Integrated Search Capabilities

Companies deal with not just with perfectly structured datasets stored in nicely organized relational databases, but with unstructured data spread across fragmented data sources. Denodo’s focus on virtualizing all data enables corporations to access and federate information from heterogeneous sources, even if they do not explicitly offer enough meta-information. Besides providing query capabilities, Denodo allows users to perform integrated keyword-based searches on structured and unstructured information.

Here are some highlights of the features offered by Denodo in its search capability space:

Build searchable indexes on any data (structured or unstructured) that can be accessed through the Denodo Platform;
Crawl websites (even those using Javascript/AJAX), file systems, FTP servers and mail servers to build searchable indexes that can then be combined with any other data source;
Integrate indexes from major search tools (e.g. Google Search) as data sources in Denodo;
Federate complex searches across multiple search engines using unified search syntax supporting multi-field searches, wildcards, boolean expressions, proximity search and similarity search;
Combine information from unstructured indexes with structured information from any structured or semi-structured data source;
Use fuzzy similarity measures to combine data from heterogeneous sources taking into account differences in data representation formats;
Automatically extract the most relevant terms from text data fields;
Leverage Denodo’s Web automation (link to web automation topic) technology to extract web data from the Internet in structured form;
Extract structured information from documents in PDF, Word and Excel formats leveraging Denodo’s intelligent data extraction technology.
