“The best indexing program I've found is dtSearch” — Effective Discovery of Email. Read this comprehensive computer forensics article on emails at www.civildiscovery.com.


“dtSearch is a clear winner.”— Legal Times


“LITIGATION SUPPORT... In a recent case, I used dtSearch on a document population that was close to 3 gigabytes in size; the program handled it very nicely ... Imagine having to search manually through the hard-copy equivalent of 3 gigs of data! It probably would take weeks... There is no quicker way to find a needle in a digital haystack.”  The Lawyer's PC (Published by West Group).


“For finding data on my office systems, I use dtSearch.” dtSearch is a “search engine that creates indices of the files on your various hard drives, network drives, and CD drives, as well as websites of your choice.”  California Lawyer (Technicalities column)


“A fantastic program.” dtSearch now “lets you expand your research across multiple web sites. This is a great program and it keep getting better.” — The Docket


To the Editor's Choice, Law Office Computing review (first column), add a new parenthetical after the publication name (before Editor's Choice):
— Law Office Computing (“Software Shoot-Out”)


“More than a search tool, dtSearch is an application that lawyers can use for electronic discovery and management of electronic documents.”  dtSearch's “power and versatility were the reasons I kept thinking of e-discovery as I tested dtSearch. The Dec. 1 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure underscore the obligation of parties in litigation to provide electronic data in discovery.  That means finding the data. And finding it requires a powerful and versatile search tool ... dtSearch includes features specifically designed for corporate and forensic applications ... Once the index is created, searching is every bit as fast as the company promises.” — LegalLine Blog (by Robert Ambrogi, a Massachusetts lawyer, writer and media consultant, and the author of the The Essential Guide to the Best (and Worst) Legal Sites on the Web)


dtSearch “algorithms provide unrivaled power and capabilities ... the program raises the bar in text retrieval, providing an industrial strength search engine that is an absolute must-have for Web-based data information management ... dtSearch outmaneuvers the competition. It's a robust, sophisticated and powerful text-search tool ... If you want speed and accuracy, dtSearch is the only way to go.” — Law Office Computing, “The Search Is On” article


dtSearch “is a must-have tool for anyone reviewing electronic information in native format ... dtSearch reduces costs of document production, narrows a collection to key electronic files for a document production vendor and copies files to an alternate repository for in-house native file production.” — Law Office Computing

dtSearch ... does an excellent job of finding needles in haystacks that come in a wide variety of file formats ... works quickly with a wide variety of search modes ... But the most intriguing new feature I saw was the ability to index public sites on the Web ... Web sites often have a built in index or search program, but I’ve found that dtSearch lets me find things on some sites that I couldn’t find using the built-in program.”  Barry Bayer, Law Office Technology Review, reprinted at www.law.com
