Abstract:
In text retrieval, full-text search refers to
techniques for searching a single computer-stored
document or a collection in a full-text database.
However, when the number of documents to
search is potentially large, or the quantity of
search queries to perform is substantial, the
problem of full-text search is often divided into
two tasks: indexing and searching. This paper
proposes a full text search in Myanmar documents
stored in text and printed document form format.
The indexing is based on inverted structure and
the searching is done using Apache Lucene
engine. Although there are many systems support
file content search, searching contents in
Myanmar language is not widely used. So, it is
found that the proposed system is useful for the
content search in files such as PDFs, Microsoft
Word and text files written in Myanmar language.
