INDEXING is a term for procedures making complexities available in an easy useable way.

Background: Many (may be most) what is offered as "infiormation carrier" is not ready for instant / immediate use.

Consequence: W+D developes techniques making huge amounts of documents (or document collections) retrievable. Even millions of documents can be retrieved within seconds or minutes (depends on the instruments used).

Remark: W+D's techniques cover all elements of any document - not only what the users' eyes recognize. This is basis for forensic, security-related and other operations.
