That name sound very familiar, as does the feature set. Managing Gigabytes[1], or "mg" was the output of a University of Melbourne and RMIT research in the 1990s. It went on to be commercialized as SIM and later TeraText[2] and has largely disappeared into the government intelligence indexing and consulting-heavy systems space (where it is now presumably being trounced by Palantir).

- timb07 10y agoThat's exactly what I thought - I worked on index construction for MG back in 1994. (Note, although my name is Tim Bell, I'm not Timothy C. Bell, the coauthor of "Managing Gigabytes".)
