-
- Long Description:
- ----------------
-
- dtSearch 2.0 for DOS and Windows
-
- Document Search and Retrieval Software
-
- "This program provides more strategies for text search than
- most people will ever likely need . . . . A comprehensive
- search utility, dtSearch is well worth a look."
- --PC Sources, January 1992
-
- "dtSearch is a fast, powerful, text file indexing program
- for document search and retrieval."
- --Database, December 1992
-
- "dtSearch is a surprisingly thorough and easy to use, menu
- driven program . . . . Documentation is clear and concise.
- . . . Overall, this is an excellent program."
- --Online Today, March 1992
-
- "A powerful and cost-effective route to text retrieval."
- --PC Magazine (UK), July 1992
-
- The purpose of dtSearch is to help you quickly find documents on
- your PC or on a network. dtSearch does this by building an index
- that stores the location of the words in your documents. Once
- dtSearch has built an index, searches take just a few seconds.
- Since you will sometimes want to search documents that have not
- been indexed, dtSearch can also search without an index or do
- "combination" searches.
-
- Searching Capabilities
-
- dtSearch can perform the following types of indexed, unindexed
- and combination searches:
-
- ∙ Boolean searches (AND, OR, NOT)
- ∙ word or phrase searches (apple sauce or chocolate cake)
- ∙ wildcard searches (appl* and sauc?)
- ∙ proximity searches (appl* w/5 pear)
- ∙ segment searches (@ADDRESS contains Oak Drive)
- ∙ file name searches (xname smith*.doc)
- ∙ file date searches (xdate after Jan 11, 1993)
- ∙ and more
-
- With a single search, a user can scan:
-
- ∙ multiple directories
- ∙ multiple disk drives
-
-
-
- dtSearch Program Description Page 3
-
-
-
- ∙ multiple document indexes
- ∙ documents and indexes stored on a local area network
-
- Indexing Capabilities
-
- An index can contain up to 15,000 documents, and you can create
- as many indexes as you want.
-
- For more advanced users, dtSearch offers:
-
- ∙ batch mode indexing and searching (DOS version only)
- ∙ case and accent sensitive indexing
- ∙ archive indexing
- ∙ alphabet customization
-
- Other Features
-
- After a search, dtSearch allows you to:
-
- ∙ sort search results by name, date, or number of hits
-
- ∙ generate a search report listing all hits found with a few
- lines of context
-
- ∙ view search results and retrieved documents in multiple,
- overlapping windows
-
- ∙ find hits or other text in retrieved documents
-
- ∙ cut and paste text into a built-in notepad editor
-
- ∙ edit a retrieved document using your word processor from
- within dtSearch
-
- ∙ print search results, search reports and retrieved documents
-
- Ease of Use
-
- Most importantly, dtSearch is easy to use.
-
- ∙ Pull-down menus and extensive context-sensitive help guide
- you through every step.
-
- ∙ dtSearch requires no "importing" or "conversion" of your
- documents and does not even need to be told what word
- processor you are using.
-
- ∙ dtSearch offers full mouse support.
