Distributed Search

Distributed Search exposes the functionality of the NameHunter API in the form of a single server process that can accommodate complex and performance-intensive search requirements due to the size of data lists to be searched or the number of search transactions that occur at a given time.

Distributed Search is best suited for loading large data lists, comprising millions of names. However, the application is unable to load multiple data lists into a single search. This limitation prevents clients from searching multiple data lists from a single XML message. If you need to load multiple small data lists into a single server application, you should use the IBM NameWorks embedded search application.

You can interface with Distributed Search directly or through end-user client applications and server applications that are built upon IBM NameWorks.
