The Basics of Search – Keyword and Spatial
Unlocking Insights with Advanced Keyword and Spatial Search
GeoClerk has revolutionised how geoscientists search for information, thanks to its powerful and intuitive keyword search capabilities. Initially designed as a specialised image search engine, GeoClerk uses advanced machine learning to classify images intelligently. This allows users to search effortlessly for images of interest, replicating the natural process of skimming documents to find relevant visuals and then exploring the surrounding content. By analysing text within and around images, as well as associated metadata, GeoClerk ensures you land directly at the most relevant sections of a document. The result? A faster, more efficient, and comprehensive way to access the insights you need.
Keyword Search
More recently GeoClerk has added full text search capability, empowering users to search the every page within documents – even those without images. Simply enter your search term, and GeoClerk quickly delivers relevant pages, organized by document for seamless navigation. This innovation ensures you can uncover valuable insights wherever they reside.
Spatial Search
GeoClerk takes spatial searching to the next level, allowing users to geofence specific areas and retrieve only tagged documents intersecting the selected region. Results are prioritized by spatial relevance, ensuring the most pertinent documents appear first. For added precision, spatial searches can be seamlessly combined with keyword searches. A handy browser extension enables users to initiate spatial searches directly from jurisdictional geological survey mapping tools, such as GeoView (Western Australia), GeoResGlobe (Queensland), or SIGÉOM (Quebec) should they desire. This powerful integration streamlines the search process, saving time and delivering targeted results.
