SearchBlox

As you can see clearly in the name, this is a search software, it is java based, open source and it runs on Windows and Linux, very easy to install and it offers a good administration interface. Having the right tools to find information when required is the key to productivity inside a company. Every minute spent searching for the right document, image or folder is a minute wasted because finding files is not productive. Finding files should be a piece of cake so that the user has time to DO things with those files.

I think that even good software have a weak side. The worst part about using SearchBlox is that the price could be a little high. If you are starting, this is for sure a problem, because budgets tends to be small. However, SearchBlox has a lot of features that really compensate this bad part.

Any kind of content that contains metadata can be found using Searchblox. The first and most important step is setting your folder paths and root URLs and the software does the rest. It is very easy to use, its intuitive design helps the user install it and integrate it into your website or application. You can also check reports through the admin console, one of the best features of this product.
