>>Hello,
>>
>>We are starting to investigate different methods of searching
>>large medical documents for key words or phrases. The documents may
>>be text, html, xml, or MS word documents. The main idea is to search
>>and retrieve a list of documents quickly that match a given medical
>>key word(s) or phrase(s), similar to google or other internet
>>search engines; this is not intended to be an internet application,
>>but strictly an in-house application.
>>
>>I've been reading the Oracle Context and XDB guides, and have several
>>questions.
>>1) Is XDB only for XML documents?
>>2) Is storing/searching a document in XDB faster than using
>> Context and a context index?
>>3) Is there any Oracle tool to convert text, html, ms word documents to
>> XML?
>>4) Context appears to be more flexible (handles text, html, msword and xml),
>> but I'm guessing that XDB is faster for just XML; is that correct?
>>4) Are there other non-Oracle tools that are (in your humble opinion)
>> superior to XDB and Context?
>>
>>Cost is a definite factor.
>>
>>Any other comments regarding XDB, Context or other tools are very welcome.
>>
>>Thanks to any responders.
