FT Search Manager


The FT Search Manager is a fast, multithreaded Notes & Web search engine that allows any user to search all of their favourite Notes databases at exactly the same time (i.e. in parallel, not sequentially) using standard Full Text search queries. The Search database can be used from either a Notes Client or Browser, installed on a server, and/or replicated locally. The databases being searched can be anywhere.

Results show the Search phrases in the context of the document (like Web Search results), making it easy to locate the documents you want, and a 'Did You Mean' spell checker provides greater accuracy.


NEW! Translatable, Sortable and Selectable Results

All columns in the result set are now sortable, and you can easily run your own custom functions on results selected by the user. You can additionally translate all user functions into whatever language you prefer.


Searching Mail & Mail Archives

Even in R8.5, you cannot search your Mail & Mail Archives simultaneously. However you can with the FT Search Manager, and directly from the Mail File (including choosing which Folders and Views to search).

This means that users no longer have to open individual Archives to get their data - they have everything they need in one place.


Search via Dialogbox

You can also search from any database, and/or replace the standard Domain Search.

You get the benefits of Domain Searching (even better, because each user only searches what they personally want to search, including local databases and their Mail), while retaining the full set of Full Text search features (Field Level searching, AND, OR, NOT, *, +, -, etc), provided using a Query Builder.

Searching can be performed locally or server-based, across any local or server-based databases, and requires no additional search indexes to be built. The only requirement is our search database installed on an R6+ Server or Client. You can also modify the search database to match your corporate look-and-feel, or search from another database.

"It's a great product at a great price and something everyone in the Notes/Domino community should be using." - Tom Markovich, Chicago Lotus Notes User Group (GRANITE).
