Enhydra Snapper - Fulltext Indexing and Search

This fulltext indexing and search engine application is designed to work on even millions of documents in unlimited different intranet / LAN "sites".

The included search client application is completely XML/XSLT based representing search and result pages as easily customizable XML/XSLT/HTML documents.

All common office file formats are supported by native Java file parsers: MS Office, Outlook, PDF, HTML, TXT, ZIP, tar.gz, PST, Pictures, scanned Images, etc. without the need of installing the corresponding tools on the server or the client.

Doument metadata from relational databases can be merged into the document index for even richer search details / result output.

Update of index data can of course be done incrementally.

Snapper offers a very flexible configuration of search sites and document formats / types / extensions.

Document Preview

The content of the documents can be previewed in HTML pages based on an XML/XSL/HTML transformation of the index data or on-the-fly from the stored files without having the corresponding tool (Office, etc.) installed and allows translation into different languages by integrating translation engines into the separate previewer application.

Enhydra Snapper and Previewer are ready-to-use application and also a nice bundle of technologies that can easily be integrated into other applications and environments.
