Abstract

Provided is a system and method for searching for a document based on a policy. The system includes: a document database for storing document files; a document format and text filer for extracting document format information and text information from a document newly stored in the document database; a document format policy module for setting a document format search policy according to an instruction from an administrator; a document text policy module for setting a document text search policy according to an instruction from the administrator; a document format information search module for searching for a document having a document format matching the set document format search policy in the document database; and a document text information search module for searching for a document having a text matching the set document text search policy in the document database.

Claims

1. A system for searching for a document based on a policy, comprising:

a document database for storing document files;

a document format and text filer for extracting document format information and text information from a document newly stored in the document database and adding the extracted information to the document database;

a document format policy module for setting a document format search policy according to an instruction from an administrator;

a document text policy module for setting a document text search policy according to an instruction from the administrator;

a document format information search module for searching for a document having a document format matching the set document format search policy in the document database; and

a document text information search module for searching for a document having a text matching the set document text search policy in the document database.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a display for providing a search result of the document format information search module and the document text information search module to the administrator.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the document format policy module sets a document format search policy based on at least one of a header, footer, page number, format, background, page frame, quotation, equation, cross reference, correction code, table of contents, paragraph, file path, bookmark, footnote, and sidenote.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the document text policy module sets a document text search policy based on at least one of a search word group, search word application method, keyword weight, and document threshold value.

5. A method of searching for a document based on a policy, comprising:

receiving at least one of a document format search policy and a text search policy from an administrator;

monitoring whether or not a new document is stored in a document database;

when the new document is stored, extracting document format information and text information from the new document and adding the extracted information to the document database; and

searching for a document having at least one of document format information and text information matching the search policy in the document database.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

providing a document search result obtained from the document database to the administrator.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the search policy is set by the administrator on the basis of document format information and text information extracted from a sample document.

8. The method of claim 5, wherein the document format search policy includes a search policy based on at least one of a header, footer, page number, format, background, page frame, quotation, equation, cross reference, correction code, table of contents, paragraph, file path, bookmark, footnote, and sidenote.

9. The method of claim 5, wherein the text search policy includes a search policy based on at least one of a search-word group, search-word application method, keyword weight, and document threshold value.
