Release Adds New Language Analyzer Developer API; More User-Friendly “Zero Footprint” CD/DVD Publishing; More Efficient Multi-Threaded Searching of Large Data Sets on High Traffic Web Sites BETHESDA, MD (December 2, 2003) dtSearch Corp., a leading supplier
of enterprise, end-user and developer text retrieval software, announces Version 6.3 of its dtSearch® product line. dtSearch products instantly search gigabytes (and more) of text across a desktop, network, Internet or Intranet. dtSearch products also serve
as tools for publishing, with instant text searching, large document collections to Web sites or to CD/DVD. The new release includes some major enhancements to dtSearch’s enterprise and developer-oriented products, with minor enhancements to dtSearch’s desktop
and network products. All dtSearch products share the same core search and display functionality, including: · over two dozen indexed, unindexed, full-text and fielded data search options, with most searches taking less than a second, even across very large
databases; · “WYSWYG” display of HTML, XML and PDF files with highlighted hits, as well as embedded images, links and formatting intact; and · built-in HTML converters for display of word processor, database, spreadsheet, email, ZIP, Unicode, etc. files, with
highlighted hits. dtSearch Web with Spider uses a wizard-based setup to publish a large volume of instantly searchable content to the Web. The Spider can add remote Web site content to the locally searchable database, with integrated relevancy ranking of search
results and hit-highlighted WYSWYG page displays. The Spider supports public sites, secure content HTTPS sites, password-accessible sites, and dynamic-content ASP/ASP.NET code. The new version of dtSearch Web with Spider uses more efficient multi-threaded
algorithms for even faster searching (generally at the sub-second level) on sites with a large volume of concurrent searching across very large data sets. The optimized algorithms encompass searching of both “local” content as well as Spidered data. dtSearch
Publish enables quick publishing of an instantly searchable document collection to CD or DVD. dtSearch Publish also works with dtSearch Web to provide easy mirroring of an existing Web site on CD or DVD. For end-users, the CD or DVD operates with zero footprint,
requiring no installation on the user’s hard drive. The new version of dtSearch Publish enhances the zero footprint CD/DVD operation, including a streamlined user interface. The user interface can operate “out of the box” as a default installation for CD/DVD
publishing. Alternatively, the dtSearch Publish wizard provides multiple customization options (no programming required). The dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine, with Win & .NET and Linux versions, lets developers add dtSearch’s searching and built-in file format
support to Web-based and other applications. The dtSearch Engine supports SQL, Delphi, Java, C++, C++.NET, C#, VB.NET, and ASP.NET. The new version adds a Language Analyzer API for integrating third-party morphological analyzers and dictionary-based word breakers
into the dtSearch Engine indexing process. The new API works in conjunction with dtSearch’s existing international language support, including Unicode support for all character sets supported by the Unicode standard. International language support also includes
forensically-oriented auto-detection of language groups (Western European, Eastern European, Middle-Eastern, etc.). For European languages, dtSearch’s UK distributor (www.dtsearch.co.uk) offers a Language Extension Pack, with pre-packaged sets of noise word
lists and stemming rules (to find linguistically related words, such as in English learn, learned, learns, learning, etc.) for a dozen European languages. The dtSearch product line generally offers over two dozen indexed, unindexed, fielded and full-text search
options, including: fuzziness adjustable from 0 to 10 (to sift through typographical and spelling errors), synonym/concept/thesaurus, boolean (and/or/not), natural language relevancy ranking, phrase, phonic, wildcard, bilateral proximity, stemming, numeric
range, and variable term weighting. Version 6.3 adds directed proximity searching to the list of supported search types. The new search feature applies to dtSearch Desktop with Spider and dtSearch Network with Spider, as well as to dtSearch’s developer-oriented
products. 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. For more information, or to download fully-functional evaluation versions of any product, please call 1-800-IT-FINDS (or 301/263-0731), email sales@dtsearch.com or visit www.dtsearch.com. # #
