Tropes Zoom

Tropes Zoom is a desktop search engine and semantic analysis software from Acetic/Semantic-Knowledge.

Originally written by Pierre Molette in 1994 in partnership with University Paris 8, Tropes Zoom was the first search engine based on semantic networks to be widely known.

Unlike other search engines, Tropes Zoom will suggest that the user replace each identified word with the sense it is contained into. Thus, the search is not carried out directly on the words you have chosen, but on the totality of their semantic equivalents. It let users to group files together by subject, and to analyze all the texts dealing with one or several themes within a large collection of documents.

Since 2011, Tropes is available as a free software under a variant of BSD_license agreement.
