- BASISplus Document Database is designed to manipulate text from ground up.
- BASISplus has the capability of searching on both "Structured" and
- "Unstructured" fields simultaneously.
-
- e.g. Search for all documents by Vijay Sharma that contain the word -
- "BASISplus".
-
- Additionally the database handles SGML documents hence maintaining the
- document structure as well as giving the user the capability of searching
- at the component level of the documents.
