Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction to Search Export. Search Export allows developers to implement sophisticated text extraction from standard business documents. With the current version of Search Export, an application can access documents through a C, Java, or .NET API. Search Export is ideal for a wide spectrum of applications, from rapid search and retrieval to indexing. SearchML presents the text in one of three formats: XML, HTML, or plain text.
