"TEXTRACT" HIGH SPEED TEXT SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
Analytics, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability and full technical
support of Textract, a hardware-based full text search and retrieval
engine. Textract allows very high speed search and retrieval of ASCII
data stored in any format.
The user can query up to 100 information files at once, with natural
English language words and phrases, using up to 256 unique terms. Both
search time and data file size are decreased by Textract's ability to
encode and compress data.
The Textract engine is capable of searching at speeds of 8 Megabytes per
second, although the effective search speed is limited by bus and disk
data transfer rates on host systems. Textract currently runs on DEC
MicroVAX II's under VMS, Sun 3 & 4 under SunOS3.5 and SunOS4.0, and Gould
PowerNode platforms under UTX/32 R2.1. Prices vary depending on host
computer.
Features include:
-English language query with full Boolean logic operators
-Single and multicharacter wild cards.
-Numerical ranging
-Vocabulary and Thesaurus lookup
-Order or unordered terms
-Word proximity
-ANSI terminal based menu interface
-Complete "C" libraries for customization
-Full Sun networking support including the use of NFS and the
capability to use boards physically located on another machine
if your local boards are busy.
