Technical Specifications🔗︎
Search & Match Engine🔗︎
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. |
| Input Formats | Parsed document input supported in JSON or XML format. |
| 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:
|
| 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 | Sub second matching/searching transaction times. |
| 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:
