regain Description

A search engine similar to web search engines like Google, with the difference that you don't search the web, but your own files and documents Using regain you can search through large portions of data (several gigabytes!) in split seconds!This is possible by using a search index. regain crawles through your files or webpages, extracts all text and puts it in a smart search index. All this happens in the background. So if you want to search something you get the results immediately.There are two versions of regain: The desktop search and the server search. The desktop search is to be used on a normal desktop computer and it offers you a fast search for documents or intranet webpages. The server search you can install on web servers. It provides searching functionality for a website or for intranet fileservers.regain is developed using Java and thus applicable on all Java compatible platforms (amongst others Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, Solaris). The server search works with Java Server Pages (JSPs) and a tag library, the desktop search comes with its own small webserver. How to run on your Mac: Open the downloaded archive, open a Terminal window, navigate to the "regain" folder and issue the following command: "java -jar regain.jar -notrayicon". Here are some key features of "regain": · regain uses the powerful search syntax of Lucene. Thus it is possible to express very specific search queries. The most important possibilities are the following: Boolean operators, Wildcards, Phonetic search, Grouping, and much more. You can find more information about the search syntax here. · Multi index search: Search multiple indexes with one search mask. Totally transparent for the user. · URL-Rewriting: You can use URL-Rewriting at your search. This enables you to index documents from file://c:/www-data/intranet/docs and show them in the browser as http://intranet.murfman.de/docs. · Advanced search: All values that are in the index for one field may now be provided as a drop down list on the search page. Particularly together with auxiliary fields this is very useful. · File-to-http-bridge: Some browsers load for security reasons no file links from http pages. Thus all documents that are in the index are now provided over HTTP. Of corse this may switched off and at the desktop search these documents are only accessible from the local host. Requirements: · Java What's New in This Release: · New Sorting: relevance, last-modified, size, title, mimetype, path, filename. The sorting feature has to be configured in the SearchConfiguration.xml. Only sorting by relevance is enabled in the delivered default config (same behaviour as before on the search results page). · The last-modified date will be displayed on every search hit. · UPDATED: Lucene to version 2.9.1 · UPDATED: PDFBox to version 0.8.0 · Obsolete PoiMsWord, -Excel, -Powerpoint and -VisioPreparator classes are removed. · DEPRECATED: SingleSearchResults, MultipleSearchResults, MergedHits. These classes will be removed in one of the next distribution (dependíng on the Lucene 3.0 update)
