What is the NASA/KSC Technical Documentation (TechDoc) Search Engine?
A. The NASA/KSC Technical Documentation Search Engine allows any user located in the nasa.gov domain and select Contractor sites to search for and retrieve documents stored in the TechDoc system using a web-browser interface. Note: Secured documents can only be accessed by entering a valid username and password. The NASA/KSC Technical Documentation Search Engine is a centralized Search Manager that has the capability to search one or multiple Document Managers. Much like using AltaVista or Yahoo!, the reader is able to retrieve documents without having to know where the documents are physically located and controlled. To keep the Search Manager(s) up to date, whenever a document is created, modified, released, or deleted, an update is automatically sent to the appropriate Search Manager(s). The Search Manager retrieves results from TDARCHIVE, TDELV, TDISS, TDJBOSC, and TDKSC. The dtSearch software provides full text document search for document retrieval.
