%P 280-288
%X An existing typesetting system is tied by bridging software to and
existing page presentation program to effect both hard (typeset) copy
and interactive browsing. The typesetting program formats for a
variety of output devices, and the "browsing" feature appears to the
user as simply another output device that happens to be interactive.

%X An evaluation of a large, operational, full-text document
retrieval system (containing roughly 350 000 pages of text) shows the
system to be retrieving less than 20% of the documents relevant to a
particular search. The findings are discussed in terms of the theory
and practice of full-text document retrieval.
