Template:Correct title Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template other Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". Template:Text is a free software indexing and searching system created in 1995 by Andrew Scherpbier while he was employed at San Diego State University.[1][2] It can provide a search engine for a single website.

It includes three groups of files: a set of tools for indexing, a set of tools for searching, and a set of HTML files for building the user interface to access the search engine.[3] Template:Text works differently from most search engines as most engines use a two-step process, building an index and searching it. Template:Text indexes pages in full, then processes the pages into a searchable form later using soundex and metaphone.[4] Template:Text also stores fuzzy match information instead of using a dynamic algorithm.[5] At one time, over 500 organizations used Template:Text to index sites they owned. Notable sites included Blizzard Entertainment, Greenpeace, and The Mozilla Foundation.[6]
