What does SearchBlox offer?
Fast Implementation
SearchBlox delivers out-of-the-box search capabilities that you can implement immediately. The software infrastructure like the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and the Application Server required to deploy SearchBlox is, in most cases, already available. You don't need to attend a 5-day course to help you implement SearchBlox. You don't even have to edit a properties file. All you need to know is to use a browser.
Flexibility
SearchBlox is 100% Java. This means SearchBlox will run on any hardware and operating system that supports Java. This gives you complete flexibility in the choice of hardware and operating system. Moreover, we have tested SearchBlox with all major Java Application Servers on a variety of platforms. So you have complete flexibility in choosing the Java Application Server as well. The platform independent REST API of SearchBlox allows integration with applications based on any platform and language.
Easy Integration
With SearchBlox, the search results can be completely customized to match the look-&-feel of your application. SearchBlox can even deliver search results as XML to be integrated with your application. The SearchBlox REST-API enables other applications to easily integrate SearchBlox to index and search custom content.
Zero Maintenance
SearchBlox has all the tools to simplify the regular management of the search engine. There is no need for you to manage SearchBlox on a day-to-day basis. Built-in Schedulers help you to automate all the regular maintenance tasks and take away the pain of managing a search engine.
High Performance
SearchBlox is designed from ground-up using well-proven and well-tested J2EE technologies. This makes SearchBlox a high performance and highly scalable search engine suitable for all kinds of applications, from web site search to enterprise search applications. Another reason for the high performance of SearchBlox is the use of Apache Lucene Text Search API as the indexing engine.
High Scalability
With the replication capability available in SearchBlox ENTERPRISE Edition, multiple instances of SearchBlox can be configured to provide horizontal scalability. The replication feature ensures that search indexes in all the SearchBlox instances are synchronized. New instances of SearchBlox can be easily and quickly added to the configuration to support growth in search traffic.
