Today, the majority of resources are available in d igital forms to acquire information. We have to search through collections f documents. In this paper text indexing which can improve searching is de cribed. Next, indexing tool, the Agrotagger, which is useful for documents i the field of agriculture, is presented. Two available versions of the Agrotag ger are tested and discussed. The Agrotagger is useful only for the En glish language despite the fact that it uses multilingual thesaurus Agrovoc. B ecause of the Agrotagger is not useful for texts in Polish, it is important to create similar tool appropriate for the Polish language. The problems connected wit h ex ensive inflection in languages such as Polish language in the process of indexing were discussed. In the final part of the paper, it is presented des ign and implementation of a system, based on the Polish language dictionary and the Agrovoc. Additionally some tests of implemented system are d iscussed.
