1. NLP. NLP is the science of teaching computers to understand human interaction. By employing NLP in the Voyager™ indexing pipeline, searches become smarter. NLP reduces false positives in Voyager's geotagging service and allows Voyager to tell the difference between "British Petroleum" and "petroleum," for example. The NLP service can be run as a pipeline step on any text field users are indexing, and it will identify the following:
   1. People's names
   2. Nationalities, religions, political groups
   3. Facilities, such as buildings, airports, highways, bridges, etc.
   4. Companies, agencies, institutions, etc.
   5. Place names, such as countries, cities, states
   6. Other geographic places, such as mountain ranges, bodies of water
   7. Products, such as vehicles, weapons, foods, etc.
   8. Events like hurricanes, battles, wars, sports events
   9. Art works, like titles of books, songs
   10. Laws
   11. Languages
2. Fully cloud-enabled. Voyager can run in Amazon and can index any content stored in S3. It can also deliver that content through Voyager's processing tools, which include downloading content, metadata updating, publishing, and more. Even for companies that haven't migrated fully to the cloud, Voyager can run locally and index content both in the cloud and locally -- or vice versa. As a result, users and administrators can still find files with Voyager, no matter where they're located.
3. New Snapshot interface for System Administrators. Administrators can now create Snapshots with all of the components they need to migrate from one instance of Voyager to another -- not only in the Index, but also in Saved Searches, Thumbnails, and more. The interface is backed by the Voyager API, which is scriptable for automating updates.
4. Tool view. Administrators can set up what tools they want to show on search results and detail pages. This allows them to figure out which tools best suit their user's workflows and makes them easily accessible.

Voyager Search provides Fortune 500 businesses, federal agencies, and multinational organizations with search, application customization, and data management solutions that offer the efficiency, simplicity, and advanced security features that enterprises require. Since its inception, the company has remained focused on making Solr/Lucene technology accessible as a COTS product, rather than exclusively requiring companies to build and maintain a fully custom search solution.

Additional updates to 1.9.9 include:

1. A new grid view of search results. On hover, users can see the fields selected in a card view. This presentation is particularly nice for imagery heavy solutions.
2. If administrators have enabled multiple base maps, users can toggle between map types in Navigo™, which is useful when previewing overlays.
3. Administrators can now watch progress of an indexing location and see the total count as well as the current count of records while a location is indexing.
4. Display templates now have filters to help wade through long lists of fields.

"Voyager 1.9.9 includes some incredibly useful features that will enable a smarter, more efficient, totally comprehensive search and data management experience," said Brian Goldin, CEO of Voyager Search. "Being able to locate and use data faster than ever before is one of the many ways our customers have been able to use Voyager to positively impact their bottom line."
