Database Offloading accomplishes just those things. In essence, it takes over a job that a database was never really designed for in the first place. The syntax and style of the database query language (typically SQL) was designed for transactions, precision, and essentially for a software program to communicate with a data collection. Search engines, on the other hand, were designed for people to find information. They come with some nice benefits that database searches do not like:

• Linguistic helps
  • Help with misspellings
  • Word stemming to capture variations on the same terms
• Navigation guides
  • Facets, topics, or category filtering
  • Dynamic clustering based on search terms

Additional benefits can also be added to improve discovery

• Synonym lists
• Taxonomy navigation
• Tagging

Features can also be added to provide value added services on the data

• Topic alerts
• Finding similar documents
• Reviewing documents
• Bookmarking and sharing documents

The beauty of all of this is that because of the intrinsic architecture of a search platform the solution has some wonderful side benefits

• Queries are much more efficient, in some cases 100 times faster
• Less hardware is necessary
• There is no limitation by or knowledge needed of the tables, fields, or structure of the database to search it

This all adds up to making the solution

• accessible for everyone,
• providing a better service to the data than before possible, and
• reducing costs.

That sounds great, but you may be still asking

• How do I get the data out of the database and into the search platform
• What about our security?
