April 23 2005 Dieselpoint a national leader in the search software marketplace today announced the nextgeneration version of Dieselpoint Search which provides a comprehensive allJava solution to the problem of finding information in documents databases and XML Dieselpoint Search provides a solution to a challenge faced by many organizations who struggle with making it easy for end users to find and discover the information they need Whether the organization is deploying online product catalogs document search site search intranetenterprise search knowledgebases or embedded OEM search the challenge remains the same How do we make it easy for our users to find what they are looking for quickly and efficiently For those who track the search software industry Dieselpoint Search is widely regarded as the most sophisticated solution on the market for applications that require fulltext navigational and parametric search Since its initial release in 2000 Dieselpoint Search has made it easy to develop and deploy applications that can navigate and search data from any source Today Dieselpoint Search is the search software solution of choice for many leading retailers wholesalers publishers government agencies healthcare organizations technology firms and companies in a variety of other industries Version 35 Focuses on Faceted Navigation In Dieselpoint Search 35 developers have access to a host of new features that will enhance their search implementations The new release continues to strengthen a key feature of Dieselpoint Search the ability to intelligently navigate through data based on the datas structure and its attributes Data about data or faceted metadata as it is termed in the search software business is increasingly common For example an entry into a song lyrics database would certainly contain the full text of the song lyrics but it could also contain additional faceted metadata such as the author of the song the genre the creation date recording artists who recorded the song the recording label the country of origin and several other selfdefining attributes The ability to tap into the power of metadata is a key strength of Dieselpoint Search All search software provides fulltext search capabilities In a song lyrics application for example users can search for a phrase such as sky with diamonds Dieselpoint Search fully supports fulltext search but the software differentiates itself from other search software products by allowing metadata facets to be exposed in the search interface enabling guided browsing via dynamicallygenerated hyperlinks This faceted navigation feature allows end users to do things like drilldown through categories eg song genre to find results rather than just doing a text search Users can navigate large information spaces without feeling lost The interface can guide the user toward possible choices The end result is that users find information they are interested in quickly and efficiently With this release Dieselpoint adds enhanced support for taxonomydriven searches In search software terminology a taxonomy is a knowledge model organized into a hierarchical arrangement For example song lyrics might be categorized by genre eg rock and each genre may include subcategories eg punk rock classic rock In Version 35 there is a new taxonomy datatype that lets developers take maximum advantage of these interrelationships between attributes In addition new internal indices for taxonomy attributes are automatically generated resulting in ultrafast search performance and facet display Integrating guided browsing driven by metadata with advanced text search capabilities represents the nextgeneration of information access for enterprise search a much more powerful solution than that offered by traditional search software notes Dieselpoint CEO Chris Cleveland The reality is that sometimes its best to search and other times its best to browse With our software developers can find the right balance between searching and browsing the solution that is best for their end users A fully functional version of Dieselpoint 35 is available for download at httpwwwdieselpointcom In addition to making it easier to generated faceted navigation search interfaces Version 35 contains many other features including the ability to preprocess and modify data prior to indexing enhanced crawling
