| | | Time Saver..
Sherry Thomas ( IBM India )
FTS is the best thing that happened to Lotus Notes and continues to be.
I use FTSM at least 10 times everyday. I use it specifically when I am not
sure when I received a note. For other searches I rely on the in-built
indexed search.
Each time I used FTSM, I get what I was looking for in about 60s, whereas
without FTSM I would end up opening each archive and searching therein
taking about 60s per search per archive including the time to open the
archive. I have 20 such archives @ 1/month.
Savings:
1 search on FTSM = 60s
1 search w/o FTSM = 1200s (avg to 600s as I may not have to search all 20)
Saving/search = 540s or 0.15 hrs
10 searches on FTSM = 600s
10 searches w/o FTSM = 12000s (avg to 6000s as I may not have to search all
20)
Saving = 5400s or 1.5 hrs

| | | Google-like Search for Domino!
Brent Nye ( Los Alamos National Security )
Notes/Domino search functionality has lagged behind the web since the arrival of Google. FT Search Manager now brings Notes & Domino into the 21st century with its simple configuration, easy-to-use interface, and customizable, intuitive search results. In addition, the fact that FT Search Manager is completely Notes native makes it a snap to deploy with our existing solutions with no executables or third-party installers required. FT Search Manager is really the "killer app" we have been searching for.
Beyond the initial effectiveness of the tool, perhaps the most valuable aspect of doing business with IONET has been their willingness to customize the application to perform specific functionality. While this functionality is obscure and unlikely to be used widely, it is a tremendous benefit to most of our customers.
IONET's FT Search Manager allows us to meet a mission-critical need for several of our largest customers. IONET has provided a tool that we were A) unable to effectively develop in-house and B) unable to find from other IBM Business Partners or third-party vendors. I found nothing that can compare with FT Search Manager's flexibility, ease of use, stability, and quality of results. It is the only multi-database search tool I will recommend to associates or other businesses using Lotus Notes & Domino.

We used this product in lieu of the standard domain search feature. In comparison, FT Search Manager has many additional features and is very customizable. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a Notes/Domino search engine.

Tedy Abramovici ( International Financial Data Services )
The company keeps improving the FT search all the time and keeps me informed of the new versions. They also have excellent customer support which is keeping us using the product.
I would recommend FT Search to any Domino Administrator. We started using it to search multiple mail journals and the results were very positive. The vendor went to customize the application to match our needs for a reasonable price.

Barbara Hall ( IDC Canada )
We were looking for a search engine that could search multiple LN databases including the attachments within records. FT Search Manager fit the bill perfectly and works like a charm. IONET even customized the search engine for us, making it super easy to use. We can add new databases to search fairly quickly and users can expand or narrow their searches easily. We added database logos to help distinguish where the search results were found. It's a fantastic tool at a reasonable price. We have 7 LN databases linked to the tool and it saves our users time. We couldn't be happier.

| | | Search Multiple Databases
Sue Smith ( mhra )
Because the volume of data in our application is huge we had to split into multiple databases - one is around 20 Gig, another around 25 Gig, and the monster is currently running at just under 50 Gig.
We needed a way of searching all 3 databases at the same time and IONET fit the bill.
Not only can we search across multiple databases but I have been able to customise the search form so that no-one need know a field name, and that helps the customer experience so much.
Despite being in totally different time zones the support has been fantastic and very quick. Any suggestions that we have had to improve the product have been taken on board and delivered in super quick time.

Rebecca Holmberg ( WorldVision US )
We use the Full Text Search Manager on our corporate Intranet site. We were looking for something simple to implement that would give us better features than the native domino search. This product exactly fit the bill! We cannot say enough about the excellent customer service we've received on this product as well. Anytime we have an issue they respond right away with excellent help and suggestions. We are looking forward to implementing more features of this product to help with searching our email archives and mail files in the near future!
