BlackBall(R) Announces Availability of SearchIn(TM) v4.0 Product Line; Award-winning Company Brings Industrial-Strength Searches to Enterprise Networks.

SAN DIEGO -- BlackBall(R) Inc., a leading provider of data search solutions, today announces SearchIn Server Editions, expanding the current SearchIn product line to include enterprise networks. SearchIn's patent-pending technology enables instant file retrieval, regardless of format. The product is available directly from BlackBall; pricing begins at $29.95 per seat.

"SearchIn v4.0 is the ultimate search tool for your entire network, regardless of operating system," said Patricia Brown, President of BlackBall. "SearchIn indexes not just the contents of a file, but also the metadata that describes the specific details of unstructured files. So SearchIn users have all the benefits of search & retrieval, file management, and an unstructured database in one product, without having to learn a new application."

As storage costs decline, hard drives have become crowded with more complicated file types that are increasingly difficult to locate. SearchIn Server Edition is a search and storage resource management solution that utilizes a patent-pending real time indexing technology for fast, accurate searches. This system-level software automatically indexes files as they are saved to local or network volumes -- which is optimal for system performance and search accuracy. The search index addresses the complexity of rich media files by understanding their specific metadata structures. It offers complete security integration, and supports hundreds of business critical information asset formats, such as Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Office, and TIFF files.

BlackBall's SearchIn Server Edition software runs on 32-bit Windows Server Operating Systems, RedHat, Debian, and SuSE Linux, Sun Solaris and Mac OS X. SearchIn Server Agents support the above plus HP-UX, AIX, and Novell NetWare. SearchIn Server is available as a free trial download at www.blackball.us. SearchIn Server Edition retails for $695.00, Server Edition Agents retail for $395.00, and SearchIn Professional Seat Licenses retail for $29.95.
