Latest updates

• New Windows build: V8.0 build 1026 (2 Oct 2024)
• New Linux build: V7.1 build 1004 (2 Feb 2018)

Version 8.0 for Windows released! (28 Feb 2019)

The most refined and comprehensive search engine solution yet. Including many requested features such as:

• Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Index and search for text that appear in images and PDF documents (Win 10 only)
• Multi-threaded Offline Indexing: Up to 3x faster offline indexing!
• Broad numeric matching: Allow for better searching of currency values and part numbers (e.g. $12,300.99 will match 12300 and 12300.99)
• Performance optimizations: Overall indexing speed and memory usage has been optimized, to index more pages and faster than previous versions.
• New revamped FTP engine featuring SFTP and FTPS (SSL/TLS) support
• http:// and https:// URL insensitivity: Better support for sites which switch between HTTP and HTTPS.
• 64-bit indexer is now available in all editions and automatically installed depending on system.
• Many other bug fixes and improvements.

Version 7.1 for Windows released! (12 Jan 2016)

This free upgrade from V7.0 has increased indexing capacity from 16 million base words to 200 million(!) base words.

We have optimized and refined Zoom V7 to index significantly more content (that's a 12x capacity increase!) and also index much faster than before (up to 5x performance gain).

Along with many bug fixes, improvements for language support and one of the most comprehensive file format support -- Zoom V7.1 is a culmination of over 13 years of continual commitment and development to creating a world-class search engine solution for web developers everywhere, from enthusiasts to professional developers to enterprise sites and Intranets.

Version 7.0 released! (30 April 2014)

Version 7 brings Zoom to a new level of platform flexibility and usage possibilities for all web developers -- from enthusiast web sites to enterprise scale operations.

The indexer is now available for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), Linux, and Mac OS X. This means you can now manage and index your search engine from any of these platforms, opening up a world of possibilities when installed on the web server**

New search features introduced in V7 include:

• Autocomplete search box: As you type in the search box, suggestions based on popular searches will appear to autocomplete the query ("Configure"->"Autocomplete")
• Date range searching: You can now specify a date range at search time with a dropdown date selection box. ("Configure"->"Search Page"->"Enable Date Range searching")
• No more "Max. unique words" limit: We've made some big changes in the engine to allow for dynamic allocation of memory for unique words. This is much more memory efficient for everybody, but most importantly, a big benefit for people who find it hard to determine the number of unique words needed for their site (previously requiring many attempts at indexing).
• PDF, DOC, XLS, PPT (and all supported file formats) indexing now available for Free Edition!
• Built-in plugin support: Plugins are no longer a separate download and are available with every edition.
• Standard Edition discontinued: Please see new edition details. Users eligible for a free upgrade from V6 Standard Edition, will get a free upgrade to V7 Pro Edition.
• Improved ASP.NET Server Control supporting postbacks and viewstates (download V7 ASP.NET Server Control here). Only needed if you are using the ASP.NET platform option.
• Email file formats now supported (.PST, .MBOX, .DBX, .EML, .MSG). Useful for Intranet search engines.
• URL indexing: Now indexing the URL (domain name) and the path (folder names) in the URL. ("Configure"->"Indexing options")
• Search by site: Now supporting "site:" and "url:" search syntax, e.g. a search for "beagle site:mydogs.com" will search for all beagles on the mydogs.com domain only.
• Domain diversity: Ensure the first 3 results come from different domains ("Configure"->"Search Page"). Useful for search engines indexing more than one site.
• Scan files with unknown extensions: Analyzes files of unrecognizable file extensions to determine how to index them. Useful on "deep searching" external web sites.
• OpenDocument support: Supports OpenOffice/KOffice/GoogleOffice, etc. files.
• Media file support: Supports indexing meta data from AVI, WMV, MPG, RMV, FLV, MOV, QT, WAV files.
• Page and folder skip list now has a case insensitive option as popularly requested
• Plugin timeout allows you to force abort processing a file if the plugin takes too long to complete (usually due to a corrupt or problematic file)
• Scan file with unknown extensions will analyse any unrecognized file extension and attempt to index it accordingly (e.g. can detect a JPEG that has been misnamed as a .bin, etc.)
• Results can now be sorted by Relevancy, Date (newest first) and Date (oldest first) with a user configurable default
• Index options for URL domain and URL path: Search for words that appear within the URL or folder name.
• Can now be configured to index e-mail addresses (Word join rules: @ sign and dots)
• Improved automatic cookie-based login: You can specify additional parameters (besides the login and password) to login to a form-based / cookie / session based login page. This allows you to login to most form based secured web sites.
• New HTTP engine for Spider Mode crawling. Faster and uses less memory than previous HTTP engine.
• SSL and HTTPS now supported in Spider Mode.
• Integrated Windows Authentication (NTLM) supported
• Improved spider crawling and indexing engine: Finds more links, crawls faster, uses less memory.
• Improved performance in offline indexing: plugin supported file format indexing is much faster than before, particularly for larger files.
• Improved spelling suggestions for words with more than 3 syllables.
• Fixed many bugs

** The Linux release can be administered via a web interface, so when installed on a web server, you can manage and re-index your site remotely and on-demand, via the web. The Windows version can also be installed on an IIS server with necessary permissions and Remote Desktop access.
