What’s new with dtSearch?
January 11, 2011
Content processing vendors are constantly vying for a larger slice of the market they inhabit. New versions of existing software, the updating of specific features as well as the ability to remain agile as companies merge or are aggressively consumed remain vital to any firm or product’s survival. dtSearch, the Maryland based tech merchant is no exception.
Their brand boasts fifteen search options in a new rundown posted to the site. These include the Natural language type, which allows users to enter an unstructured search request in any international language, or Phrase and Phonic search choices. Other alternatives are multiple Proximity, Numeric and Wildcard, which allows “?” to hold a single letter place, and “*” to hold multiple letter places. In my opinion one of the most interesting capabilities was an aspect called Fuzzy Searching, an option that uses a proprietary algorithm to successfully execute the command despite misspelled terms. Fuzzy Searching also “adjusts from 0 to 10 so you can fine-tune fuzziness to the level of OCR or typographical errors in your files.”
The end of the summer saw the release of two versions of dtSearch 7.65 (Builds 7906 and 7907) which resolved minor bugs with the indexing facets of the software as well as reducing memory requirements for parsing large XLS files. The dtSearch line of products fill many consumer needs and continue to hone said line to offer high quality at competitive pricing.
