Open Search Server

Open Search Server is first and foremost an open source project, distributed under a GNU/GPL v3 licensing. Its goal is to make available to a user community a series of tools. To do so, we have chosen the SourceForge portal and its superior services.

Built using the best open source technologies available, Open Search Server is a stable, high-performance piece of software. It is both a modern search engine and a suite of high-powered full text search algorithms.

• The lucene Text search engine library Apache Lucene
• Stable and powerful server Apache Tomcat
• An ergonomic user interface powered ZK direct RIA

Features

• Multi-languages indexing. Documents can be indexed in sixteen languages – Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English,  Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.
• Multi-lingual analysers slice sentences into words, then run lemmatisation algorithms on words based on the document’s language (singular/plural, gender, conjugated verbs, etc.)
• The crawlers go through web sites and file systems to rapidly and easily build your index.
• Numerous document formats are supported, such as XML, HTML/XHTML, Adobe™ PDF, Microsoft™ Word™, PowerPoint™, OpenOffice™, etc.
• The web interface is built around the power offered by the Zkoss framework. It runs with the main Ajax browsers. This RIA-type interface is as comfortable to use as that of a heavy client.
• Easy configuration through a single XML file, which includes fields definition and the indexation options.
• Quick integration thanks to an XML interface via HTTP queries (XML over HTTP).

Open Search Server runs on Windows 20xx/XP/Vista, MacOS X, Solaris and Linux + Java Virtual Machine.
