Searching eDiscovery Documents

ImageMAKER Discovery Assistant is a feature rich eDiscovery software processing application that allows you to load, search, and process electronically stored documents on your desktop computer. Processed documents can then be imported into your eDiscovery review platform.

Discovery Assistant includes a powerful keyword search feature that allows you to run keyword queries against the deepest hidden data. You can use Discovery Assistant to search email repositories (PST, NSF), message files (MSG, EML), attached documents, embedded documents, loose documents, and zipped file contents (ZIP, RAR) from a single interface. Documents without text (TIFF, scanned PDF, JPEG, GIF) are identified and converted to text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) before being indexed.


To search your data, simply create a new project, add in one or more files or folders to be indexed, build the search index, and then select 'search'.

Support for Batch Search:
Once the search index has been created, you can select 'Batch Search' to enter and search for a list of custom keywords.

Support for OCR search:
Scanned PDF documents, images, graphics, TIFF attachments, and other image files are identified during the start of the process, and can be optionally converted to text using a supported OCR engine before a search index is created. This means your keyword search does not miss anything, even though the original document may have been scanned in as an image, rather than typed.

Detection and Removal of Duplicates:
Exact document duplicates are identified and removed first, before the search indexes are built. De-duplication is done at the message level (identification and removal of duplicate messages) including advanced logic for handling identical attachments.
