		Geneva, Switzerland - CTM Development today is proud to announce 
FoxTrot Professional Search 2.5, an update to their popular document 
indexing and retrieval solution for Mac OS X. Perfect for anyone who 
works with saved documents for future reference, FoxTrot Professional 
Search helps locate documents and their contents using multiple 
categorization of search results, ranked by relevance. 
 
FoxTrot Professional Search is a powerful find-by-content solution 
that offers precision tools for finding the proverbial "needle in a 
haystack" directly within PDF, HTML, word processing, e-mail and rich- 
media content and metadata. The product has been especially well 
received in legal (law firm and courts), media (newsrooms researchers, 
ad agencies and editors), mobile contexts (MacBook users with document 
collections) as well as by casual users stepping up from FoxTrot 
Personal Search or Apple's Spotlight. 
 
By leveraging and extending Mac OS X's built-in Spotlight 
capabilities, FoxTrot Professional Search utilizes the latest Snow 
Leopard technologies, featuring document preview and full view 
capabilities, with secondary document-level search features. Users can 
manage multiple indexed collections effortlessly and time search index 
updates without even launching the application. 
 
Feature Highlights: 
* Multiple categories of relevance-ranked results 
* Document preview and full view, with secondary document-level search 
* Multiple indexed collections and timed updates without launching the 
application 
* Client-server access to peer-to-peer FoxTrot Professional 
applications and dedicated FoxTrot Search servers 
* Worldwide Unicode language support 
 
"CTM Development has been creating search and collaboration software 
since the first multi-platform Swiss telephone directories back in 
1987, and search has been an important part of CTM PowerMail since its 
inception in 1995," said Jean-Michel Karr, co-founder of CTM 
Development SA. "CTM FoxTrot Professional is the culmination of many 
years of focus on find-by-content." 
 
FoxTrot Professional Search builds on years of experience in search 
functionality refined within CTM's PowerMail and FoxTrot Personal 
Search products, which continue to be enhanced. Version 2.5 introduces 
higher performance, an expanded timeline categorization as well as 
networked sharing of indexes: 
 
When customers purchase a 5-user license, the application 
automatically acts as a peer-to-peer indexing server. 
 
With a 10-user license (or more), customers receive a full fledged 
client-server product with a server component that can be deployed any 
Mac OS X or Windows 7/Vista/XP with file sharing enabled, as well as 
on Xserve and the new Mac mini Server or Windows Server 2003, Windows 
Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. This makes FoxTrot 
Professional Search particularly suited in networked environments 
where sharing archived documents and metadata is paramount. 
 
Minimum Requirements: 
* Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 Tiger or later (Snow Leopard compatible) 
* Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel 
* FoxTrot Professional Search & FoxTrot Search Admin supports Mac OS X 
or Mac OS X Server 10.4.11, 10.5 or 10.6 
* FoxTrot Search Server supports Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.4.11, 
10.5 or 10.6, and also includes a slightly narrower focus Server

PDF, Word and text documents
