Document Retrieval - is the process by which you can search and 'retrieve' an archived document from a database. This is done by entering information in a database query screen.

When the documents are captured, they must be indexed on the system. Indexing involves entering data onto an index page within the database, with references
unique to the specific documents, i.e. an Insurance policy holders name, their post code, the policy number, the policy type and the issued date. Future retrievals
could then be via any or a combination of these fields. The types of searches which may be performed include search by form and full-text retrieval. The later allows
every word associated to the document (without quantity or length restrictions) to be used as a search key.
