featuring our PISCES Search Engine

Fast, powerful, proven, and flexible, PISCES delivers full text search across enormous databases with unified relevance-ranked results, providing full control over your search algorithm, on Windows or Unix.

PISCES combines the advantages of traditional relevancy ranking algorithms with a proprietary algorithm for ranking based on word proximity as well as standard Boolean operations. It is used with unstructured textual data in addition to highly structured data such as XML-encoded documents and MARC records. PISCES searches multiple databases in any combination, yielding combined ranked result lists. It consists of a library of search and retrieval subroutines which may be combined to produce .NET as well as stand-alone retrieval systems.

Turn to PISCES to improve access to information using powerful relevance-ranking capabilities, advanced search features, and simple ways to filter search results by category or FAQs. For more information regarding PISCES, please visit our PISCES history page at the following link

PISCES History



The PISCES Search

PISCES ranks information based upon three factors: the number of unique query terms in a document, automatic term weighting based on a standard term frequency - inverse document frequency (TfIdf) algorithm, and proximity weighting. These three factors can be weighted in their effect on the final ranking. A retrieval language is used where reserved words are preceded by an 'at' (@) sign.
