Today, we are excited to announce the release of YOSE 2021.1 (Your Own Search Engine) which contains a ton of awesome updates and brand new functions.
One of the main highlights is that we have replaced the old database with a new one, and have added a brand new index motor—an upgrade that allows you to handle MUCH larger datasets. Your data will now be indexed up to 10 times faster than before.
Considering that our users can now index and manage extreme amounts of data, we felt it was the perfect opportunity to rethink and improve the user interface to make it more efficient for navigating extreme amounts of data. We also took the liberty of adding a bunch of cool new features to the software, which are bound to make your workflow easier.
As you download the latest version, we hope this summary of features will build up anticipation… until you get to try each of them yourself:
The database backend has been updated to RocksDB, a database developed by Facebook to ensure scalability and performance in very large databases. This means that you can now import and handle extreme amounts of data without any problems. You can also prioritize which processes to run with a simple push of a button—something that will save a lot of time for our investigators. Thanks to increased performance, we can deliver a number of innovative solutions that will help you find what you are looking for.
Let YOSE discover links between information for you, with up to 10 levels of separation. This works with chats, financial transactions, documents, and more.
YOSE now offers a new view for collecting all information around a single person. Follow an individual across specific times and places, and view all the information and people related to them.
Here’s a brand new way to find the person you are looking for. With help from AI, relevant information is smartly extracted so you can quickly find the person you are looking for, without having to scroll and scroll.
You can now filter your search results according to all dimensions of information. This makes it possible to filter your search results with respect to text within documents or text coming from OCR on top of the more traditional filters available, such as time, place, person, file type, etc.
It is now super easy to open link levels and build upon them. You can now even draw on the link graphs yourself which means you can easily present content in a clear way, just as you want. Included is a dataset from UN with icons to use in most scenarios.
YOSE has been a very good tool, but the advancements in its capabilities over the past 6 months are truly amazing!”
It is the most intuitive and functional tool I have seen so far in 20 plus years as an analyst.”
