Information retrieval using micros Available to Purchase

This forms the basic theme of this presentation. I am sure that this is evident to everybody who has any concern in this field at all. Most of the increasing power of microcomputer information retrieval systems comes from two developments: the developments of the information retrieval engine itself and the development of the user interface. The basic parameters of text retrieval remain much the same i.e. select your index terms, create an inverted file, provide very rapid search facilities and Boolean operands to limit your searches. The basic flaw in all text retrieval is the heavy investment in processing of the inverted file which makes most text retrieval unsatisfactory for transaction based processing such as stock control.
