Search & Match Engine - Technical Specifications

Textkernel has the most robust Search & Match engine because we’ve spent decades perfecting it. Our engine’s technical specifications are detailed below so you can see exactly what to expect when using our premier matching technology — from integration to output.

Deployment	100% Cloud-hosted solution.
Integration	Available as a cloud-based service via a REST API. Official, open-source SDKs are available for some languages.
Stability	Built-in monitoring to automatically detect and repair corrupted indexes. Data is automatically partitioned for performance and archiving.
Scalability	Runs on Amazon AWS, scales both vertically and horizontally and has no document limits.

Compatibility	The Textkernel Search & Match Engine works with the Textkernel CV/Resume Parser and the Textkernel Job Parser to provide advanced matching capabilities between a source document and candidates.
Distinctive Features	Our engine leverages our proprietary Search & Match algorithm that uses profiles rather than keywords. It's the only engine that allows hybrid Boolean/Semantic searches.
Configurable Categories	Each matching transaction has a user-configurable set of categories that influence the overall score, which allows the engine to be fine-tuned to better serve applications across multiple industries. Categories include: Certifications Education Employers Executive Type Job Titles Languages Management Level Skills Taxonomies Experience Range
Transaction Output	Output includes a list of results ordered in descending order of the overall score. Scores are broken out by category for each match and include analysis messages that describe a transaction.
Matching Directions	Resume : Job (Find the best matching jobs for a resume) Job : Resume (Find the best matching resumes for a job) Resume : Resume (Find resumes similar to this one Job : Job (Find jobs similar to this one)
Semantic Searches	Can be built using an object, or queries can be hand-rolled (actual query strings).
Data Replication	Replicates your most recent data for performance and high availability.
Speed	Median search times are less than 250 ms. Median matching transaction times are less than 500 ms.
Scoring	Our Search & Match Engine provides absolute scoring, where the best match is reported at its true score from 0-100. We also report sub-scores by different categories of data.
Search Filtering	Supports user specified data fields for searching/filtering.
Semantic Indexing of Data	Data Indexed: Document ID Document language User specified data fields Country Region Municipality Postal code Location Skills Certifications Licenses Languages Position title Employer Years of work experience Years of management experience Executive type Current management level Education School name Degree name Degree major Degree type Minimum degree level Minimum GPA Graduation status Revision date
