TECHNOLOGY

Makros is engineered from ground up to be Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) compatible. The aim is to leverage the performance and the scalability capabilities of J2EE technologies and at the same time, enable Makros users to take advantage of the J2EE software and skills that companies have already invested in. The Makros Architecture consists of several sub-systems designed for optimal performance and scalability.

AJAX-based Admin Console

The Admin Console enables administrators to configure and manage Makros using just a browser. No more properties and configuration files to edit! Everything from creating new collections to setting the number of search results per page is done using the Admin Console. Access to Admin Console is protected so that only the administrator can change the settings. The Admin Console is built using AJAX, Java Server Pages (JSP) and Java Servlet technologies.

Crawler

Makros has built-in file system, HTTP(S) and Feed crawlers. No additional configuration is required to index HTTPS content. In addition, the HTTP(S) crawler can index content protected with BASIC HTTP and Form-based Authentication. The file system and HTTP(S) crawlers support various filters which enable the administrator to specify which content to index and which content to exclude. The Feed Crawlers can automatically handle numerous feed formats. All the crawlers are optimized for performance and can index large amounts of content quickly and efficiently.

Clustered Search Results
Makros has an in-built clustering engine that automatically clusters (groups) search results into dynamic categories. This enables users to access the right information quickly and easily.
