If you are a CD-ROM publisher or an owner of huge textual archives and you are interested
in organization of effective searching process, this is a right place for contact with modern high performance technology.

InTime's Findex is a full-text retrieval technology that includes indexing system, compression and sort utilities, search engine, archive customization and other development tools.

Findex is a high performance technology that provides complete set of query functions, an optimal retrieval response time for huge information textual volumes, industry standard compression ratio and sort performance, and reliable search engine processing.

In 1994 InTime's Findex was selected by Grolier Interactive Inc as a search engine for Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia and was implemented for annual editions of this leading product since 1997. 

Grolier is using Findex Retrieval library for IBM PC and MAC environments for different kinds of search within on entire encyclopedia text. Findex Indexing system and compression utility create a set of indexes optimizing run-time searching process.

InTime's retrieval technology is a result of long-term software research, development, optimization and testing of proprietary algorithms and programs for index structure organization, text compression, sorting, searching, etc.

Evaluation of retrieval technology requires consideration of numerous factors from user and designer points of view. InTime's Findex can present many highly competitive characteristics.

The main user estimate - a retrieval response time - is provided particularly by specific index structure and searching algorithms. This method supports for practical independence retrieval time on a source volume. It is extremely important feature for growing data base requirements (DVD, Web).

It is no restrictions for query's organization and complexity. Findex search engine accepts a wide spectrum of word patterns using wild characters, expressions, proximity search, and logical constructions with unlimited complexity. This feature is a base for automated query systems that are growing rapidly on Internet.

A special Findex option is a localization and presentation of all occurrences for given query. A user receives extractions from the source, which contain a query result.

Compression ratio is on industry standard level; it saves disk space and performance time.

High performance indexing. The Findex unique feature is "online reindexing" - high performance index updating.

Customization can be used for organization of fields, links and other attributes and objects of retrieval.
