Without going in to hardware specific systems as another respondent did
(CD-ROM info), there are a few products on the market.
Such commercial systems as BRS handle the type of retrieval you discuss.
The system is expensive to use. If the text you are searching has already
been entered by someone on their system, though, it's cheaper than
putting it all in yourself. BRS, I believe, will sell you their software
to run on your machine. This is attractive if you have REALLY HIGH VOLUME.
Another product, ZyIndex, does similar work on PCs and (I think) maybe
Unix systems (at least there was talk of such). The cost on this product
is LOW! It can work with data stored on most disk media, and would probably
be well suited for WORM (Write Once Read Mostly) laserdisks.
Good Luck.
