Strengthening open source search

DieselPoint has officially announced its new open source product, OpenPipeline.

OpenPipeline is designed to tie together otherwise incomplete solutions for enterprise search and document processing. It provides a common architecture for connectors to data sources, file filters, text analyzers and modules to distribute documents across a network. The software includes a job scheduler and a full UI with a point-and-click interface.

It comes fully functional with pre-built components, but also integrates third-party modules. Plugins for crawling content management systems, parsing special file formats and performing text analytics are available.
