I tested dtSearch Desktop with Spider version 7.77 which adds the ability to “spider” web sites for content. Indexes can be updated manually or you can schedule updates in the dtSearch Index Manager and you can build multiple indexes simultaneously. It also supports Exchange, Outlook, Thunderbird and other popular email types, including multilevel nested attachments and can be interfaced to databases.ĭtSearch can build an index of up to one terabyte in size (obviously the size of the data indexed can be much greater than the size of the index) and you can simultaneously search as many indexes as you please. It’s a Windows-only product that will ingest any text documents you care to throw at it including MS Office files Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and OneNote, as well as other "Office" formats including ZIP, HTML, XML/XSL, and PDF. Given that you’re dealing with Biggish Data (my email archive is 18.5GB containing 296,185 messages in 233 folders) it would be nice to be able to search the collection but at this scale you’re going to need something more powerful than grep: I’d suggest you check out dtSearch.ĭtSearch has been around a long time (1991) and has a lot of organizations both big and small as clients.
So, once you’ve got an archive, what can you do with it? Using Gmail Backup you can restore it to Gmail or another server but what about using the data that’s in your email to understand more about your connections and relationships? A couple of articles ago I wrote about archiving messages in your Gmail account using Gmail Backup.
