The Problem:
If you search the Web for a discussion on the searching of structured (databases) and unstructured enterprise information (files, i.e., web pages, e-mails, memos, knowledgebases, news, reports, letters, white papers, marketing material, research, presentations), you will find at least two consistent themes:
1) About 80% of an enterprise’s information is found in unstructured form, and the remaining 20% is housed in databases;
2) Almost all Web “site searches”, whether Internet or Intranet, barely ‘scratch the surface’ of an enterprise’s information, normally returning Web pages and perhaps PDFs, thereby leaving most enterprise information untouched and untapped.
Seldom do searchers have access to the necessary breadth and depth of enterprise information and, if they do, rarely are unified, all-encompassing results returned.
The Cybergroup Product Solution:
To date, most organizations have purchased different products to address what they perceive as different searching needs. One product may be deployed to address searching of unstructured information (files) and another product to address structured information (databases). With a bit of persistence the searcher can initiate multiple searches and perhaps retrieve a representative – albeit disjointed -- amount of corporate information.
Now, with Cybergroup’s ThoroughSearchTM, you can offer your Internet or Intranet searchers a single, unified, all-encompassing search of your organization’s structured and unstructured information. Significantly, on the database-side, you can incorporate multiple databases of different types into a single search!
In addition to ThoroughSearch, our turn-key search solution, we have developed a series of 'companion' products to enhance dtSearch, the most powerful search engine on the market. The dtSearch product line can instantly search terabytes of text across a desktop, a network, the Internet or an Intranet site. dtSearch products also serve as tools for publishing, with instant text searching of large document collections from Web sites to CD/DVDs.
If you choose not to pursue a turn-key approach and are developing a dtSearch Web application yourself, our tools can significantly reduce the development time needed to develop your custom solution.
