We might even use String Trie. The search time would be O(m) where m is the length of maximum length keyword. Since mN (normally), it would be as good as O(1). This would of course require preprocessing. Again, I am assuming no constraint on space. On 9/25/07, Sticker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Another possibility is to first pre-process the keywords into automaton-like structure (Google for Aho Corasick string matcher), and then use it over the document. This would probably be helpful only if the number of keywords is much smaller than the document itself.. On 9/25/07, daizisheng
