Indexes Allowing Fast and Efficient Text Search

自从谷歌等搜索引擎出现以来，我们已经期望能够在大量文本中快速找到几个词。生物学家也是如此，他们希望能够提交蛋白质序列，以便与庞大的数据库进行匹配，并在几秒钟内检索和回答。如果成功，这个项目将发明基础软件，使文本中的单词发现更快，使用更少的计算资源比目前的方法。这项技术对搜索公众、科学家和工业界的好处将是立竿见影的，因为生产率将得到提高，成本将得到降低。

Since the arrival of search engines such as Google, it has become an expectation that we can find a few words in a very large amount of text very quickly. This is also true of biologists, who expect to be able to submit protein sequences for matching against a massive database and retrieve and answer in seconds. If successful, this project will invent fundamental software that will allow the discovery of words in text much more quickly, and using less computing resources than current methods. The benefits of this technology to the searching public, scientists, and industry will be immediate as productivity will be improved and costs reduced.
