Intranet Search

Searchable Fileservers

SearchBlox can make the fileserver fully searchable so that users can find those hard-to-find files quickly and easily. The SearchBlox Filesystem crawler can be scheduled to crawl fileservers on a regular basis so that new and modified files become searchable. SearchBlox will also automatically display files in the user’s browser when the user clicks on the search result.

Document De-duping

SearchBlox de-dupes documents during indexing so that only one copy of a document is indexed, even when the files are named differently. This ensures that duplicate search results are eliminated, even when multiple copies of the same document are encountered during the crawling process.

Fast Enterprise Deployment

As SearchBlox is fully web-based, users only need a browser to access and search on SearchBlox eliminating the need for any time-consuming installation of desktop software. This means that SearchBlox can be deployed to large number of users very quickly.

Organizational Flexibility

SearchBlox provides the flexibility to create index partitions to match organizational structures. Each department can have their own separate index for their default use. These departmental indexes can then be combined to create a global search for organization.

Unified Search

In addition to indexing filesystems, SearchBlox can index public websites, protected content from websites and feeds from Twitter, blogs etc. SearchBlox provides an unified search of all this indexed content, irrespective of where they were indexed from.

Document Highlighting

SearchBlox automatically highlights the user’s search query terms in HTML and PDF documents. Since intranets typically store large numbers of PDF and HTML documents, this is a huge timesaver as users do not have to read through large documents to find the relevant content.

Indexing API

SearchBlox provides an indexing API for integration with other systems such as Workflow applications and Case Management Systems. The API allows documents to be indexed with new enriched metadata, even overriding existing metadata. With the use of the API, SearchBlox can be used to build real-time search applications.
