Word Index Builder creates word map (index) for text. Being built only once, such index allows to perform very quick search for given pattern by exact or approximate matching. Approximate (fuzzy) search implies, that target string differs from pattern in given number of positions. This number is configurable. Such way of search allows to find misspelled words, or words having unknown spelling.

This tool becomes especially effective when search is being performed multiple times for numerous patterns in the same text. One-time preprocessing takes time proportional to text length. After that, all consequent searches are pretty fast. Word index can be saved to file and then loaded. Search results are being shown in a convenient form of tree, where upper level displays found case, and underlying level shows all contexts of this case. So you see the result as a concordance (special form of dictionary , containing citations of the passages in which the words occur). Ellipsis button next to each node of the tree allows to jump to the found position in original text, displayed in the right pane.

Source data for Word Index Builder is plain text, which can be loaded either from file or from clipboard. The program does not affect source document in any way. Saved index file includes a local copy of the source text.

If you're in code-writing business, have you noticed, almost half of our time is spent on formatting and transforming text each day, be it code, design or report?

It contains three major parts - (1) Work Space, (2) FTP, (3) Text conversion, all seamlessly integrated, purpose of which is to aid developers, IT professionals and technical writers in their everyday work whenever it involves creating or re-using text of any form.

+ Work Space allows to work on a project as if you are working on MSDev, plus many more handy features that you always wish for in everyday work as a technical person. It works as a complement to any modern editor.

+ FTP is built-in with Work Space if you need to work on a set of remote files. Nothing out there as good as TextMaestro that allows you to work on files from multiple remote systems simultaneously.

Each scheme can operate using libraries, one of the most powerful concepts in text conversion.
