RiverGlass Introduces Web and File System Scanner to Open Source Community

WEST CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - August 18, 2009) - RiverGlass now offers RiverGlass®
EssentialScanner, an Open Source web and file systems scanner, to the
Lucene developer community under the GNU Lesser General Public License
(LGPL). The tool is intended for developers in need of robust yet low-cost
and easy-to-deploy scanner capabilities as part of larger enterprise search
solutions they are building. Information collection covering internal
repositories and file systems as well as the WWW is supported.

"RiverGlass® EssentialScanner is the same technology base upon which we
build our intelligent search solutions currently in use at numerous
government agencies and corporations. We are excited to make our scanner
technology available to the Open Source community and hope our extensive
experience working with Lucene will benefit others. We also look forward to
a lively, productive interaction with that developer group," said Doug
Marquis, RiverGlass VP of Product Development.

Users of RiverGlass® EssentialScanner can take advantage of technical
support programs for direct access to RiverGlass' Lucene experts in helping

no matter the stage -- to ensure effective, efficient software development.

Additionally, users can license cutting-edge analytics for building even
more powerful search solutions. Offered a la carte or as bundled packages,
