SRA’s OrionMagic® law enforcement application is designed to search through massive amounts of fragmentary investigative material, to instantly find the one or two "smoking guns." OrionMagic® takes the users through all the steps of information gathering: from the creation of search criteria and selection of sources, through the organization and analysis of the results, to the creation of reports and analytical charts.

The resulting law enforcement applications include: crime pattern analysis, criminal investigations, criminal prosecution, drug trafficking, intelligence gathering, forensic analysis, major incident investigation, missing persons investigation, task force knowledge management, as well as the renowned GangNet® currently used in California and across the US. Law enforcement customers include the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and other branches of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the New York Police Department (NYPD), and police departments in California, Florida, and Maryland.

OrionMagic® allows the user to organize multiple search parameters into a matrix format resembling a spreadsheet, and perform massively parallel searches from a single command. OrionMagic® populates the matrix with cross sectional search results, and presents them in a format amenable to instant text and graphical analysis. Onboard database options further allow users to select and categorize data elements for relational analysis, automatically create link diagrams using OrionMagic's linking feature, and automatically generate reports.

While dtSearch's specialty lies in performing very fast searches over terabytes of text, OrionMagic's specialty lies in organizing the output of a search, gleaning the most pertinent results from a search. OrionMagic does this through "concept" overlays that make the most sense out of search results, and also help to better organize the actual items for which the user searches.

"dtSearch's many different search options, such as adjustable fuzzy, stemming for root word derivations, numeric range, proximity, complex boolean logic, and relevancy-ranked natural language also made dtSearch the best choice," said Bill Morris, Director of Research and Development for OrionMagic. They also liked dtSearch's support for all the latest file formats. "It was a one-stop shopping solution," said Mr. Morris.
