What's New in SAS Information Retrieval Studio 12.1

General Enhancements

New and enhanced features in SAS Information Retrieval Studio enable you to do the following:
  • Install the SAS Web Crawler, SAS Search and Indexing, and SAS Document Conversion Server with SAS Information Retrieval Studio. Crawling and search are conditionally enabled based on the SAS solutions you license.
  • Create multiple information retrieval projects using a single installation.
  • Use virtual indexing, in which automatic segmentation and federation enable search indexes to scale beyond the limits of a single machine.
  • Use Markup Matcher to extract fielded data from HTML or XML documents on a specific site. This component includes a point-and-click user interface to edit and test your matchers, along with support for XPath and regular expression rules.
  • Choose incremental recrawling or limit transversal depth when you use the Web Crawler.
