dtSearch Desktop with Spider
dtSearch
Desktop is a powerful and robust information retrieval
tool, having been in continous development since
1991. It enables you to search through terabytes
of text in under a second because it builds an
index that stores the location of the words in
your files.
dtSearch Desktop automatically recognises and
supports all
popular file formats and never alters or moves
your original files. You can choose to index drives
(including removable media), folders, files, Outlook
folders or use the built-in Spider to index Web
sites.
Uniquely
dtSearch Desktop can perform un-indexed as well
as "combination" searches to search
files that have not been indexed.
dtSearch
Desktop has dozens of advanced indexing options
to give you complete control over the content
of each index. It will automatically collect Meta
data from HTML, Word and PDF documents as well
as from media files such as MP3, ASF and WMV to
allow field searching.
Indexes can be automatically updated by using
the Windows Task Scheduler to reflect additions,
deletions and modifications to your document collection.
Search
dtSearch has over
25 indexed and unindexed text search options.
| Features
to assist in search formation include: |
|
Scrolling
word list gives
you instant feedback as you type in a search.
No more 'blind' searching! If the word isn't
in the word list - it isn't in your documents
- don't waste time searching for it! |
|
|
Browse
words... lets you see the effect on words retrieved with fuzzy,
phonic, stemming or wild card searching activated. |
|
|
Search
History lets you re-use previous search requests. |
|
|
Thesaurus lets you browse the built-in WordNet thesaurus
and selectively include words in your search
request. |
Display
After a search,
dtSearch will display a customisable list of all
the retrieved files. Simply click to sort (or
re-sort) the search results by relevancy, name,
date, location, or fields. A second window will
display the selected document with hits highlighted.
| Some
things you can do following a search: |
|
|
Use
multiple hit and file navigation options like
"next hit", "previous hit"
and "next document" to browse all
the retrieved files (word processor, database,
spreadsheet, e-mail, etc.) with highlighted
hits. |
|
|
Browse
HTML and PDF with highlighted hits as well
as embedded links and images intact. |
|
|
Automatically
un-ZIP and display files inside archives.
(PKZIP, WinZip, WinRAR, GZIP, and TAR compressed) |
|
|
See
a Search
Report (executive summary) of
your search results showing hits in context
(KWIC). |
|
|
Cut
and paste text, export
search results to another application. |
|
|
Launch
a file in its native application. |
A
built-in image viewer can also display popular
graphics formats (TIF, GIF, PCX, BMP, JPG, EPS,
etc.). Just click to switch from the text of a
file (myfile.doc) to images associated with that
file (myfile1.tif, myfile2.tif, myfile3.tif).
The image viewer also supports features such as
zoom, flip and invert.
