Review
This review applies to version 4.4
The latest version of this software will soon be reviewed by our
informers.
This software is for indexing and searching HTML files, text files or files of a similar kind (such as XML files) in a hierarchy of files either on CD, a hard disk or some similar storage medium (not files on an online website).
This software does not simply create a list of files or simply search for character strings in a file. It indexes every word in every file, and any file containing a particular set of words (or any of those words, or an exact phrase) can be found by searching for those words.
This software consists of two modules:
1. An index module which is used to create an index of the files to be searched.
2. A search module which is used to search those files.
The index module is capable of indexing a hierarchy of over 1000 HTML files, totalling over 20 MB, and containing over 50,000 different words. Even with that number of different words the search module returns results in a few seconds. The results are displayed by the software and can also be displayed in a page in your default web browser, with links to the files containing the words searched for. |
