Dieselpoint 3.5 Available

May 7, 2010

Dieselpoint keeps a low profile. The company has an interesting technology and a year or so ago made a run at capturing some open source goodness. The company offers a search system that supports XML content, PDF files, structured data for eCommerce and business intelligence, and OEM search applications. Dieselpoint is written in Java and can run on most platforms.

Dieselpoint Search Version 3.5 Released – All-Java Enterprise Search Software Adds New Features” describes the new release this way:

For those who track the search software industry, Dieselpoint Search is widely regarded as the most sophisticated solution on the market for applications that require full-text, navigational, and parametric search.

Okay. I think Dieselpoint is a capable product, and you can see it in action at http://hmv.com/hmvweb/home.do. HMV is a large music retailer in the UK. A number of companies offer content technology as good as or better than Dieselpoint’s, the description in Lifestyle notwithstanding. I include Dieselpoint in my free Overflight service which you can check out here. You can easily compare the buzz for different vendors’ systems with a mouse click or two. The number of articles about a vendor in an Overflight provides a rough indication of the uptake about a particular company. Google, for example, warrants an Exalead search service plus five separate Overflights.

Lifestyle’s writer may find the Overflight service helpful when suggesting that “those who track the search software industry” will know that a particular product is “widely regarded as the most sophisticated solution on the market”. For a comparison test, check out Autonomy and Mark Logic on Overflight. I find the coverage comparison interesting and possibly suggestive.

    Oops — Steve, you must have come across one of our very old press releases. Version 3.5 was released some years ago. I haven’t the faintest idea where that website found that release.

    We’re on the 4.x series now. We plan to have a somewhat higher profile later this year, so stay tuned.
