25+ Search Options; Advanced Data Classification. The dtSearch product line offers over 25 search options, ranging from basic search types, to full-text and/or fielded data positive and negative variable term weighting, to special search options for forensically-recovered data. In the dtSearch Engine, a wide range of API filters and objects support additional categorization via document full-text contents, document fielded data, database content, or data attributes attached during document indexing.

International Language Support. dtSearch products support Unicode, including support for right-to-left languages, and special Chinese/Japanese/Korean character options.
