Can store Books Newspapers Encyclopedias etc. as full text.
Further we expect that text indices will be most popular way of browsing the 100,000 hours of expected digital video archives
Rather than keyword or abstract searches, search full text for say all newspaper articles with words Syracuse, Bargain Price, Twizzlers in same paragraph
Speed from local parallelism - InfoVision Servers will have 64 --> 1024 processors - each scans part of text
