Hi Everyone,

I was hoping you guys could assist me with a slight problem. I wanted to create an app that can search through a txt document and find related words according to your input.

Txt File Link: http://bit.ly/rMlU3G

I really have no idea how to start this project, or even how to sort it. If anyone would like to help me out or provide me with necessary links, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much :slight_smile:
