Abstract

Database locations for user-supplied query keywords are individually determined. Those locations for the full set of query keywords and for successively smaller groups of such query keywords are screened for locations common to all words of a group. The screening is stopped after all query keywords have been considered and found to have been included in at least one of the tested groups of query keywords having a common database location.
