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.
