The Corporate Database Search Engine

Right information, Right now.

True competitive advantage in today’s high performance business applications often depends on the ability to instantly access increasingly content-rich data. Yet, many companies are still struggling to unlock the exact data needed to run today’s mission-critical and decision support applications in the timeframe needed to realize their full profit potential. All too familiar? OMNIDEX can help you make insufficient information access an obsolete barrier.

OMNIDEX is a highly scaleable database search engine that provides instant access to content rich data across the enterprise. It delivers advanced indexing and sophisticated textual search techniques normally found only in stand-alone document management systems. OMNIDEX software is unique because it imports these highly developed capabilities directly into your existing databases. Our multi-dimensional search technology combines advanced data access used in decision support systems and optimized precision text search capabilities to provide immediate, unlimited data access. These two powerful data access technologies ensure OMNIDEX can solve your textual search and data retrieval needs – for every customer, department, application, and business decision your database supports.

OMNIDEX is a middleware solution that introduces remarkable data agility by operating between your existing database and related applications. Our technology complements the underlying database’s access methods by providing advanced access to data not provided in Relational, XML, HTML, ASCII documents and flat file systems. OMNIDEX indexes provide highly advanced access to information with instant delivery to your users (speeds up to 500 million records per second). OMNIDEX delivers indexing capabilities in both structured and unstructured database and document formats - bringing previously embedded information straight to your fingertips.

Optimal search technique depends heavily on the user and the application. OMNIDEX offers an impressive array of effective search capabilities perfectly suited to Content Rich Data Applications. A keyword can actually be any word or value in a column or file, often surrounded by spaces or punctuation. OMNIDEX indexes each individual keyword as it’s own entity for instant retrieval. Keyword searches are very powerful and ideally suited for content rich data because they allow users to find records using a wide range of user-defined lookup capabilities. OMNIDEX will provide applications with keyword query capabilities that allow users to find information instantly by criteria located anywhere within a data record, any combination of multiple fields or columns – even free-form text.

OMNIDEX has a full complement of supplemental search capabilities needed for Content Rich Applications. All are designed to support the user’s most sophisticated retrieval needs with the greatest flexibility and ease of use available on the market.

• PROXIMITY SEARCHES support a flexible array of keyword searches in proximity to each other including Phrase Searches, Before Searches, and Near Searches. Users can find keywords in a particular order, or words that are located within a certain number of words of each other.
• PHONETIC SEARCHES find data based on words that are phonetically similar to the search criteria, often best used for names. OMNIDEX provides Soundex, Metaphone and Double Metaphone Style algorithms that perform phonetic searches on chosen keywords.
• STEM and FORM SEARCHES differentiate the word down to the stem or form and will search for all the different variations. OMNIDEX can automatically locate records by keywords that have different noun plurals and verb tenses.
• SYNONYM SEARCHES locate keyword matches using related synonyms through a Thesaurus or Managed Synonym Lists, allowing flexibility in locating entries. Managed Synonym Lists are based on subject matter and customizable to meet specific industry needs.
• RELEVANCY RETRIEVING AND RANKING qualifies a large selection of rows and prioritizes in order of defined keyword frequency and proximity.
• SPELLING OPTIONS are available to automatically correct criteria with spelling errors or locating data that is misspelled.
• SEARCH LOGIC including Boolean Logic, Relational Logic, Ranges, Partial Keys, Pattern Matches, Case Sensitivity, and Grouping are all supported with OMNIDEX.

The power of combining OMNIDEX multidimensional access with advanced keyword capabilities provides unequaled database access to the critical information that drives the quality and speed of all your business decisions.
