There is a ton of functionality beyond traditional searches Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because there's so much functionality, it's also not super intuitive; you have to learn basically a mini coding language in order to use it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its performance. Doing term searches via dtSearch engine gave us a well balanced solution between additional footprint and overall functionality of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have any immediate thoughts coming to my mind at the moment which would be useful in this regard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool can handle large amounts of data and indexes quickly. Search results are very good and consistent, finding things that would be very difficult to search for in other tools. I work as a proposal writer and my group at a former company began using this back in the '90s, and never looked back. Far better search capabilities than any of the "proposal" software tools I have used, and makes them unnecessary for the most part. Handles most file types and will index embedded documents (and documents embedded in an embedded document).

Includes proximity searching, which is highly useful, including the ability to set proximity order if necessary. Also searches using Boolean constraints, RegEx, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few features I wish they would add:

1. The ability to turn off searching in embedded documents on a per search basis

2. Conceptual searching would be a nice to have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can search a large group of documents without processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was an integrated OCR function for static items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
