Systems and methods utilizing a search engine
First Claim
1. A handheld device comprising:
- a memory; and
a search engine that is stored on the memory;
wherein the search engine is operative to use a search request from a user of the handheld device to search an index;
wherein the index comprises a non-binary numeric code that includes grammar embedded rules, the device further comprising;
a RealTime Search component that receives the search request, converts the search request into a numeric code corresponding to the numeric code of said index, and compares the numeric code of the converted search request with the index to form search results; and
wherein the conversion of the search request is implemented by a transform function which utilizes mathematical relations and grammatically-controlled numeric pattern matches between search terms.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention form an information set from the current set of index information available by the operations of the Pre-Search and RunTime Search components of the search engine. A search request that contains search terms and/or other search criteria (e.g. date or file type) is entered by a user through an input interface. The search terms and the information set are worked through the search engine modules to provide the actual results sought by the user. These results are provided to the user via a Return Interface. Embodiments involve a search engine that forms a numeric code index that includes grammar embedded rules from a plurality of documents, converts a search request into the same format as the index, and then compares the index and the search request to form the search results.
