The Search component provides advanced data services for querying, locating, and analyzing your enterprise data. It automatically processes, locates, and analyzes the most relevant information in databases, intranets and Internet, centralized repositories, libraries, file systems, network drives, and existing document management systems in your enterprise.
The Search component:
Extracts core concepts found in unstructured data across file systems, databases, and Web
Supports all forms of digital information such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, plain text files, Adobe Acrobat PDF files, and HTML
Sybase Search uses the Sybase Search Content Adapter, which is an add-on option you can purchase separately, to perform searches across proprietary document formats such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat PDF documents.
Automatically captures and aggregates all of your unstructured data
Enables search in natural language
Sybase Search includes a central hub server, several satellite containers that include the indexing and search modules, and a Web administration server to provide the search capabilities for your environment.
