Text Search

SAND Text Analytics iconSAND’s Text Search easily locates valuable information that is buried and unexploited in textual data — e.g. email messages, documents, web pages, call center records, social media feeds including Twitter and Facebook, and similar unstructured data. Organizations increasingly understand the value of columnar databases, their ability to power investigative applications, for example e-discovery, web site analytics, and fraud detection is just beginning to be exploited.

Using SAND’s Text Search, words are tokenized and automatically indexed according to their location in a database column, enabling fast location of specific words. SAND Text Search delivers the highest performance and most advanced text analytics on the market today.

Extensions to SQL deliver extensive, advanced text search, including:

  • SOUNDS LIKE
  • SPELLED LIKE
  • Proximity searches for words within or beyond a specified distance
  • “Concept” searches for synonyms
  • “Stem” searches for related words.

Search terms are combined with the Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT, delivering advanced search power. Search results can be scored for relevance, making it simple to assess results and quickly find the precise information that is required. All searches are combined with standard queries, delivering unparalleled analytic insight.
