Database Indexer

Database Indexer is an add-on for dtSearch Desktop/Network or dtSearch Web to search SQL type databases.

Works with local and cloud-based databases: SQL, MySQL, SQL on Azure, and SQL on AWS

Easily perform fuzzy, phonic, or field searches with stemming and WordNet expansion

Use dtSearch Desktop on your databases without constructing complex SQL Queries or impacting database performance with long running queries

Display ranked search results with a synopsis and field columns

Schedule index updates

Update the index when the database experiences low traffic

High availability search

Search during database failures or database upgrades; indexes created by Database Indexer are independent of the database

Localization enabled

Edit an external file to translate all visible text into any language supported by Unicode. FREE Language File Editor.

Features

Index all or selected fields, and/or extract documents (text, binary file or filepath)
Index from a table or Custom Query using SQL SELECT Statement
Indexes are automatically recognized and can be searched in dtSearch Desktop/Network or dtSearch Web/Engine
Indexes can be rebuilt or incremental updating based on a last modified date field
Index Options are saved per index
Built in index scheduler
dtSearch Desktop will list all the columns in the database as searchable fields, so that searches can be limited to chosen fields e.g., cheese and (Brand contains (Tesco ))
Configure enumerable fields to enable facet searching with Universal Search Clients
Data type of columns is detected and saved; Universal Search API will use this to determine when to show Date Picker in Universal Search Clients.
Select column to be ‘key’ to a value in another table; for example, when indexing a table that contains column ProductBrandID but not the brand name itself, you can select ProductBrandID as the key for the value to be found in the Brands table
Set user-friendly Display Name for database columns; dtSearch Desktop/Network and Universal Search Clients will use the display name instead of the column name for fields
Alphabetical sorting of all lists of tables & columns
Each Index can contain up to 1Tb of data.
