Webinator

The Webinator Web Index & Retrieval System is a highly customizable website search engine software package built on the Texis platform and coded in Vortex (Texis Web Script) that allows for the easy creation and deployment of a high quality search interface to collections of web documents—no matter where they reside.

A single installation can serve searches for many websites, or different areas within a website, and a customizable thesaurus or synonym file allows users to find documents even if the terminology they use is different from that on the site. As a flexible solution, Webinator indexes multiple sites into one common index or separate indexes for separate searches.

For administrators, Webinator offers a fully customizable search interface with XML and SOAP support, detailed verification and logging of document linkages, Index/update documents while search is in use, SQL query interface to the database for maintenance and reports, multiple index engines run concurrently against a common database, Adobe Acrobat/PDF file support, with highlighting of hits within Acrobat Reader, plus Adobe Shockwave/Flash file support and 100+ word processor and file formats.

On the other hand, users can also take advantage of it features as Webinator also provides Simple navigation, spelling suggestions and as-you-type query completions. It also has a powerful and easy to use query syntax for Natural language, Set logic, Special pattern matchers (regular expressions, quantities, fuzzy patterns), Relevance ranking and Proximity controls. This also includes document similarity searches (Doc Surfing), link reference reports and in-context result listings.
