  • Publication number: 20040111404
    Abstract: A text processor or text processing software determines a significance value of a search word based upon the word occurrence in a specified part of a predetermined text database. After a search request is inputted and parsed, each of the search word candidates is searched in a specified portion of the predetermined text database. For example, a search word candidate is searched only in a near portion or area of the predetermined text database to determine its specific area occurrence value. The above determined specific area occurrence value is used in the subsequent steps or tasks to accomplish a desired task.
