WEBBAS performs all searches by building a single WEBBAS table that indexes all the words in the source text and the locations of the words.  This means that most WEBBAS searches never read the text  an important consideration in secure or resource constrained environments.  Reads and writes against WEBBAS index are further minimized by built-in caching and compression technology.  For a stand   alone user's perspective, this speeds up the entire search process.  For network managers, this means that the search minimizes the use of network bandwidth and both client and server CPU cycles.  And by building WEBBAS indexes during off peak hours, the network manager can further free up precious   peak period network resources.

How fast is WEBBAS ?

WEBBAS is going to be significantly faster than conventional search strategies in all cases except when very small amounts of text are being searched.  The largest performance gains are achieved against large amounts of text using complex searches.  Appearing below are some relative database performance benchmarks using local tables and memo fields:

Thus a WEBBAS search averages 1,000 times faster than a ordinary search   against a 10k record table, 2,000 times faster against a 25k record table, etc.  As the number of records increase, conventional search times will rise linearly.  However, WEBBAS searches are generally not affected by the number of records in the table being searched, and therefore the relative advantage of a WEBBAS search will continue to grow as the number of records increases.

WEBBAS   has been designed to be easy to use by the end user, perform full text searches as quickly as possible, and to be compatible with a wide range storage and retrieval options.

End users have grown accustomed to the easy to use search interfaces offered by Internet search sites.  With WEBBAS it is simple to offer this same style of interface whereby the User simply has to type in words.  The end User also has the option of using a more sophisticated using phrases, wild cards, applying And, Or, Not, Near, and Like logic to the search, and/or iteratively narrowing or widening the search.  The search results are returned faster than a conventional search regardless of field type or the location of the word or string in the field.

Search results are typically returned in under one tenth of a second, beating conventional search strategies by more than a thousand fold.  This speed allows the host system to run more efficiently and also allows the end User more time to refine the search or explore other search avenues.

WEBBAS design allows it to work with more types of text.  In many cases, the text being searched is stored in database tables, and WEBBAS is compatible with many leading database engines.

The same kinds of performance gains can be expected when using remote tables.  If the remote table is on a file server, then along with the performance improvement comes significantly lower network traffic.  The same is often true for SQL tables since many queries against a memo field require that the data be brought back to the client for processing.  And even if the query can be processed on the SQL server, WEBBAS can process the search more efficiently on the client with minimal network traffic.
