Though last in the list, but far from being the last in efficiency the SearchInform full text search tool is presented by the SoftInform Company. SearchInform Desktop 1.5 indexed the 20 gigabytes of test data at a record time - within 3 hours and 17 minutes. By the way, the size of the resulting index was the smallest of all, 4.4 Gb.

The search engine from the SoftInform Company was developed on the basis of a patented technology «similar contents documents search» - SoftInform Search Technology. It incorporates all tools necessary for structuring disembodied information within the framework of an enterprise and is an efficient solution to any problems of searching and consolidating information.

The high indexing rate (up to 6 Gb/hour), the small size of the index (15-20% of the actual bulk of textual information), support of virtually all wide-spread text file formats (including .pdf and .html), as well as correct work with archives are delivered all in one package.

Once you consider a minor, but extremely useful feature of SearchInform – Smart Indexing that tracks in real time computer processor capacity and adjusts the level of system resources consumption in the process of indexing, SoftInform will bear the palm of supremacy by right, to say the least.

In addition, the process of indexing (unlike other information retrieval programs in the review) is very vivid and demonstrates not only the speed, but also the number of processed documents, as well as the number of unique words by which the search will be performed.

SearchInform Corporate has proven to be an incontestable leader in search speed as well. The 20 gigabytes appeared to be a piece of cake for the search engine, while it paused after the first query only (the rest of the search was completed in an instant). The relevance of search was irreproachable.

On top of it, SearchInform Corporate, developed on the basis of the unique technology SoftInform Search Technology, sports a highly interesting feature: search of documents with a content similar to query text. Thus there is no need to preliminarily select key words, the search is performed in the whole document. The search result is the display of documents that are most similar to the query text fragment, indicating relevance ratio.
