We've had Omnidex for 7-8 years now. DISC continues to update it and the
technical support has been good. I'm very impressed.

Just recently, I began building a web application that uses a number of
Omnidex intrinsics. Two Omnidex features (one new) have enabled this
application to far exceed my initial expectations.

- An intrinsic called ODXTRANSFER writes record id's resulting from
keyword/wildcard searches (ODXFINDS) to a file with great speed. This file
can be used as criteria along with more keywords for subsequent searches
thereby enabling a drill down. Of course, the drilled records need to be
displayed in a particular sorted order to be useful ...

- A new and yet undocumented mode (90) to the ODXGET instrinsic enables a
sorted retrieval which is also lightning fast. I thought surely I would have
to sort the records myself and use up precious seconds in the process but
ODXGET mode 90 saved the day.

I haven't used either in years, and never used Superdex very much.  I want
to get something for a client I'm working with and Omnidex appears to cost
about 4 to 5 times as much.  Disc seems to spend much more time and
resource on Omnidex than Bradmark does on Superdex (I can't support this,
just an observation).  Technically speaking is there enough of a difference
to warrant the cost?
