Terabyte Indexer.  dtSearch enterprise and developer products can index over a terabyte of data in a single index, spanning multiple directories, emails and attachments, online data and other databases.  The products can create and search any number of indexes.  Indexed search time is typically less than a second, even across terabytes of data.  The product line also supports highly concurrent, multithreaded searching.
 
dtSearch Spider and Federated Searching.  dtSearch products offer federated searching across any number of directories, emails (with nested attachments), and databases.  The dtSearch Spider adds local and remote, static and dynamic online content to a search.  The Spider can index sites to any level of depth, with support for public and private or secure online content, including log-ins and forms-based authentication.  dtSearch products support integrated relevancy ranking with highlighted hits of data across both online and offline repositories.
 
25+ Search Options; Advanced Data Classification. The dtSearch product line offers over 25 search options, ranging from basic search types, to full-text and/or fielded data positive and negative variable term weighting, to special search options for forensically-recovered data.  In the dtSearch Engine, a wide range of API filters and objects support additional categorization via document full-text contents, document fielded data, database content, or data attributes attached during document indexing.
 
International Language Support. dtSearch products support Unicode, including support for right-to-left languages, and special Chinese/Japanese/Korean character options.
