SearchInform is your power over information

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 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 technology is also protected by an 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 6 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 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 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).
