Searcher Analyzer

A powerful federated searching solution with real-time analysis and automatic metadata tagging, Searcher Analyzer is a research tool that goes beyond ordinary federated searching by performing an automatic on-the-fly article analysis. The resulting search results are then clustered into specific concepts, allowing users to quickly find the relevant articles they need from an organization's array of full text resources, including A&I databases, catalogs, Web sites, and local repositories.

Search across multiple databases simultaneously

With Searcher Analyzer you can search in hundreds of external resources such as full text databases, abstract databases, search portals, Web sites, library catalogs, and more.  TDNet also has extensive experience in building custom connectors for local resources and repositories.  To date, we have created over 4,500 connectors to more than 4,500 public databases.

Analyze results automatically

Most federated search systems can display hundreds and thousands of search results, but only Searcher Analyzer can dramatically improve the user's experience by organizing and displaying only the most relevant results.  When a user enters key words or phrases, Searcher Analyzer's  patented post-search text analysis automatically clusters the results into subject categories, allowing even the most basic users to quickly navigate to the articles they need.  In addition, Searcher Analyzer features real-time automatic abstracting and metadata tagging for more precise results.

Choose your interface

Searcher Analyzer offers a choice of two easy-to-use interfaces. The Standard interface includes full federated searching with Searcher Analyzer's  unique post-search article analysis and concept clustering technology.  The Searcher Analyzer Personal interface adds powerful search customization tools, including the My Searches functionality that allows the user to create automated searches and receive citation reports via email, and My Links stores article citations for later review.   

Easily integrate with other IT systems

Searcher Analyzer is designed to easily integrate with all other knowledge and content management systems and enterprise portals.  Searcher Analyzer  is also available as a stand-alone product with a browser-based front end.
