Unstructured Data Bases or Very Efficient Text Searching

Summary: Algorithms for searching massive unstructured text DBs: some operate directly on raw text, others use preprocessing to achieve logarithmic-time queries. Introduces compact signature functions to handle misspellings, variants, positional info and efficient plagiarism detection. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
