IXN has managed CLCD hosting since 1998 and provides hands-on support to develop and maintain the registration systems and data flows into its indexing systems. The CLCD search engine has a powerful query expansion capability (using thesauri files) and combines the advantages of traditional relevancy ranking algorithms with a proprietary algorithm for ranking based on word proximity as well as standard Boolean operations.
