TripleHop Technologies announced MatchPoint 3.0, its new enterprise contextual search software. MatchPoint 3.0 combines statistical and semantic analysis to give users increased sensitivity to the context of their query including the user profile and existing enterprise knowledge. MatchPoint 3.0 enhances the sensitivity of a query as it factors in the context of the search. MatchPoint automatically generates a contextual thesaurus as it crawls and indexes enterprise documents, and uses this thesaurus to disambiguate and expand the user query based on existing enterprise knowledge, the user profile and the customer’s work process. MatchPoint’s index architecture gives users immediate access to new documents. The product uses a distributed architecture to create as many “Search Services” as necessary. Each Search Service can have several indexes and each index can be partitioned. User queries are launched into multiple indexes and sub-indexes, and the results are merged through the MatchPoint Federator. This distributed architecture helps handle terabytes of data without substantially degrading response time. www.triplehop.com
