We present a fast compression and decompression technique for natural language texts. The novelty is that the exact search can be done on the compressed text directly, using any known sequential pattern matching algorithm. Approximate search can also be done ee-ciently without any decoding. The compression scheme uses a semi-static word-based modeling and a Huu-man coding where the coding alpha...
