Doclinx launches Terabyte-capable, Java-based XML Search Server

Doclinx, Inc. launches TeraXML Enterprise Search 5.0, a pure-Java, terabyte-capable, high-speed contextual XML and full-text search server for massive data sets. TeraXML supports HTML, PDF and 200 document types, foreign languages like Arabic, Japanese and Korean, parametric searching, keyword highlighting, document level security and the ability to aggregate content from disparate data sources.

Chantilly, VA - March 18, 2002 - Doclinx, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise XML and full-text search technology to government agencies and Fortune 500 companies, today announced the release of TeraXML Enterprise Search 5.0, a terabyte-capable, high-speed XML and full-text search server.

TeraXML allows organizations to deploy large-scale applications and portals that require XML and full-text search over massive, multi-terabyte data sets.

TeraXML provides many advanced features such as foreign language indexing, integrated parametric searching, contextual XML search, keyword highlighting, document-level security and authentication, web crawling and the ability to aggregate content from disparate data sources such as Lotus Notes, e-mail servers, databases, file systems and the web.

TeraXML's architecture is based on the open XML and J2EE standards, which allows organizations to minimize integration costs and also provides a standard framework for extensibility and customization. TeraXML is available on the Windows NT/2000/XP, Solaris and Linux platforms.

TeraXML can handle many character encodings which enables it to index and search documents in foreign languages such as Arabic, Japanese, Korean and many others.

TeraXML is designed to handle terabyte-sized data sets containing billions of documents and trillions of words. Its 64-bit architecture allows TeraXML to eliminate limits on document and index sizes, enabling it to index and optimize massive data sets faster than any search engine available. Parallel indexing yields indexing speeds of 10 gigabytes per hour. TeraXML's minimal disk I/O ensures rapid retrieval from even the largest data sets. In one test, TeraXML consistently returned search results from a one-terabyte data set in less than 10 milliseconds.

TeraXML achieves virtually unlimited scalability using multiple, load-balanced TeraXML search servers to handle large user loads and clustered TeraXML parallel indexing servers to handle massive data sets. TeraXML indexes do not exhibit "index bloat" and are typically 20% to 70% smaller than the input XML.

TeraXML's flexible security model supports document-level security allowing the system administrator to control user access to indexed documents. Search results are filtered so users see only documents to which they have been granted access. TeraXML works with security policies defined through Microsoft Windows, popular knowledge management and database products like Lotus Notes and Oracle or LDAP servers.

TeraXML's powerful query language provides advanced features, including Boolean operators, fuzzy search, wildcards, proximity search, and stemming. XML contextual searches use established industry standards XPath and XQuery.

Another key TeraXML advantage is its "parametric search" capability. "Parametric search" allows the user to find more relevant documents by combining the flexibility of full-text search with the increased accuracy of fielded queries.

"The projected growth of corporate information and the use of XML mandates a technology that can scale to Terabytes of information and thousands of users." said Ravin Suri, Doclinx' Chief Technology Officer. "TeraXML fulfills this need, providing innovative features that allow today's knowledge worker to be more productive".
