How is Texis different from other search engines?

Texis is the only search engine with the structure of a SQL relational database (rdbms). SQL as used here means Structured Query Language - not Microsoft's product named with that term! SQL is an industry standard defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and its counterpart, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). All major database vendors use SQL as their query language.

SQL provides many advantages for addressing complicated search requirements. It also provides you with the confidence of a reliable, well-defined path for implementing unanticipated new search functionality in the future. SQL is a rich, mature, open standard used by hundreds of thousands of database application developers around the world.

All other search engines provide a much narrower range of capabilities based on proprietary interfaces. No other search engine provides the versatility of using SQL as its application development model.
