“Hummingbird…launched the newest version of its advanced
information retrieval software at the 1999 Third Annual Linux
Showcase in Atlanta, GA. Hummingbird’s SearchServer 4.0 is the
industry’s first information retrieval engine to support Linux, in
addition to Windows and UNIX environments, providing users with
powerful text indexing and search capabilities on the platform of
their choice.“
“Linux provides users with an alternative platform for a variety
of applications, free of charge. Hummingbird recognizes the
importance of offering Linux support to users in all areas of our
business, which we have demonstrated in our strategic connectivity
partnerships with SuSE, Caldera, and Red Hat. Now with Linux
support for our information retrieval solutions, we are taking one
more important step in continuing our Linux strategy,” said Mario
Couture, product manager, Hummingbird.”
