  • Synonyms

  • Accent stripping

  • Sub string and prefix

  • Searching of HTML and text layered documents

Keywords can be Added to HTML Documents:
Any number of keywords can be added to HTML documents which will not show up when the document is viewed. This is used to make a document more likely to be found and also to make it appear higher in the list of matches.

Daily Default Pre index at 5:00am EST: 
By pre indexing during the very early morning hours, API Find can give your web site's users instantaneous results for searches.  The engine can crawl over a 100mb web site within 5 minutes time.  It does not generate a large server load.

Boolean Expression Searching:
Searches can be arbitrarily complex using Boolean expressions.

Email Notification of Expired Documents:
Special meta information can be added to HTML documents which can be used to notify the maintainer of those documents at the time of their expiration.

A Protected Server can be Indexed:
API Find can be told to use a specific username and password when it retrieves documents. This can be used to index a server or parts of a server that are protected by a username and password.

Configurable Search Results:
The output of a search can easily be tailored to your needs by means of providing HTML templates.

Searches on Subsections of the Database:
It is easy to set up a search which only returns documents whose URL matches a certain pattern. This becomes very useful for people who want to make their own data searchable without having to use a separate search engine or database.

Robot Exclusion is Supported:
The standard for robot exclusion is supported by API Find.

The Depth of the Search can be Limited:
Instead of limiting the search to a set of matches, it can also be restricted to documents that are a certain number of 'mouse-clicks' away from the start document.

  • Full support for the ISO-Latin-1 character set

  • Both SGML entities like '&Web Design &Interactive;' and ISO-Latin-1 characters can be indexed and searched
