IDRISI (Intelligent Document Retrieval & Information Search) is a bilingual Arabic-English search engine for electronic data, documents, databases and websites. Powered by Sakhr’s proprietary Arabic natural language processing (NLP) technology, IDRISI provides an Arabic language search capability unique in range and flexibility.
The IDRISI search engine enables organizations to draw a complete, accurate, secure and intelligent view of all their information in file systems, websites, databases, or knowledge bases.

Powerful search using NLP
The IDRISI search engine utilizes NLP for spelling corrections, morphological analysis, and disambiguation, allowing users to perform Arabic-language searches, based on stem, root and derivatives on large volumes of data to obtain accurate search results.

Multiple data sources
IDRISI can process different types of data stores, including:

• File System
• Database
• Remote site
• Any data source fed to IDRISI by other applications

Web interface
IDRISI supports all functionality as a Web service. This web interface allows organizations to build and distribute their search applications remotely.

Extensibility via XML
Using IDRISI with XML support, users can easily search for specific information within the content of a specific element.

Integration via SDK
IDRISI provides developers with a complete standard Software Development Kit (SDK) for easy integration with other applications, using either web service, COM+, DCOM interface.

Name Search
IDRISI includes the Name Search online service, which enables companies to build their own databases of names, telephone numbers and addresses. IDRISI can search through these with high speed.

Transliteration Search
IDRISI supports transliteration search – searching for the corresponding Arabic characters of the English search term, and vice versa. For example, when you search for "Sherihan", the search results will include "Sherihan" and "شريهان".
