Litigation Software dtSearch Demo

April 16, 2014

The dtSearch Desktop Demonstration Video on nlsblog.org shows how to setup and search with dtSearch for Windows. The 12 minute video begins with an introduction to dtSearch, which is able to “recognize text in over 200 common file types.” By indexing the locations of words in different files, dtSearch is able to build an almost limitless index of documents. The demo walks through the setup of dtSearch. After naming the index,

“It is important to keep in mind that when we add items here, dtSearch is not creating copies… but links to those files. A good practice is to put the files and folder that we want to run searches on into a single centralized location, before we create the index… all we need to do is add this discovery folder, and the subfolders and files will be automatically included…dtSearch reads the text in the linked files and creates a searchable words list.”

Then you are able to search which index to search through, and limit it to one case, or all cases. The word appears with a number, show how often it appears in the index. Then you can add the keyword to the search request to find the documents in which the word appears. You are able to preview a document, copy a file, and create a search report. The demo goes into great detail about all of the search options, and should certainly be viewed in full to learn the best methods, but it does not provide metrics for the time required to build the initial index or update it. These metrics are useful.

    Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so
    I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and
    say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well
    am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any helpful hints for rookie blog writers?
    I’d certainly appreciate it.

    Having read this I thought it was very enlightening.
    I appreciate you taking the time and energy to put this article together.
    I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time both reading and posting comments.

    But so what, it was still worth it!
