Topical Search

Description

The Topical Search system of the SoftInform company is a software package for performing pin-pointed search of information in the Internet within a pre-defined list of resources. Topical search includes all the features of Personal Internet complementing it with monitoring leading search engines (Google, Yandex, Yahoo, Msn) and adding new resources to the database by key words, as well as the presence of documents with a similar content for generating a "similarity" report for a certain period of time.

Google (or any other search engine) indexes a gigantic amount of resources and, consequently, does it slowly. For example, a forum message or a blog comment will be indexed (and, consequently, included into search results) at worst in a couple of weeks. With Personal Internet, however, indexing is performed on a daily basis (or at a user-defined interval) and by a limited list of resources, which eventually timely produces new data. By the way, one of the applications of the system could be tracking information about competitors. Such a system of "prompt response" will come in handy to marketing departments so they can react to any changes in forums, blogs and news sites without delay.

Adding Resources to the Database

Administrator adds a list of sites for the system to index in an explicit form

Administrator specifies the key words related to the topic in question. Then the system will add the key words in the form of a query for search engines (Google, Yandex, etc.) and process the result. The domains, the pages of which contain the key words, are automatically (or manually in "moderated" mode) added to the appropriate "topic".

Searching Documents with a Similar Content

It is often the case that certain information calls for additional data on the topic. For example, having viewed an article on a new cell phone on one resource you need to find the information on this model on other sites as well. The unparalleled technology for searching similar documents will ensure that you get all the information with similar contents from the index. It is due to this technology that you can get all "similar" data from all resources on the topic within a matter of seconds.

Summary

Topical search will display in the resulting list only the information on the topic in question and automatically categorize it in sub-rubrics. Indexing for a particular purpose of similar resources only, real-time monitoring of the resources by a special "spider" and the unique search similar function will provide the user with latest categorized information on a topic of interest.
