VectorSpace DataBase (VSDB)

VSDB provides high speed, scalable search capabilities for your project, working alongside your SQL back-end. Instead of a boolean match like SQL, it finds "fuzzy" matches with a score of 0 to 1.
 

How can VSDB's fuzzy-search help your project?

Live Demo

BigAtticHouse KnowledgeBase - We've created an Ajax-based version of our knowledgebase product using VSDB and php. Pre-loaded with a subset of Microsoft Knowledgebase articles, registered users can add items of their own and search other user's input.
Wallcloud builds a cluster analysis of around 100,000 blogs+ (adding more each week) and displays common groupings of blog tag "phrases". This process runs offline, and uploads the results to the wallcloud website.

VSDB and Web-based Projects

Website Database Search In about 10 minutes you could add single textbox search capabilities to your website using our PHP include files and a VSDB server. Imagine allowing your users to search your database based on multiple fields and values, much like professional search engines do, at a fraction of the cost of a server appliance.
Recommendation Systems Imagine allowing your customers to see recommended items to order based on their ordering history, compared to other users of the website - or based on the properties of the items themselves.
Web 2.0 Search With some code examples and techniques, you can build Web 2.0 search systems that show results while your customers are still picking their options. The customer can then immediately change their search criteria based on the information provided.

VSDB and SQL Projects

Simplified Search Why bother with bulky SQL FIELD like '%somekeyword%'-style queries? VSDB gives you "fire and forget" indexing and search capabilities. Simply create your vector based on the fields you wish to allow search on, and query to get scored results. Server and DLL/SDK versions of VSDB allow you to deploy easily. Code base runs on Linux as well as Microsoft Windows, allowing you the complete flexibility you require.
Create Adaptive Systems Got a lot of complex situations in your business logic? By creating vectors based on the data, you can create a system that will suggest answers to problems before they occur. Build powerful KnowledgeBase or Knowledge transfer systems. Build call center applications that can adapt the script to changing situations, VSDB provides a power back end system that can scale to your needs.

VSDB and XML

Carte Blanche Indexing Capabilities VSDB simplifies complex searches of multivariate and unstructured data. VSDB has no preconceptions on the data it searches or clusters, so you can create custom mappings to the data within your XML projects to index. An Entire XML document per vector, or just a sub section - its up to you.
