Boolean Search

Version 3.4.2

Add HTML searches to your website.

Boolean Search overview

Boolean Search is an OS X Web server application for searching the contents of files. Boolean Search can be employed as a search engine for a public website on the Internet, or a personal or group owned collection of files on your own computer or network. A wide variety of search criteria and customizable response pages makes Boolean Search a very flexible alternative to Internet search engines or operating system services like Spotlight.

Features
  • Search forms and results are highly customizable with the use of "templates," standard HTML and AppleScript
  • Generation of a "site index" which lists all the words contained in a file collection, and links to the files which contain them
  • Various query-based search methods are available: exact, partial, approximate, case sensitive, proximity, phrase, regular expression pattern matching, etc.
  • A wide variety of "context summaries" of found documents are available, and files are viewable with search terms linked and highlighted
  • PDF, MS Word and RTF indexing
  • Spell-checking of queries and generation of new queries for the corrected terms (as in "Did you mean?)
  • Boolean Search contains an integrated Web server so it can serve and process its own search forms
  • Interaction with the program using a Web browser and standard TCP/IP means you can either use Boolean Search on your own Mac-hosted Web site, or as a personal search engine right on your own computer (especially when used in conjunction with the Blue Crab Web crawler)
  • Supports multiple directories and provides the ability to find files by name, kind, date, type, etc., together with a content query for more targeted searching
  • Standard server realms support
  • Search directory administration includes settings for word break characters, stopwords, synonyms, variety of file filters, "last visit cookies"
  • Customizable logging for each search directory
  • Automatic re-indexing and caching can be scheduled in the Preferences window
  • Optional browser-based administration enables remote configuration of the search directories
