What is Discovery Engine?

Discovery Engine® is the industry’s most powerful and scalable full-text, guided search-and-discovery system for both structured and unstructured searches. It takes advantage of the structure in a database to add context and scope by presenting categorized results with counts. As a result, Discovery Engine creates a highly intuitive, human-like dialog to help users find precisely what they want - as well as discover additional data of interest.

Discovery Engine’s proprietary core technology combines the best aspects of full-text search engines with real-time, multi-faceted browsing to provide lightning fast and highly scalable search and indexing. Built with industrial-strength search in mind, the technology has been refined over a decade of experience with multiple deployments processing billions of queries in dozens of applications and languages. Discovery Engine’s "bolt-on" approach can be implemented quickly, easily and inexpensively to deliver massive value to end users.

Why Is Discover Engine Superior?

Superior Performance and Scalability

Discovery Engine is built around a unique paradigm of information retrieval specifically designed for searching structured textual data in real time. It features a rich set of efficient algorithms for compressing, optimizing and searching structured and unstructured data, along with a distributed parallel processing architecture, to enable massive scalability and high-speed results. Regardless of the size of data, complexity of structures, number of categories, or amount of load, Discovery Engine yields sub-second search response times.

 

No Information Overload, Dead Ends or Guesswork

Discovery Engine enables users to "search and discover" iteratively and interactively. Instead of overwhelming them with long lists of "ranked" results, users get a neatly organized summary view of the data (i.e. categories with counts) at each step of the search to proactively guide them to the desired information. Based on a given query, Discovery Engine quickly and dynamically determines an exhaustive list of filters that definitively return results. As a result, users are never presented with invalid options or categories. In addition, they are constantly informed of the valid options available to help them narrow or broaden their search.

 

Substantial Cost-Savings and ROI

Discovery Engine is designed to deliver massive cost savings for content publishers. Intelligenx customers often achieve 80% savings in hardware, hosting and enterprise database costs. Because the engine simply bolts onto existing enterprise infrastructure, there is no need for costly integration efforts, technology displacement or significant disruption to existing operations. The technology works independently from the database on low-cost, commodity-class servers in ultra-scalable clustered computing environments. What’s more, since the technology was developed from the ground up to achieve the desired behavior, publishers can enjoy sophisticated search functionality without spending a fortune on custom software.
