Why so fast? Simply because we do support IP Ranges and cascading settings - which drastically reduces time needed to setup a search LAN project!
How LAN Manager works?
He index 1 to N IP Addresses, Hosts and/or N IP Ranges you may need to setup to index. For all computers found on from the collection will crawl all shares set either at root level or for any particular device. We also support excluded hosts - where you may exclude servers, printers, etc.
And just because a picture makes at 1000 words, see below a capture of Geysir LAN Indexer Setup Settings Dashboard:
As you may notice in the above picture you can set in your search project many IP Ranges and for each one you may opt-in for root settings (Username, Password, Domain, Shares) or you can personalize for each range / IP or Host you opt-out so!
Just imagine how convenient is to:
- Be able to search within all important Company Documents - spread over hundreds of computers in few seconds
- Be able to access a File from Bob's computer while his computer is shut down and see its changes history also
- Allow your employees to search inside a whole LAN in a matter of few seconds
- Allow your employees to be more efficient by leveraging EXISTING LAN data - that today you have but is so difficult to use it!
