Innovative similar content search technology SoftInform Search Technology

Sometimes the phrasal search functionality does not suffice. One of the cases is when you need to find absolutely identical documents or those very similar in their content to the query text. No single full text search system today is able to conduct fast and adequate search by the whole document as a query. Except for SearchInform.

Search for similar content is based on the SoftInform Search Technology and is conducted not by separate words or phrases, but by the whole text, which means that the query represents the text of a certain size. As a result, the application generates a list of necessary documents of maximum similarity to the sample abstract.

Similar search is much more than simple comparison of the query line with the words in the text. SoftInform Search for similar documents takes into account all the multitude of words, encountered in the text and all their forms.

For example, by utilizing the phrasal search and selecting the key word (phrase), you have found dozens of documents, containing this phrase:

It is clear that the majority of text documents will be absolutely irrelevant. Remember Internet search engines: how many relevant documents are there in the top ten results?

By utilizing the similar search you don’t need to invent the key words for query and to conduct search several times, looking through results. It is enough to simply press the “search for similar” button – and that’s it: the search utility will display the information you need.

SearchInform similar search is the fastest and most convenient way to find the necessary documents in vast amount of information.
