Alchemy
Product Overview Datasheet 
Alchemy Web
Alchemy Web is an extension
for Alchemy Server that automatically publishes repository
content to the Internet as a Web site. From a browser, content
consumers can browse, search and view the content from one
or many repositories.
When you have fixed content
that must be accessed by remote users over the Internet, add
Alchemy Web to your Alchemy Server system. An Alchemy Web
license adds two main components to your system.
Alchemy Web Engine
Web Engine is the
server-side .NET component that manages HTTP access, decides
what repositories to publish, and determines the settings
for end users. It includes
a management console to add or remove repositories. The Web
administrator can configure several options for users such
as document viewing options, search result list settings,
and background colors and fonts.
Alchemy Web Search
Web Search is the
content consumer interface that runs within Internet Explorer
and is automatically published when a user logs in to an Alchemy
Web site. It has the
same look and feel as the popular Alchemy Search for Windows
client, bringing the convenience and power of IMR's classic
'3-pane' contextual view to the Internet.

a large image collection quickly.
