Abstract
A computer system and method for document indexing and data retrieval. A full text index is created in two phases. In the first phase, a word list symbol table, an alphabetically ordered list, and a non-repeating word number stream are constructed from the source text. In the second phase, a word number access array and in-memory full text index are constructed and then index data is merged into the final index.
