KeyView IDOL

Typically all enterprises will have a unique blend of databases, content management systems and off-the-shelf as well as custom applications. This leads to a wide variety of file formats and data types. Therefore it is not enough for the search technology to simply connect to the repositories through its connectors. Once connected, it must also have the proper filtering technology to extract content from the assortment of files that reside in the repositories.

Autonomy's IDOL and Verity's KeyView each supported hundreds of file formats prior to Autonomy's acquisition of Verity in 2005. The combination of two products has led to the emergence of Autonomy's KeyView IDOL as the definitive market leader in file filtering technology. Autonomy continues to uniquely invest significant R&D to the challenging problem of improving file filtering and transformation.

KeyView IDOL extracts text, metadata and other relevant properties from over 1000 file formats on numerous platforms, leading to complete indexing of the entire enterprise corpus in a single index. Not only does this include all popular word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation formats, rich media files and files embedded within files, such as email attachments or embedded OLE objects, can also be extracted. Filters automatically recognize the file type being filtered and uses the appropriate filter without depending on unreliable filename extensions.
