A software that allows users to add HTML searches to their website, enabling visitors to quickly search through the site's content.
The software supports content queries that use Boolean and regular expressions, as well as phrase and proximity searches, fuzzy and partial word searches, and similarity search. With optional spell checking on queries, it provides a "Did you mean?" functionality similar to Google. Additionally, Boolean Search can extract various kinds of summaries, icons, meta tag information, and standard file attributes, providing an expansive variety of file information for the search results page.
One novel feature of Boolean Search is its "Site Index" generator, which serves up a linked index of all the words a site contains. The software can also generate documents with search terms highlighted to help users determine their relevancy, and paging and sorting mechanisms are available to manage browsing the collection of found files.
Some key features of Boolean Search include its fast, ram-based index, browser-based administration, configurable server root that can be set to any folder, directory-based iteration that is ideal for unlinked document collections, and support for multiple websites (multi-homing). It also offers a monitor window and logging, server realms for access restrictions, fully customizable search forms and results pages, stop words and synonyms, proximity and phrase searches, linked document word highlighting via HTML anchors, regular expressions, Boolean logic and wildcards. Additionally, HTML formatting of the "word index" provides access to all words on your website, and various query methods such as exact, partial, and approximate searches on file attributes such as size or modification date.
Boolean Search is extensible via AppleScript and offers automatic rebuilds. Overall, Boolean Search is a comprehensive software that provides a wide range of features and benefits for website developers and HTML document librarians looking to enhance their search capabilities.
