Language-Neutral Search Options

Language Analyzer API Integration

• The dtSearch Engine includes a language analyzer API that can be used to integrate morphological analyzers and custom or dictionary-based word breakers into the dtSearch Engine indexing process.
• The dtSearch Engine offers integration with Basis Technology's Rosette Linguistics Platform for enhanced Chinese, Japanese and Korean text retrieval.
• The dtSearch Engine also includes an API for substituting a non-English language thesaurus for the existing English-language one.
