dtSearch
Publish is an easy "point and click" solution
for publishing documents on CD, DVD or equivalent
media. dtSearch Publish can also mirror an
existing Web site on CD/DVD. With the "Web
Combo Pack," dtSearch Publish allows
for publishing simultaneously a wide range
of documents with advanced searching on CD/DVD
and the Internet/Intranet.
How
dtSearch Publish Setup Works
With dtSearch
Publish, a CD/DVD wizard sets up a browser-based
user interface that runs dtSearch Web from
a Web server (Apache) that the wizard installs
on the CD/DVD. Creation of the CD/DVD master — including
dtSearch Web, the document collection, and
associated search indexes — is "point
and click" easy, requiring absolutely
no programming. Documents can be in multiple
formats: HTML, PDF, XML, word processor, database,
spreadsheet, ZIP, Unicode, etc.
What
dtSearch Publish Looks Like to the CD/DVD
User
For the end-user,
accessing the resulting CD/DVD containing dtSearch
Web and the document set involves simply inserting
the CD/DVD into a drive. The only software
that the end-user needs to access the CD/DVD
is a Web browser. And the installation process
itself installs absolutely nothing on the user’s
hard drive!
When the user
does a search, the user's browser sends a request
to the CD/DVD just like any other Web server.
The CD/DVD displays retrieved documents with
multiple browser-based hit and file navigation
options, just like dtSearch Web:
| • |
PDF
and HTML support includes highlighted hits
as well as display of embedded images and
links. |
| • |
XML
support includes hit-highlighted indexed
searching using the full range of dtSearch
features across an entire XML database,
or limited to a highly specific combination
of fields or sub-fields. |
| • |
Support
for other database, word processor, spreadsheet,
and ZIP file formats includes "on-the-fly" conversion
to HTML, with highlighted hits. |
| • |
Supports
searching of OCR'ed files in PDF format,
including full images with "hidden
text" hit highlighting. |

Web for more information. |
"Web
Combo Pack" Option
dtSearch Publish
is a stand-alone solution for publishing documents
on CD/DVD. dtSearch Web runs on an Internet/Intranet
site. The "Web Combo Pack" offers
both dtSearch Publish and dtSearch Web, allowing
for quick publication of the same document
collection on the Internet/Intranet and on
CD/DVD.
Technical
Note
Both dtSearch
Publish and dtSearch Web include setup wizards,
making them easy for non-programmers to use.
For programmers, the dtSearch Text Retrieval
Engine also includes sample source code to
these products, as well as access to the full
dtSearch Engine’s programming APIs. See dtSearch
Engine for information.
