PowerSearch lets you find your data even if you don’t know the correct spelling, transpose numbers, use abbreviations, or use nicknames or synonyms. PowerSearch allows your database to think like a person.
With PowerSearch, each column has a context, and each context demands a different flexibility. For example:
- A First Name column needs to allow synonyms for given names, equating Bill to William, Beth to Elizabeth, and so forth.
- A Last Name column needs to allow a phonetic or ‘sounds-like’ search.
- An Address column needs to allow misspellings and postal abbreviations.
- A Zip Code column needs to allow a geographic radius search for all zip codes within a certain distance.
- A Phone Number column needs to allow transpositions, and would allow alternative area codes.
- An Email Address column needs to allow alternative spellings, or alternate domain names.
PowerSearch lets you choose the best flexibilities for each column. PowerSearch even allows you to create custom synonym lists that are designed specifically for your data. As a database administrator, you can design the flexibility that you want in your database. In the end, you can help your users find what they are looking for.
