I am looking for some software for unix to make some kind of on-line
litterature reference search system. I have a >30MB database, with the
full contents of a number of books.  For this i want a system that
sets up an index to every word in the books, and that let me search in
this to locate references from the books.
For example, if i put a search for "unix" and "pc", the program should
come up with a list of all logical units (paragraphs, chapters, or
something else) with these two words in (the same sentence, or near
each other). From this list i can narrow in further, or look at the
references, to finally get a printout.

Is such a program freely available somewhere?

Maybe there is some kind of bible lookup software that could suit my
purposes?
