CrunchIndex – A Powerful And Robust Search Solution
CrunchIndex provides your organization with the ability to crawl and search for data specifically relevant to your mission. Users have full control over how a crawl is conducted, what data is consumed and how that data is later analyzed and presented to the user. CrunchIndex can be used not only a search engine but also as a data collection tool, market research tool and a powerful news analysis tool. Having your own private search engine tailored specifically to your needs allows your organization to link together many disparate groups of data to all be searched using a unified method. CrunchIndex can crawl databases, file systems and various other search sources just like it would crawl web resources. Combined with CrunchIndex’s indexing plugins and page extraction features you will be able to solve your enterprise search problems once and for all.
CrunchCloud – A Managed Search Solution
Running a search engine can be a daunting task because of the scale of data being crawled, the amount of data being stored and the need to crunch through large amounts of data quickly. CrunchIndex can be operated and manged internally by your organization allowing you full control over the CrunchIndex server. If you don’t want to manage your own CrunchIndex servers we can help. CrunchIndex can be offered as a service through our CrunchCloud service. CrunchIndex instances can be created on demand and linked with your corporate network via VPN to allow you to access your personal CrunchIndex service. With the CrunchCloud, we manage the server while you manage the crawls and searches. If we see a problem, we’ll proactively look into the issue to ensure service is not interrupted. The advantage of CrunchCloud is that the CrunchIndex environment will scale with your needs. Crawling may occur in cycles, which means that the CrunchIndex environment can shrink and expand depending on needs. Licenses can also be configured to expand and contract based on demand. Crunch only the data you need when you need it.

Managed Crawling & Indexing All in One
CrunchIndex can be installed and configured to run on physical hardware managed by your organization or you can activate a CrunchCloud instance and we’ll manage the CrunchIndex server for you. A Crunch Index environemnt can be comprised of components hosted and manged locally with in your organization and other components can be configured to run in the CrunchCloud. This gives users a lot of flexibility interms of disaster recovery, scaleability and redundancy. If need be, CrunchCloud environments can expand and contract depending on needs. For example, if your organization requires massive crawls to be done once a quarter, the CrunchCloud deployment can expand temporarily until the crawl and index is complete at which time the environment will scale down to a smaller size. This allows you full control over how an environment utilizes it’s licenses. Allowing you to only pay for what you need.
Custom Data for Niche Requirements.
One of CrunchIndex’s most powerful features is it’s page extraction language, indexing plugins and crawl control options. CrunchIndex can be configured to scour vast data resources for a specific list of terms or conditions. When encountered, the data can be transformed, re-organized and classified for later use in searches. Depending on how the data is structured, you may require a specific way of indexing the data or displaying the data. This can be done with CrunchIndex’s extensible index plugin framework. CrunchIndex has a growing selection of indexing plugins and you also have the ability to write your own and share it with other users as well
