The iSYS company has been on the market for 16 years, and has acquired over 10 000 consumers of its products. Since the very foundation of the company the software developed by iSYS has been aimed at business users. The software range delivered by iSYS includes full text search programs on desktop computers, in corporate networks and in the Internet.

The full text search corporate search system from iSYS is designed to secure a fast and convenient search. Whether applied on a personal computer, the Internet or the corporate network of an enterprise, iSYS indexes data and performs documents search by using statements and key phrases just as in case of Internet search engines.

iSYS supports several query methods (Command Line Query, Menu-Assisted Query, Natural Language Query); uses the document relevance algorithm and the linguistic peculiarities of the language that allow introducing such features as synonyms, fuzzy search (search with errors) and so on.

iSYS supports 125 file formats (including Microsoft Office documents, WordPerfect, email, PDF, XML, databases and so on) and 30 languages, including even Chinese, Japanese and Corean.

Indexing and processing 20 gigabytes of information by iSYS 7.0 took 6 hours 13 minutes resulting in a rather good time and size of the created file - 7.9 b.

The slightly complicated method of searching with different query versions may strike a newbie as inconvenient at first (for lack of experience). However, close scrutiny resolves all questions. The point of the matter is that the full text search application refuses to search documents by a "long" query consisting of several words. This type of search is provided for by some additional features. Among the strengths of the information retrieval application is the high quality system of automatic documents rubrication. As soon as indexing was complete, iSYS assigned all processed documents to the appropriate rubrics and presented them in a convenient form.
