User Thesaurus Plus

Create multiple 'user defined thesaurus' and Macro files for use with dtSearch and change the User Synonyms file in use by dtSearch Desktop/Network to get more focused search results.


The user thesaurus built-in to dtSearch Desktop is used to supplement the included WordNet Thesaurus, for example to add alternative words in other languages, specialised terms, local jargon, brand names and so on, but it can only work with a single file, User Thesaurus Plus lets you create multiple files so that you can choose from many smaller files for highly specific purposes, for example:

1) Search for every mention of a persons name, add all alternative spellings, aliases, maiden names, diminutives, or nicknames in a synonym group so that your search for any one of the names will find all variants.

2) Enhance recall where the built in stemming and WordNet may not handle particular words, for example irregular verbs and nouns in English.*

3) Cross-lingual information retrieval (CLIR). For example you might be using the spider to search on news Web sites in different languages for people, places, events or products - you can enter translated or transliterated forms of the words in synonym groups.

* User Thesaurus Plus comes with over 20 thesaurus XML files, currently these include English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian irregular verbs; English irregular nouns; names with multiple variants in different scripts (i.e. Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic); Months and Days in over 20 languages; samples for legal, medical, trade terminology, etc.
