SUBSTANCE: invention relates to processing natural language text and can be used to automate search of required documents in their large collection. Upon request, its content is processed on sentences. Sentences of the text array and the search request are compared pairwise and relevancy of each document of the text array to the request is calculated from the results based on sentences included in the document.
