The keyword indexing capability of

flexible.enterpriseTM allows a user to index meta-data

and data sections within a document or individual fields within a data record independently of each other.

Any keyword index created within

flexible.enterpriseTM can be searched using a search

string, consisting of one or more keywords, operators, and parentheses pairs -- used for nesting logic.

NOT

ORAND

+ -

( )

weapons

Iran“N

orth K

orea”

nuclear

Keyword searching within flexible.enterpriseTM supports the use of the basic unary operators “+” and “-”,

as well as the unary operator “NOT”, the binary operators “AND” and “OR”, and nested parenthesis

( ( “North Korea” AND nuclear ) OR ( Iran AND nuclear ) ) AND NOT weapons

( ( “North Korea” OR Iran ) AND nuclear ) ) AND NOT weapons

“North Korea” Iran +nuclear -weapons

The operators “NOT”, “AND”, and “OR” can be configured to use the appropriate words to match any

language, or even to use special symbols such as “~”, “&” and “|”. Multiple configurations are possible.

( ( “North Korea” & nuclear ) | ( Iran & nuclear ) ) &

~ weapons

( ( “North Korea” O Iran ) Y nuclear ) ) Y NON weapons

“North Korea” Iran +nuclear -weapons

Multiple indexes can be searched within

flexible.enterpriseTM and ANDed together to limit the results to produce a more

accurate result set. Each index can be searched using a separate query string or using the same shared query string.

Content Index Source Index

Multiple indexes can be searched within

flexible.enterpriseTM and ORed together to expand the results to produce a more

complete result set. Each index can be searched using a separate query string or using the same shared query string.

Content Index Title Index

Keyword indexes across different sections of the same document can be combined into a single index group within

flexible.enterpriseTM allowing the document to be searched in total as well as the sections to be searched independently.

Title Index Abstract Index Content Index

D ocum ent Index G roup

Iran AND nuclear

NOTE: By assigning the appropriate weighting values to individual indexes, searching the document index group produces a list of results that can be sorted by relevance.

Each keyword index within flexible.enterpriseTM can be assigned its own translate table, which contains stop word,

synonym, and homonym lists; and rules for root extraction used to process both original data and search strings.

Translate Table

By placing two separate indexes across the same data field or document section -- each with its own translate table,

the user can be given the option to perform either an exact search or a less accurate, approximation search or to

combine the two and sort by relevance.

NOTE: By assigning a higher weighting value to Content Index 1, the search produces a list of results that can be sorted by relevance.

Keyword queries can be combined with numeric range, geo-spatial,

timeline, and attribute queries within

flexible.enterpriseTM to accurately produce the desired result set.
