DtSearch 7.70 Adds Document Filters, Increased Multi-Level Search

Enterprise-based searching always wants more. And dtSearch, a supplier of enterprise and developer text retrieval software, is offering more — with the recently announced version 7.70 of its product line.

The new release features enhanced document filters, and APIs for OEMs that provide data parsing, conversion and extraction.

Indexed Search In Under a Second

DtSearch, which began providing text retrieval in 1991, offers a product line of enterprise search and developer text search products.

The search products’ spider can search local/remote content and static/dynamic web content, and it can reach across public/private sites, including support for log-ins and forms-based authentication. More than a terabyte of text can be covered in a single index, including directories, databases, online data and emails, and an unlimited number of indexes can be created and searched. According to dtSearch, that indexed search time is under a second, even across terabytes.

The document filters have supported a wide range of file formats and data types. In addition to all office productivity documents (Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, RTF, PDF and others), major email formats, compression formats such as ZIP and RAR, and Web-ready data such as HTML and XML/XSL, the filters are also built for dynamic data, including PHP, ASP.NET and all major databases.

Increased Search Support for Multi-Level Documents

Version 7.70 extends that support to images in Word (.doc/.docx), Powerpoint (.ppt/.pptx), Excel (.xls/.xlsx), Access (.mdb/accdb), RTF, and email files such as Thunderbird (mbox/.eml) and Outlook (.pst/.msg). These formats are shown as highlighted hits in context, and there’s also support for documents created by the Japanese word processor, Ichitaro.

The new release also increases the product’s support for documents and images that reside in multi-level nested configurations. This means it can find and display images in an email file, for instance. The company said that it can also find and display images in a PowerPoint file that has been embedded in a Word document attached as a zipped file to an email.

For developers, a new “object extraction” API allows for navigation through an embedded object’s structure, as if it were a hierarchy, and for extraction o09:31:00f any object.

Document Mgt Roll-up: Google GSA 7.0 to Speed Up Doc Search, WatchDox Adds App for SharePoint

It may have been a holiday weekend, but it’s still busy in the document management world. Google has just released GSA 7.0, which makes document search and retrieval a lot easier, WatchDox has released a SharePoint application, Perceptive is offering an e-signing tool, and Central Desktop has introduced single sign-in.

Google GSA 7.0

Google was busy over the weekend — first thing Tuesday, it announced in its enterprise blog that it had launched Google Search Appliance 7.0 which it says will enable workers to find their documents and data in the blink of an eye.

In the post, Matthew Eichner said that Enterprise Search enables users to find content no matter where, or how, they are searching for it.

"Administrators can easily add content sources from secure storage, cloud services or the public web and social networking sites," he said. "GSA 7.0 also provides Google-quality search for SharePoint 2010, making for a more simple and intuitive, all-in-one search experience."

It also adds a whole pile of features that will specifically help with document-related tasks including:

• Document preview through thumbnails
• Google Translates will offer search results in more than 60 languages
• Updated language capabilities including parsing in Arabic, Japanese, and Korean
• A new interface for the GSA 7.0 release.

It also comes with better SharePoint support and will be generally available in the US on Oct. 16.

WatchDox for SharePoint

WatchDox was also busy with the extension of WatchDox to SharePoint, enabling users to make their SharePoint libraries mobile and collaborative across company boundaries.

WatchDox for SharePoint users can use their existing SharePoint rights to apply WatchDox’s existing security controls across their documents in SharePoint. When documents are downloaded or shared across mobile devices — or outside the company firewalls — the documents are still protected by the same safeguards as they have in the enterprise.

This release acknowledges the fact that more and more workers are looking to work outside the enterprise firewall. It is also a response to the growing use of SharePoint.

WatchDox is administered form the normal SharePoint interface, with functions like on-line viewing and check-in/check-out still applied in the same manner. The WatchDox security settings only kick in once someone tries to download the content to a mobile device, or when users start trying to share and collaborate. The bottom line, Watchdox says, is that there are no changes to the SharePoint user experience.

Perceptive’s New e-Signing

Meanwhile, Perceptive, which you may remember is the company that brought document management to Lexmark, has launched eAuthorize for electronic signatures.

The new signature tool, which is the result of a partnership with AssureSign, enables users to sign off on documents electronically, whether the user is using Perceptive software or other third-party software, and then upload the signed documents into Perceptive’s enterprise CMS.

Using RESTful Web services integration, it also enables users to sign off on documents even after the signing is initiated during a business process, using a Perceptive eForm, or again through a third-party application.

Once the document has been signed off, it and all other associated documents are collected into the content management application along with a full history of the document and document signings for archiving or compliance issues.
