Technology
Search! combines internal matching and sourcing of external databases (federated search). Search! includes both exact filtering and fuzzy and weighted results. This combination enables Textkernel to rank the results relevantly.

The user interface of Search! takes the complexity out of searching. Without any technical training, you can easily find the best candidate with the right combination of criteria. The various search features are set out below.

Search! can be integrated in practically all software systems. It can be customised as follows:
Search screen in house style
The search screen in Search! can be adapted to your house style using CSS. This can then be seamlessly integrated into your existing application by means of an iframe.
Searching with API
You can also use your own search screen. You then use the Search! API (via SOAP or JSON) to download the search results and display them in your application.
Data transfers
Your CVs and/or vacancies, complete with database fields, can be transferred to Search! as XML using the SOAP index webservice.
Link to your existing system
The authentication and authorisation module is linked to your existing system by means of a single web service. That means you do not have to multiple databases and you have exactly the same access rights in Search!
Addition of external database(s) and social media
With configuration files it is easy to add external search sources and social media.
Link to Extract!
You can obtain maximum results with the semantic search option if you also use our Extract! HR application. Additional information is then linked to your CVs or vacancies.
