Keyword is an application that was developed to be a small tool that provides information retrieval by searching for keywords in an information data file which is administered using any simple text editor.
Each item of information has a title, as set of keywords, and a text content. The user specifies the keywords required and the program gives a list of titles of items that match the keywords. Matching can be for either information items containing all the user's keywords or containing any of the user's keywords. When a title from the list of
matches is selected then the text content is displayed.
The default name of the information data file is Data.txt and it contains items of information in the format :
^1Title
^2keyword1 keyword2 keyword3 keyword4 keyword5 keyword6 keyword7 ...
^3Text for as many lines as needed
Here is an example of an item of information :
^1Rotherham Citizens Advice Bureau
^2rotherham advice finance debt benefit
^3Rotherham Citizens Advice Bureau
