Overview

IIR provides several "out of the box" search clients that may be used as soon as a system has been defined and loaded. Although you are free to create your own customized search clients using the IIR Search API, these clients provide facilities to quickly utilize and/or deploy search functionality without any coding.

Online Search Clients

Online Search Clients dynamically adjust their dialogues based on the Search-Definitions defined in the Rulebase. There are three main categories of online clients:

Deployable search clients are restricted in functionality. They are used to quickly deploy fixed search capabilities to end-users. These clients cannot switch between searches or change search strategies.

Administrator search clients are intended to be used by an IIR Designer / Administrator. They are functionally rich and provide access to all searches and search/match strategies defined in a system. They also contain tracing and debugging facilities to help tune searches.

Web: Any web browser that is pointed to the IIR HTTP Server can act as a search client.
