The amount of information available to and used by the whole society and singleindividuals is growing steadily. In the business sector this process is much moretangible and perceptible. Structuring information and managing the knowledgedatabase within one company have long since become a burning issue. Withoutappropriate tools the cumulative knowledge resources are nothing more than scantyinformation, and searching the required bits and pieces in various data sources,among documents of various formats is a tedious and at times virtually insolubleproblem. As a result, many documents are constantly replicated and reproduced fromscratch, the knowledge gets irretrievably lost, and the efforts keep mounting.
 The search technologies delivered by the SoftInform Company (SoftInform SearchTechnology) and, in particular, the unique technology of searching documents withcontent similar to query in the best way possible fall into the pattern of corporateinformation systems and serve as a well coordinated complement to theirfunctionality. This technology presents an enormous potential. Some of the basicstrengths include reduced time for searching documents, solution to the problems offuzzy informational content, consolidating information from various resources andgenerating a report on the similarity of documents already stored in the database,that is, detecting duplicate documents. Building one of the key features of ourtechnology (search similar) into the information management system Hummingbird DM isjust the first step in the process of integration, the primary objective of which isthe creation of a comprehensive information system based on the solutions fromHummingbird and SoftInform. A system of this kind will equip any company with astreamlined solution to any  dataware problems.
