Key Features

According to the vendor, TEXIS offers a versatile solution by fully integrating the structure of an SQL relational database (RDBMS). This integration allows businesses to address complex search requirements efficiently and effectively using the power and flexibility of SQL as the application development model.

The vendor claims that TEXIS enables enhanced natural language queries with its vocabulary of 250,000 word and phrase concept associations. This feature provides users with refined and accurate search results through excellent proximity control, fuzzy searches, true regular expression matching, and written numerical value searches.

TEXIS is said to be the only relational database that can store and search text documents of unlimited size within standard database tables. The vendor states that its full-featured scripting language empowers users to quickly build their own native or web-based applications, while the support for wildcards and phrases enhances search capabilities.

According to the vendor, TEXIS can be customized to function as a content management system, e-commerce platform, portal, or knowledge management system. This flexibility allows businesses to adapt the software to their specific needs and requirements.

TEXIS is designed to be easy to administer, providing a user-friendly interface for efficiently managing and maintaining the search engine software, as per the vendor's claims.

The vendor states that TEXIS has no inherent limit to the number of records or documents it can search, making it suitable for businesses dealing with extensive data sets.

TEXIS can index various document formats, including PDFs, word processing documents, graphics, music, newswire feeds, and email or discussion groups, according to the vendor. This comprehensive support allows for seamless search capabilities across different types of content.

According to the vendor, the TEXIS Categorizer, also known as a classifier, automatically attaches categories, subject codes, metadata, and more to documents or text records. It operates in manual, automatic, or mixed mode, providing sorting keys, menus for controlled vocabulary, and browsing options. The vendor claims that it is highly scalable and can classify tens of thousands of documents daily.

TEXIS Categorizer can be easily controlled through a web interface and interconnected with other information sources or repositories using standard data interchange mechanisms such as FTP, HTTP, ODBC, JDBC, and Perl DBI/DBD, according to the vendor. It seamlessly integrates with the database and search-engine features of TEXIS, simplifying the management of documents within a TEXIS SQL table.
