Abstract
The present invention provides a text searching method including the steps of: extracting initials of corresponding words in a text to be searched according to a predetermined extracting rule to form an initial character string; creating mapping relation between the extracted initial character string and the text to be searched; performing matching between the initial character string and an abbreviation character string to be searched for; and determining an expanded phrase corresponding to the abbreviation character string to be searched for and a location of the expanded phrase in the text to be searched according to a result of the matching and the mapping relation. The invention further provides a text searching device for implementing the method and a text processor including the text searching device. With the invention, a searching function can be implemented precisely and efficiently to locate an expanded phrase of a phrase abbreviation in the text to be searched, even if a user only knows the phrase abbreviation but can not completely spell the expanded phrase thereof.
