HangerSearch

HangerSearch revolutionizes how engineering teams find prior cases in vast technical report archives. Key features: • Connect to existing PDF archives • Returns 4-5 highly relevant prior cases • Shows terms driving each search result • Allows users to refine searches with additional terms • Provides page-level pointers within composite PDFs Traditional search methods often return a flood of keyword hits, forcing engineers to manually sift through hundreds of irrelevant pages. HangerSearch cuts through this noise by focusing on case similarity, not just string matches. It addresses the challenge of synonymous terms and program nicknames that evolve over years, ensuring critical precedents aren't missed due to varied terminology. Users maintain full control, viewing the terms that inform each result and having the ability to add missing keywords to steer the search. This tool is designed for engineering support teams who rely on past reports for confirmation and need to quickly locate precise information without extensive manual "PDF archaeology." It drastically reduces the time spent hunting for information, allowing engineers to focus on analysis and confirmation. HangerSearch is ideal for teams who need accurate, defensible search results from their internal archives, ensuring judgment remains on the engineering work, not on folder navigation.
