askSam Systems has been developing some of the worlds most popular text-database and publishing tools.

askSam is a different kind of database -- it's a whole new way to manage information. askSam requires no pre-defined structure or field lengths.

Add notes and descriptions to your databases.

Turn e-mail, texts, and Internet information into searchable databases. askSam is easy to use. You can search without learning a query language. You can create reports without programming.

askSam was designed for users, not for programmers. askSam searches are fast, powerful, and easy.

Type in any word or phrase, and askSam finds it... anywhere in your database. No complicated query language. No need to remember what field contains what information.

Here are some key features of "askSam":

· askSam is extremely flexible in dealing with data. Information is stored in documents rather than in tables, and the database can return specific fields, document fragments, or all data from a document. askSam can return data as text, HTML, or RTF.
· askSam has features to simplify working with unstructured data. Structure inherent in documents (for example words like "To:", "From:", and "Subject:" in an email message) can be used as fields by askSam. askSam allows documents with different structures to be stored in a database.
· AskSam uses a powerful and efficient indexing routine to make all information in a database instantly accessible. AskSam searches through huge databases instantly. In addition, askSam offers a wide variety of searches: full-text, date, numeric, proximity, fuzzy.
· Search results can include document names, specific fields, hit content, and fragments from a document. The results can be sorted by relevancy, date, or by any other field.
· Powerful reporting features are built into askSam. askSam can group and sort data, total fields.


Limitations:

· 30 days trial.
