Search software vendor, ISYS Search Software, has won a deal with the Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel, which has chosen ISYS:web 7 to provide advanced search and retrieval of Queensland legislation via its public website.

Presented in six distinct collections of PDFs, Queenslands legislation is accessible via its website. Through this interface, citizens can search across vast repositories of PDFs and pinpoint precise information via ISYS:webҒs PDF search capabilities.

We required a search engine that could serve as the technology centrepiece of our site,Ӕ said Simon Bourne, acting IT manager, Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel. For research purposes, we needed the ability to search and locate phrases with a particular meaning in legislation, while not finding other instances of these terms outside of that context. This meant searching every word, and with more than 21,000 documents comprising 250 million words, we knew this solution needed to be highly scalable and accurate. Not only did ISYS:web provide this functionality at a realistic price, but more importantly its support for PDF searching couldnӒt have been better suited for our needs.
