CINCINNATI, Ohio (June 19, 2014)- Rippe & Kingston Systems, Inc. a diversified information technology services firm, just announced that it has enhanced its Contract Management software solution Contract Guardian by adding a Search Application Programming Interface (API).

Contract Guardian can be integrated with your existing systems via easy to use and yet power APIs. The search API can be initiated with or without predefined parameters. Typically, clients will have an icon that will initiate the search. It will open a new window and execute the full text search. The search addresses all security concerns and constraints associated with the client/user. It then scans all documents, Meta data and attachments before returning the results. Contract Guardian delivers on its reputation for arguably the best and certainly fastest search engine in the contract management industry.

In addition to simple word or phrase search parameters, the user has the ability to use substitution parameters like * for multiple characters or a ? for a single character. Boolean operators are provided to provide more complex search options.

Meta Data of Contract: Every search that has a hit on the Meta data of a contract delivers the following:
 Name of contract
 Link to the contract meta data and attachments
 Type of agreement
 Organization
 Status of contract
 Name of the field(s) where the content matches. (Note: It also highlights in yellow)
 Date contract was created
 Who (user) that created the agreement
 Date contract was modified
 Who (user) that last modified the agreement


Actual Contract and Attachments (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.): Every search that has a hit on the content of the contract (primary attachment) and other attachments delivers the following:

 Name of agreement
 Link to the agreement and the document (contract / attachment)
 Expiration Date of attachment (if provided)
 Snippet of text surrounding the search phrase that is highlighted in yellow for each instance that it finds a match


 Date the contract was modified
 Who (user) that last modified the agreement


In either case, the user can go directly to the Meta Data for the Contract as well as any attachment that matches the search criteria. See complete screen results below:
