Breeze::OS©®

Breeze::OS©® is our Linux distribution for x86-based systems. Breeze::OS©®, see overview  was implemented with a new User Interface (UI) approach to folders and files, see marketing rationale,no start menu & no taskbar.

The Breeze::OS©® approach to file organization and storage, forgoes the notion of folders when retrieving files and instead uses the built-in search engine, see Tsert::Search©®.

Instead of looking for files in folders, you simply query the built-in search engine with keywords specifying the content to be found. The results of the search is displayed, as a list of files in which the specified keywords were found. You then only have to click on the appropriate file.

When saving a file, the system automatically indexes it, and performs a content analysis, with the NLP engine. Content search is made possible, because of that analysis. See some preliminary results with the following files.

The database approach that Microsoft and Apple were contemplating is too complex to be implemented in a reasonable amount of time.

It is too complex because of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) involved in saving the files. The approach is to split the file into pieces of specific content or information, and store these pieces in the database. This makes it easy to issue queries to retrieve all pieces which relate to a specific content, in whichever files those pieces were found. To retrieve a specific file, we simply issue a query on the index identifying the file, and the offsets of the pieces/chunks of information; then sort the offsets of the chunks to reconstitute the file.

The easy shortcut, which would be considered a kluge, is to plug the entire file into a blob, scan the file using a search-engine, and call the whole thing a database filesystem. They may want to license our NLP engine.
