Announcing dtSearch® Product Line Release With New Terabyte Indexer

New Version Can Index Over a Terabyte of Text in a Single Index,
With Indexed Search Time Typically Under a Second

BETHESDA, MD (May 24, 2005) dtSearch Corp., a leading supplier of enterprise, end-user and developer text retrieval software, announces Version 7 of its product line.  The product line can now instantly search terabytes of text across a desktop, network, Internet or Intranet.  The release covers:  dtSearch Web with Spider, dtSearch Desktop with Spider, dtSearch Network with Spider, dtSearch Publish and the dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine.

Previously, the dtSearch index format could hold from 4-8 gigabytes of text per index.  The Version 7 index format can index over a terabyte of text in a single index.  Search time with over a terabyte of text is typically less than a second.  As with previous versions, a single search can span any number of indexes.

Product line overview.  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 (including attachments), ZIP, Unicode, etc. files, with highlighted hits.

The dtSearch Spider embedded in multiple dtSearch products provides integrated searching of remote Web site content, along with locally-available data.  In addition to support for the file formats above, the dtSearch Spider can also index and search dynamically-generated content, such as ASP/ASP.NET, MS CMS, MS Sharepoinet, etc.  

The Spider can follow links vertically within a web site, or horizontally across web sites, to any specified level of depth.  The Spider supports public sites, secure content HTTPS sites, password-accessible sites and forms-based authentication.  After a search, dtSearch provides integrated relevancy-ranking and other display of local and Spidered content, including WYSWYG display of Web-ready content with highlighted hits.

dtSearch Web quickly publishes a large volume of instantly searchable data to an Internet or Intranet site, with Spider functionality.  The dtSearch Engine lets developers add dtSearch’s built-in file format support and searching to Web-based and other applications.  The dtSearch Engine API support includes SQL, Delphi, Java, C++, C++.NET, C#, VB.NET and ASP.NET.  

dtSearch Desktop instantly searches popular file types on a PC, while dtSearch Network searches across a network, running in a client/server capacity.  dtSearch Publish can quickly publish an instantly searchable document collection to CD, DVD or similar media.   The product can also mirror an existing Web site on CD/DVD.   The resulting CD/DVD application can run without installing anything on the user’s hard disk.

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.); (iii) a proprietary filtering algorithm for scanning recovered data blocks using multiple text encoding detection methods; and (iv) automatic recovery of text from corrupt forensically-retrieved 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 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.
