PRINCETON, N.J., Mar. 6, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- LikeIt(r) software, recently developed by Netrics, Inc., uses patented technology to perform accurate data searches, even though the search query may contain spelling errors, typos, and even partial words. With LikeIt, the search query does not have to be exact or precise, and the software provides greater than 99 percent data search accuracy, even when spelling errors or typos are present.
"Users can now write a search query by typing in what they mean or what they think is correct," explained Dr. Stefanos Damianakis, president and CEO of Netrics.
"LikeIt software finds similar, not just precise, matches and reduces the time that users would normally spend on unproductive searches.
"The software reasons the way people do," he added. LikeIt software returns accurate results, even when errors are present in either the query or source data. No special query syntax is required with LikeIt, making it easy for non-technical and multi-lingual users to find the information they need.
LikeIt does not require reconfiguration of your existing architecture for installation, and readily interfaces with virtually any database system, spreadsheet or data file format.
