ISYS Search Software

Established in 1988, ISYS Search Software is a global supplier of enterprise search solutions for business and government. The company’s award-winning software suite offers a broad range of products designed for searching desktops, networks, websites, intranets and custom applications. ISYS has been deployed by thousands of organizations operating in a variety of industries, including government, legal, law enforcement, financial services, healthcare and recruitment.

ISYS is headquartered in Sydney and serves its global base of customers via operations in the United States and the United Kingdom. The company’s customers include Australia.com, QANTAS, the Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel, EMC Legato, TOWER Software, the US Department of Homeland Security and the US Department of Justice. The company’s core products include:

- ISYS:web 7 provides enterprise search in a web-based environment to enable search across public websites, corporate intranets, portals and custom web applications.

- ISYS:desktop 7 is a robust, flexible desktop search application that can be used on a single PC to search email and personal documents, or managed centrally to unlock search across thousands of PCs and enterprise-wide LANs and WANs.

- ISYS:sdk 7 enables OEMs, system integrators and others to embed search technology into their custom applications.

Whether it be ISYS:web 7 on a corporate intranet, ISYS:desktop 7 across a local-area network or another one of ISYS' search tools, ISYS products ship with a core set of out-of-the-box features designed to guide users through the search process quickly and easily. These features include:

- Multiple Query Methods. ISYS takes into account that not everyone is a search expert, and therefore offers three query methods. Command Line Query enables advanced users to construct Boolean, proximity and fielded searches; Menu-Assisted Query offers intermediate users the same functionality in a more user-friendly environment; Fielded Query enables users to search structured information, such as metadata and database fields; Browse Taxonomy offers users the ability to search via navigation; Web Style Query enables users to search their data in the same way they would search the Internet; and Natural Language Query provides users the means to phrase their searches in the form of a question.

- Relevance Algorithm. All of the ISYS search engine products incorporate the proprietary ISYS relevance algorithm. This determines the most relevant documents in the result set, and returns these at the top of the results list.

- On-The-Fly Categorization. Quickly sift and sort through your results by using ISYS' On-The-Fly Categorization feature. ISYS automatically builds the categories according to variables such as file path and metadata information. Administrators can customize this structure to address specific categorization requirements.

- Hit Highlighting and Hit-To-Hit Navigation. Search tools, no matter how advanced, are useless without the ability to take users directly to the relevant portions of the document. ISYS employs Hit Highlighting and Hit-To-Hit Navigation to enable users to quickly locate and jump between search results.

- Quick View. For large files, ISYS offers its Quick View feature, which provides users with a context extract of the relevant portions of a document, rather than having to load and browse the entire file.

- Linguistic Handling. ISYS offers a variety of linguistic capabilities designed to account for misspellings, tense conflation, plurals and synonyms. With these features enabled, an ISYS search for ‘manage’ will return results for ‘manages’, ‘management’, ‘manager’, ‘deal’ and ‘cope’ – even if the user misspells 'manage'.

- 140 File Formats, 30 Languages. ISYS offers broad file format and foreign language support to provide users with a truly comprehensive search solution. Supported file formats include Microsoft Office documents, WordPerfect, emails, attachments, PDFs, XML, databases and more. ISYS’ foreign language support includes Chinese (traditional and simplified), Japanese and Korean, and Unicode for multi-language indexes.

- Highly Scalable and Extensible. The ISYS 7 suite scales to 64 million documents per index. An unlimited number of indexes can be created, and 128 indexes can be chained together to enable users to search across a theoretical maximum of more than 8 billion documents with a single query. ISYS also provides scripting tools to make its products more extensible. Use these tools to connect ISYS to uncommon formats and systems, or to inject metadata for greater structure of content.
