Press Release Body = Search challenge
Major part of corporate information on the enterprise intranet is unstructured in
form of files, databases, archives etc. Information is contained in different
formats and different systems and also differs in the level of access to it. Such a
diverse and ever increasing data flow needs filtering and convenient structuring.
One of the key stages of complex process of forming information base is fast search
for relevant documents. The existent commercially recognized full text search
systems do not solve this problem to the full degree. If the search speed is
acceptable, then the quality leaves much to be desired. If the search is accurate
and adequate, then it usually consumes much time and machine resources, as
processing phrasal queries with thousands of unique words, tilling through dozens of
gigabytes of incoming correspondence, technical documentation, reports and other
information requires a lot of resources.

SoftInform Search Technology
The answer to this challenge is the unique SoftInform technology of search for
documents similar in their content to the query text. SoftInform Search Technology
is based on the mathematical model of analyzing the document structure and selecting
similar words, word combinations, sentences and text arrays. This full text search
technology is also protected by a valid Eurasian patent. SoftInform technology
distinguishing feature is fast speed of query processing, which enables retrieving
the necessary documents within seconds from any amount of unstructured data.
High indexing speed (up to 30 GB/h), compact index (15-20% from the actual size of
text information), support of practically all popular text file formats (including
.pdf and .html) and accurate work with archives make SearchInform an irreplaceable
information retrieval tool.
Enterprise-wide full text search solution on the basis of SoftInform Search
Technology will be highly beneficial in any knowledge base, analytical service or
large company support firm. Universality and effectiveness of the SoftInform full
text search technology enable solving a wide spectrum of information processing
problems such as information fuzziness (guarding against entering duplicate
documents into databases), document similarity analysis (report on similar documents
in the database) and fast search for thematically similar files (which ensures more
accurate similarity results than by customary phrasal search and saves time spent on
wording the query and viewing irrelevant documents).

SearchInform
SoftInform company offers several versions of software full text search applications
on the basis of SoftInform Search Technology, such as home user and small office
solution SoftInform Desktop Edition, as well as two versions for corporate clients
SoftInform Corporate Edition and SoftInform Corporate Edition Pro. The difference
between them is price and functionality.

SearchInform Corporate Edition is the network version of the full text search
application SearchInform meant for small and medium business. It comprises all the
tools necessary for structuring the information scattered on the LAN, and creating
the holistic system of fast full text search and further document processing.
SearchInform Corporate Edition functionality:
- indexing information on the LAN, creating and using network indices;
- fast and accurate full text search for documents of any formats (txt, doc, rtf,
pdf, htm, html);
- unique similar search technology;
- mounting various data sources (files on hard drive, databases, email messages);
- flexible integration into the existent information systems;
- 3-level control over user access to information (to indices, to data sources, to
indexed files);
- saving time on searching for documents and solving the problem of information
fuzziness.

Release of SearchInform search engine is not just another event in the company
record of service, which dates back to 1995 when the "Legal Database" information
system was developed. The unique search technology, in particular the patented
similarity search, opens up new opportunities in data processing and perspectives of
creating various systems on the basis of this technology. Document management
systems, integration into DBMS and archive systems, deploying various intellectual
Internet solutions and search engines become possible on the basis of the unique
search technology, - said the SoftInform company CEO Leo Matveev.

SearchInform is your power over information.
It's your opportunity to act while others are still searching.
