What about "more like this" search?

Many competitor products offer "search like this" functionality. A problem with these systems is that once you have clicked "more like this", your search query is no longer able to be represented on the screen, which means that you are no longer in control of your search action.

Eidetica's interpretation of "more like this" is to extract, for each document, the search terms that distinguish this particular document from the others you have found. Thus, at all stages, you are the onewho makes the selection of the terms that guide the search - and who better than you knows what you want?

Who are Eidetica's competitors?

Verity is the market leader in retrieval software and provides entry-level, "commodity" search software. Autonomy and Muscat (now amalgamated into the Dialog Corporation) are high-end providers. Unless integrated by professionals who are already acquainted with the software, these products have a steep learning curve and require lengthy implementation trajectories. This is especially true for mining and classification tasks.

Eidetica's hosted solutions are a sensible choice - when you depend on information professionally, when time and financial resources are critical and quick implementation and/or high levels of additional expertise are required.
