Excalibur Text Search DataBlade Module

The Excalibur Text Search DataBlade module enables you to search your data in ways that are faster and more sophisticated than the keyword matching that SQL provides. Excalibur text search capabilities include phrase matching, exact and fuzzy searches, compensation for misspelling, and synonym matching. The Excalibur Text Search DataBlade module can search any type of text.

The Excalibur Text Search DataBlade module uses dynamic links in the Excalibur class library, or text search engine, to perform the text search section of the SELECT statement instead of having the database server perform a traditional search. The text search engine is specifically designed to perform sophisticated and fast text searches. It runs in one of the database server-controlled virtual processes.
