Abstract
The Microtext system represents a new approach to the design and implementation of a full-text retrieval system. The approach is unusual in that it integrates hardware, firmware, and software components in an attempt to provide a solution to the problems involved in processing large files of unformatted textual data. The system is based on a minicomputer specialized for high-speed full-text retrieval, through the use of a finite state search algorithm implemented in firmware.
