Flax Basic is a simple enterprise search system, designed to allow you to build searchable indexes of files on your PC, intranet or website. It is based on the Flax enterprise search solution platform developed by Lemur Consulting Ltd. and is an open-source application (i.e., the source code is freely downloadable). As such, Flax Basic can be downloaded and installed at no charge on as many computers as required.
Flax Basic builds a high-performance custom database of the documents you choose, and allows you to search them very quickly and accurately. Flax Basic can read documents in Microsoft Office format, web pages in HTML, Adobe Acrobat (PDF) documents and Rich Text Format (RTF) and automatically extract the text. Flax Basic also provides automatic query spelling correction and ranks results in order of relevance.
Unlike other products, Flax Basic does not put a limit on how many documents can be indexed and this is only limited by the amount of disk space and memory available. Flax Basic is controlled via a password-protected web page interface.
