that can also provide full-text query capabilities. Use this in your application or use SimpleSearch to connect to the database and provide search and viewing capabilities.

Full-Page OCR text can also be used in a variety of ways by SimpleIndex to automate document indexing processes.
