  There is a 'FreeText' indexer and browsing application out
  there (for Unix and Mac), written by Mark Zimmerman (who used
  to sign himself ^Z), that stores the context, i.e. some pre-
  selected number of characters worth before and after each
  instance of a keyword.

  It generated indexes that were roughly the size of the data
  itself. The Macintosh browser (later implemented as XCMD in
  the "Texas" HyperCard stack) was blindingly fast, however.
  It should be available in all Info-Mac archives and ought to
  contain info of the whereabouts of the Unix indexer (I'm not
  sure if there ever was a browser for Unix, but, presumably,
  once the data are there.....)
