ISYS releases ISYS:sdk 9

 ISYS Search Software has introduced ISYS:sdk 9, its search integration kit for original equipment manufacturers (OEM), independent software vendors (ISV) and systems integrators.

The company claims ISYS:sdk 9 offers customers several major enhancements, all designed to deliver the performance, scalability and accuracy required for empowering third-party applications with best-of-breed search. Most significantly, the SDK has expanded its core engine’s content mining capabilities using deterministic and reliable methods that help customers better understand their content. Through its Intelligent Content Analysis, ISYS notes key characteristics about a content collection, such as metadata patterns and entities, thus enabling OEMs to leverage these facets for improved search and discovery.

ISYS reports additional ISYS:sdk 9 capabilities include:

Improved Performance and Scalability. ISYS:sdk handles most search requests concurrently, resulting in increased throughput when compared with previous versions. Additionally, ISYS:sdk 9 offers increased index capacity, allowing for 2 TB to 4 TB of content per single index. Indexes may be "connected together" providing search over vast amounts of enterprise content.

De-Duplication. ISYS automatically identifies identical documents and either removes them from the results or visually marks them. This capability is of particular importance to legal professionals conducting discovery work, or any user attempting to conduct analysis of a given content collection.

Index Biasing. In an effort to expand ISYS:sdk’s tuning capabilities, ISYS now provides administrators with the ability to adjust the relevance weighting on entire or sub-collections of documents. This option enables an organization to further tune relevance to suit specific use case scenarios.
