چکیده
Traditionally, people used to write by hand. Nowadays, people seldom write by hand, instead people write with computers. However, still there are many scopes to improve the writing environment because searching process is not seamlessly integrated with writing process. By regarding writing as a process of searching for words or expressions, it can be concluded that writing is, in a broad sense, a process of searching.

In this thesis, we realize input acceleration systems and proofreading systems through our three complete search systems: Namazu, Sary, andMigemo.
