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.
System Requirements
-------------------
dtSearch for DOS requires DOS 3.3 or later and at least 384k of
available memory (512k recommended).
dtSearch for Windows requires Windows 3.1 or higher and at least 2 Mb
of memory (4 Mb recommended).
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)

∙ 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:

∙ documents and indexes stored on a local area network
Indexing Capabilities
---------------------

many indexes as you want.

of context

overlapping windows
∙ find hits or other text in retrieved documents
