texis

Texis is the name of a software product family used for data management and information retrieval. In its most common form, Texis combines a relational database with a full-text search engine, providing both structured data storage and rapid text indexing and retrieval. The architecture typically includes a data store for tables and records, a text indexing subsystem, and a query interface that supports SQL-like statements alongside text search predicates. Texis products often offer features such as document indexing, relevance-based ranking, support for multiple languages, data import capabilities, and API access for integration with applications.

Texis has been marketed as a scalable solution for content management, knowledge bases, e-commerce catalogs, intranets, and digital libraries. It is used in environments requiring integrated structured data and search capabilities and may include administrative tools for indexing, querying, and performance tuning. The system is commonly employed to power search-driven interfaces, knowledge repositories, and catalog management tasks where both data and textual content must be retrieved efficiently.

Historically, Texis originated as a specialized database and search engine in the 1990s and has been distributed by multiple vendors under the Texis name. Over time, ownership, licensing models, and platform support have changed, with various versions running on Unix-like systems, Windows, and other environments. The existence of different editions means features and compatibility can vary between releases.

Because “Texis” is a brand name used for different products, users are advised to consult the specific product documentation for details on installation, licensing, supported data types, and query syntax for a given version.
