Announcing New dtSearch® Product Line Version
Release Enhances Indexing, Searching and Display of MS Word, Excel,
PowerPoint and Outlook; Also Adds An Additional Feature for Forensics
Usage
BETHESDA, MD (January 31, 2005) dtSearch Corp., a leading supplier of
enterprise, end-user and developer text retrieval software, announces
Version 6.5 of its dtSearch product line. dtSearch products instantly
search gigabytes of text across a desktop, network, Internet or
Intranet. dtSearch products also serve as tools to aid in publishing
large document collections to Web sites or to CD/DVD, with instant text
searching.
All dtSearch products share the same core search and display
functionality, including:
· over two dozen indexed, unindexed, full-text and fielded data search
options
· display of HTML, XML and PDF files with highlighted hits and with
embedded images, links and formatting intact
· built-in HTML converters for display of word processor, database,
spreadsheet, email, ZIP, Unicode, etc. files, with highlighted hits.
The new version enhances the HTML file converters for Microsoft Word,
Excel and PowerPoint. The new version also provides much faster
indexing of Outlook message stores and the full text of email
attachments (with highlighted hits, etc.). Finally, the new release
includes a new feature primarily for forensic usage of the dtSearch
product line.
dtSearch Web with Spider uses a wizard-based setup to publish a large
volume of instantly searchable content to an Internet or Intranet site.
The Spider adds remote Web site content to a locally searchable Web
database. The Spider can follow links vertically within a URL, or
horizontally across URLs, to any specified level of depth. The Spider
supports public sites, secure content HTTPS sites, password-accessible
sites, dynamic-content ASP/ASP.NET code, and forms-based
authentication.
dtSearch Web provides integrated relevancy-ranking and display of local
and spidered content, including WYSWYG display with highlighted hits of
Web-ready content (HTML, PDF and XML). The new improvements will
result in better hit-highlighted display of other documents (e.g. MS
Word, Excel and PowerPoint) that may reside both locally on a Web site
and in spidered data.
dtSearch Publish can quickly publishing an instantly searchable
document collection to CD or DVD, or mirror an existing Web site on CD
or DVD. dtSearch Publish generates CD/DVDs that contain a version of
dtSearch Web. The result is instantly searchable CD/DVDs that run with
zero footprint. Because dtSearch Publish uses dtSearch Web, the same
improvements in MS Office format displays that apply to dtSearch Web
also apply to dtSearch Publish.
dtSearch Desktop with Spider instantly searches popular file types on a
PC. dtSearch Network with Spider instantly searches across a network,
running in a client/server capacity. In both products, the spider can
add Web-based content to a local search, with integrated results
viewing (including highlighted hits). In addition to the improved
display of MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, the new approach to
Outlook files gives both products a substantial speed boost in indexing
Outlook message stores and attachments.
The dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine lets developers add dtSearch's
built-in file format support and searching to Web-based and other
applications. The dtSearch Engine comes in both a Linux version and a
Win & .NET version (including a native .NET API). The dtSearch Engine
support SQL, Delphi, Java, C++, C++.NET, C#, VB.NET and ASP.NET. The
new version offers significant improvements to the HTML converters
included with the dtSearch Engine with regard to handling of MS Office
file types.
The dtSearch product line offers over two dozen indexed, unindexed,
fielded and full-text search options. These include: fuzziness
adjustable from 0 to 10 (to sift through typographical and spelling
errors), synonym/concept/thesaurus, boolean (and/or/not), natural
language relevancy ranking (by hit term frequency, density and rarity),
positional scoring ranking, phrase, phonic, wildcard, bilateral
proximity, directed proximity, stemming, numeric range, user-defined
variable term weighting, and international language support through
Unicode.
Special forensically-oriented features include: (i) automatic parsing
of text segments in large data blocks, such as those recovered through
an "undelete" process, from unallocated computer space, or from
partially recovered file fragments; (ii) language recognition
algorithms for detecting text in a large variety of languages (Western
European, other European, Middle-Eastern, etc.); and (iii) a
proprietary filtering algorithm for scanning recovered data blocks
using multiple text encoding detection methods. The new release
extends the filtering algorithm to automatically recover text from
corrupt forensically-recovered documents.
Pricing is $199 for dtSearch Desktop with Spider, from $800 for
dtSearch Network with Spider, from $999 for dtSearch Web with Spider,
and from $2,500 for dtSearch Publish. dtSearch offers a variety of
royalty-based and royalty-free pricing options for the dtSearch Text
Retrieval Engine for Win & .NET and Linux.
