Like humans, it learns the meanings of the words from the context in which they are used. Using these semantic profiles, the system is able to perform true fuzzy semantic searches. In order to search, the system compares the semantic profile of the query with semantic profiles for each document. This technology differs from previous information management tools. Rather than organizing the documents as they go into the system, by assigning them to rigid categories, it organizes documents on the way out of the system, when and how users want them.
Users can refer to ideas in relatively unconstrained ways.
Because the system compares the profiles and not just the words, it is able to identify documents that are about a particular idea rather than those that simply contain specific words. DolphinSearch has incorporated its technology into several tools for information management. DolphinSearch Corporate is a network appliance that makes the documents on an organization's internet or intranet available for relevant document retrieval. DolphinSearch E-Clips is an electronic clipping tool used by Ad Agencies and Market Research firms. DolphinSearch Employment Search automates the personnel placement process by matching resumes to appropriate job descriptions.
