Notable customers include NZ Police and NZ Transport Agency. Implementation partners include Fronde, Team Asparona and Team Informatics.

History
Syl Limited was founded in 2008, based on research into semantic analysis of natural language by Peter de Vocht. The three-and-a-half year development programme behind Syl Search was partly co-funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation. The Syl enterprise search platform uses patented technology for semantic understanding of queries to differentiate the meaning of words based on their use, and language customisation and weightings to suit the organisation or industry.

Between November 2012 and December 2013 Syl Limited obtained additional expansion funding from Enterprise Angels to increase market share in the New Zealand and Australian markets with further plans to expand into the US market.

Syl Search uses elements of semantic search, faceted search, full text search and concept search queries of corporate data sources including network File shares, Atlassian Confluence, IBM Lotus Notes, LDAP, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Office 365, OpenText Documentum, Oracle Web Center Content, SilverStripe, Twitter, ODBC and JDBC data sources, XML and JSON files, G Suite, Dropbox, websites and more. A search API is also available for integrating search results into other platforms.

In late 2018, Syl Search version 3 was released with a modern responsive user interface and additional features.
