Original Press Release:
Searching through DotNetNuke and More
Venexus, Inc., a leading Business Service Provider, has released a new version of its Search Engine for DotNetNuke-enabled web sites.
RALEIGH, N.C., June 5, 2007 -- Venexus, Inc., a leading Business Service Provider, has released Venexus Search Engine 2.0, a new version of its full-blown search engine for web sites and portals that use the DotNetNuke Web Application Framework.
The Venexus Search Engine is comprised of two modules: Seamus and Search. The Seamus module is the crawler/spider service that aggregates content for the engine. The Search module provides the search form and the results of the query. Combined, these modules provide a powerful search engine for DotNetNuke sites with the added functionality to aggregate and index valuable data from non-DotNetNuke sites as well.
"As a framework, DotNetNuke has grown in popularity, and our newly launched search engine has become a popular set of modules for many DotNetNuke sites," said Jeff Smith, Founder and CEO of Venexus. "Since the first release earlier this year, we have listened to our clients and have expanded the abilities of our search engine with many new features."
"In the previous release, we added the ability to index all of the most popular document types, including Excel, HTML, PDF, PowerPoint, Text, Word, and XML files," says Mr. Smith.
"We also added search engine optimization features, like a complete portal RSS feed for all new and updated content, blog/feed aggregator pinging, and social book-marking of search results using many of the most popular social networks. In this latest release, we added file system indexing using the DotNetNuke folders and files architecture with integrated security, DNNAutoSuggest functionality for the search box, and many other features and tweaks."
The latest release of Venexus Search also utilizes the new version of the EntitySpaces architecture, EntitySpaces 2007.
EntitySpaces 2007 supports .Net Medium Trust operation. This opens the door for many users who may be using shared hosting and are currently limited by their hosting providers to medium trust environments. "EntitySpaces has allowed us to quickly absorb data schema changes and guarantees that our clients receive the quality software they demand through rigorous unit testing of both the EntitySpaces assemblies and generated code," said Scott Schecter, CTO of Venexus.
"This flexibility has made EntitySpaces an invaluable tool in our development process, and is central to our agile methodologies."
Venexus offers two versions of the search Engine - a Standard (free) version and the Pro version. The Venexus Search Engine requires DotNetNuke 4.3.7 or higher (including version 4.5.3), and Microsoft SQL Server supporting Full-Text Indexing. A demo of the modules is available at search.venexus.com.
