dtSearch's proprietary indexing and searching algorithms allow for fast indexing and searching performance even over extremely large databases and other diverse collections of documents. The algorithms are engineered to maintain consistent indexing speeds regardless of the size of the document set. Indexed search speed is generally less than a second, even through multiple terabytes of text. dtSearch products also provide unindexed search options.
The dtSearch product line was developed to make efficient use of system resources under the Windows platform. Because dtSearch was designed to use limited system resources without compromising performance or searching capabilities, it is ideal for a wide range of environments -- ranging from high-traffic Web sites on multi-processor servers to handheld Windows CE devices -- where efficient use of memory is critical. (Version 7.0 also contains a Linux version of the dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine.)
dtSearch has over two dozen text search options, producing a combination unparalleled for intelligent searching. In addition to basic search options such as * boolean (and/or/not), * proximity, * wildcard, * segment, * numeric range, and * phonic, the dtSearch product line has the following special search capabilities:
Fuzzy Searching: dtSearch's proprietary fuzzy searching uses a unique algorithm to find search terms even if they are misspelled. Search fuzziness adjusts from 0 to 10 to correspond to the level of typographical or OCR errors in files. With a fuzziness level of 1, a search for "alphabet" would find "alphaqet." With a fuzziness level of 3, a search for "alphabet" would find not only "alphaqet" but also "alpkaqet." Note: fuzziness is not hardwired into the index, so the same index can handle both fuzzy and non-fuzzy searches. (Unindexed searches can also be fuzzy)
Concept/Synonym/Thesaurus Searching: dtSearch can perform automatic query expansion using a comprehensive semantic network of the English language with variable levels of expansion (user-defined synonyms, built-in synonyms, or built-in synonyms + related words).
Relevancy-Ranked Natural Language Searching: Natural language searches, also known as query-by-example, look for all words in a search request and return results based on automatic term weighting. Using the "Vector Space" method, dtSearch's relevancy ranking takes into account the frequency of hits, relative frequency of the search terms in the index, and hit density in retrieved documents.
Variable Term Weighting: dtSearch provides not only the automatic relevancy ranking in a natural language search request, but also the ability to specify relative weights. These weights can be positive or negative. For example, a user might assign a positive weight of 3 to the word "green" and a negative weight of five to the word "orange."
Field Searching: dtSearch automatically recognizes and indexes fielded data in such file formats as MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, PDF and XML, making these fields separately searchable by field name (as well as accessible for full-text searching). Version 7.0 adds support for searching based on nested field criteria in XML documents.
Unicode Support: Version 7.0 adds Unicode support, which expands supported character sets to include Chinese and Japanese, while enhancing support for European language character sets.
dtSearch's search algorithms uniquely allow dtSearch to seemlessly handle multiple levels of search complexity. For example, a single search request can contain multiple levels of boolean, proximity, fuzzy, synonym, phonic, numeric range, etc., elements.
The dtSearch product line includes built-in file parsers that can index, search and display with "hit" highlighting a wide range of file types. Supported file types for the dtSearch product line include word processor, spreadsheet, database, RTF, PowerPoint, email message stores, ZIP, PDF, HTML and XML. Support includes Office 2000 files, as well as many legacy file types.
The dtSearch product line can display a retrieved Web page (HTML or PDF) with all embedded links and images intact. For Web use, the dtSearch product line also has "on-the-fly" Web conversion to HTML for documents in supported non-HTML formats, including "hit" highlighting.
Version 7.0 of the dtSearch product line also includes a Web spider for retrieving remote Web pages. The spider can index and search remote Web pages to any specified level of depth. dtSearch can then display Web pages retrieved in a search with highlighted "hits" and all embedded links and images intact.
What's New in dtSearch V7.5x?
New 64-bit version: The new release includes a native 64-bit version of the dtSearch Engine for Win & .NET (for .NET 2.0/3.0) for developers to integrate into web-based and other applications. The 64-bit version provides full API access to dtSearch's terabyte indexer and search functionality, file format and database support (including SQL BLOB data).
International language enhancements: dtSearch products include international language support through Unicode, covering hundreds of international languages. The new version adds improved searching of Chinese, Japanese and Korean text presented without spaces between words. The new version also offers improved developer API integration with third-party international language morphological analyzers like those from Basis Technology
What's New in dtSearch V7.43?
Fixed bug in PDF file parser affecting decoding of CID fonts in PDF files
Fixed error extracting item from TAR file to hit-highlight after search
Added detection of the following file types with missing or incorrect filename extensions: Microsoft Word 2003 XML files, Microsoft Excel 2003 XML files.

What's New in dtSearch V7.40?
Automatic recognition of dates, email addresses, and credit card numbers in text
Support for Vista XMP metadata
Support for PowerPoint 2007 (*.pptx). (The product line already supports Word 2007 (*.docx) and Excel 2007 (*.xlsx))
Support for Vista XML Paper Specification (*.xps) documents
A new IndexCache object in the .NET 2.0 API, and dtsIndexCache object in the C++ API of the dtSearch Engine. The new objects enable much faster searching when a series of searches must be done against a small number of indexes
What's New in dtSearch V7.30?
Enhancements (All products)
Added preliminary support for Word 2007 (*.docx) and Excel 2007 (*.xlsx) based on the current Office 2007 beta and available documentation.
Added support for JPG and TIFF metadata, including EXIF and IPTC fields.
Unicode filtering file parser can handle individual documents larger than 2 Gb, and support for files larger than 2 Gb added to the extext.exe utility
Improved handling of partially inaccessible email files. In previous versions, if an email had encrypted or corrupt data (for example, an encrypted attachment), the whole email was reported as encrypted or corrupt. In this version, the readable portion of the message is indexed and the unreadable portion is separately reported as a partially encrypted or partially unreadable file. This change applies to Outlook messages, TNEF files, .eml files, MBOX archives, and .msg files.
Enhancements (dtSearch Engine)
Beta x64 (64-bit) versions of the dtSearch Indexer and dtSearch Engine (dtIndexer64.exe, dtengine64.dll, and dtSearchNetApi2.dll. The index format and APIs (C++, COM, and .NET) are identical to the 32-bit version. The 64-bit components are in a separate download file (dtSearch64_730.exe) with the same installation password as the dtSearch Engine SDK.
Added alternative PDF highlighting mechanism for client-based applications (see "Highlighting Hits in PDF files" in the API Overviews section for details)
Added ListIndexJob object to the .NET 2.0 API to list files, words, or fields in an index (see dtSearchNetApi2.chm for API reference)
Added dtsListIndexIncludeDocId flag for dtsListIndexJob and ListIndexJob to provide a quick way to list all documents in an index and the doc id for each document
C++ API Changes to support 64-bit file sizes in dtsInputStream (added size64 and seek64), dtsInputStreamReader, dtsFileInfo (added size64), dtsSearchResultsItem (added size64). These changes preserve binary compatibility for the dtSearch Engine DLL, but some C++ code may trigger new warnings when compiled because of 64-bit values returned.
Added dtsIndexKeepExistingDocIds flag to specify that, when compressing an index, the indexer should not remap document ids, so document ids will be unmodified in the index once compression is done.
Fixes and minor enhancements
What's New in dtSearch V7.20?
New file parsers for OpenOffice documents, spreadsheets, and presentations (*.sxw, *.sxc, *.odt, *.ods, etc.), covering OpenOffice version 1 and OpenOffice version 2 (the "Open Document Format for Office Applications")
