Abstract

A search engine apparatus having a built-in functional test may include an input generator, a search engine, a pseudo search engine and a comparator. The inputs generator is suitable for generating outputs including commands and points associated with the commands. The search engine and the pseudo search engine are communicatively coupled to the inputs generator. The search engine suitable for performing search and edit operations and the pseudo search engine is suitable for simulating the search engine by generating pseudo search engine outputs. The comparator is communicatively coupled to the search engine and the pseudo search engine, and is suitable for comparing outputs received from the search engine and pseudo search engine.
