FoxTrot Personal delivers the fastest, most focused and precise way to find data in your files. Based on CTM Development‘s revolutionary FoxTrot search engine - used in more than 41 countries and 24 languages by users of CTM‘s PowerMail - FoxTrot Personal Search brings high performance document retrieval and indexing to your most important files.
For users of Mac OS X 10.6, 10.5 and 10.4, FoxTrot Personal Search extends Spotlight in several ways.
FEATURES
Dynamic categorization In order to "zero in" on the documents which really mat- ter, FoxTrot lets you narrow the number of hits by clicking on several categories, which are dynamically generated based on the information and content of found files. This advanced process, derived from scientific investigation
techniques, lets you successively tag hits by file kind, age or parent folder. Dynamic categorization is a unique FoxTrot feature.
Flexible relevance ranking Typical searches yield too many results: FoxTrot Perso- nal Search‘s exclusive ranking mechanism weighs each search result, and displays most relevant documents first. If you‘re overwhelmed by the number of matches, a slider setting will repeat the search with a more discriminating eye.
Wildcards, exclusions and more Searches are performed on full words by default; they can be made to include: - words "beginning with" given characters - all words in a search string - at least one of the words - an exact phrase or portion of sentence - any term except as well as complex search patterns combining several criteria.
