Abstract:
We developed a portable full-text search system that runs on Microsoft Windows. The server programs, full-text search executables, and the PHP system files can be stored on a removable memory device, such as a USB flash drive. The storage location of documents and the index are assignable to the host PC or the USB drive. A browser-based crossover search can be performed on plain text files, Word and PDF documents, and Excel spreadsheets. While the system employs established executable files for the server programs and the full-text search engine, we developed interfaces to support system use. We tested the system with more than tens of thousands of records to verify immediate retrieval.
