"The difference between Zebra 1.3.36 and Zebra 2.0 is astounding -- top work -- at least 4-6 times quicker with our AND terms. Thank you VERY VERY much."
-- Dan Mullineux, LMS Tech Lead, Talis.

Zebra is a high-performance, general-purpose structured text indexing and retrieval engine. It reads structured records in a variety of input formats (eg. email, XML, MARC) and allows access to them through exact boolean search expressions and relevance-ranked free-text queries.

Zebra supports large databases (more than ten gigabytes of data, tens of millions of records). It supports incremental, safe database updates on live systems. You can access data stored in Zebra using a variety of Index Data tools (eg. YAZ and PHP/YAZ) as well as commercial and freeware Z39.50 clients and toolkits.

Zebra is free software, available under the GPL license. It may be used by anyone without charge. If you wish to incorporate Zebra into a commercial software distribution, please contact us about alternative licenses.

Notice: Optional, commercial support is available for Zebra.
