"The Federal Agency's award of the contract for the joint offer is proof of our product's performance", said Michael Kuhn, chief executive of Deutsche Börse Systems. "The search engine is a joint project of Deutsche Börse Systems and entory. Deutsche Börse Systems provides the software know-how and the system, and entory brings in the sales, project management and service support," said Frank Gerstenschläger, chief executive of entory.
The Internet search engine is based on the existing Xpider system of Deutsche Börse Systems. The search engine comprises an integrated document classification system, language identification and address extraction. Criteria for the search on the Internet, the presetting of languages and the archival storage of results can be adapted flexibly to the respective user's needs.
The adaptive system recognizes new search words and meaningful combinations on its own, which can be used as filters for searches on the Internet. Special rule-based document categories are combined with a computerized learning process. The search engine is based on Java technology and runs as a distributed system on several servers, which makes it highly efficient and especially fail-safe. The system runs on various operating systems such as Solaris, Linux and Windows 2000.
