UniFind™ Search – Find the Needle in the Haystack!

UniFind™ Search, is most simply described as a search engine, but is more aptly described as the Most Advanced Natural Language Enterprise Search Solution. Going head to head against its competitors on numerous occasions, in various scenarios, UniFind consistently has come out well ahead not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of price, and ease of implementation and maintenance.

UniFind™ Server

UniFind Server allows a company to automatically respond to its customers' and employees' stated needs by extracting the most relevant information from the company's designated disparate sources of unstructured data, if desired, even in multiple languages. Essentially, UniFind is an extremely advanced search engine, which gives corporations and governments the ability to create a single, reliable, point of entry to their disparate sources of information.

Once UniFind is quickly and easily installed, unstructured data from various web sites, file systems and databases can be crawled and indexed in a variety of combinations. As well as being able to crawl and index at a competitive rate, UniFind's indexing process is considerably more thorough than that of competing products.

When a user performs a search, UniFind finds the documents that best match the user's query; the query is not limited to a few words, but can be a paragraph or even an entire document. In fact, UniFind's strength lies in its ability to process queries that are not restricted to a few key words; thus, a detailed natural language question will yield significantly better results than a key word query

Although UniFind's approach to Information Retrieval (i.e., search) may appear similar to that of numerous search technologies, the breadth and performance of its technology makes it vastly superior. UniFind is a much more powerful solution, in a simpler, more cost efficient package.

UniFind™ CrossLanguage™ Search

Unlike most search systems that require users to know and understand the language of the documents they want to search, and that only allow users to search one language at a time, UniFind CrossLanguage Search allows users to ask questions in their native tongue, and have the most relevant documents in multiple languages immediately returned to them.

As its name suggests, it includes a unique, fully functional, simultaneous cross-language search that not only supports Natural Language queries, but also encourages them. Users can enter a query in the language of their choice (e.g., French) and see high quality search returns that are first selected from amongst all the documents in a collection, even if the documents are written in languages other than French (e.g., English), and then the selected documents are ranked in order of their relevance to the query.

Users knowing the language(s) in which the returned documents are written can obviously continue their work without further assistance, while other users can have the documents they don�t understand automatically translated for them.

This functionality does not entirely replace the need for manual translation of documents. However, by considerably reducing this need, UniFind significantly alleviates the time lag associated with such activity. With UniFind, access to any document is instantaneous, regardless of the language in which the document is written.
