Sherlock Integrated Search
Integrating AI, keywords and advanced cloud technologies
to make discovery faster, easier and more cost-effective.
A full-featured discovery platform for search, investigation and review
AI-Powered Discovery
We’re ushering in a new era for discovery with Sherlock, the first AI-integrated search, investigation and review platform. It is fast, feature-rich and easy to use, covering the discovery lifecycle.
Sherlock is the first to integrate keywords seamlessly with algorithmic search, harnessing the power of our advanced machine learning algorithms to provide a faster, easier and more cost-effective way to find information in large document sets.
We deliver our software via the AWS cloud–through a unique single-tenant architecture that increases security and site control. It also enables the first-ever On/Off Cloud Utility Pricing. Pay one hourly rate when the site is active and a 70% reduced rate when you turn it off, saving money and supporting green computing.
For Virtually Any Use Case
Use Sherlock Integrated Search as a standalone investigation and discovery tool, or use it alongside your existing technology stack. The platform’s speed, ease of use and benefits offered through single-tenant design make it ideal for many use cases:
- Time-sensitive internal investigations, such as HR/employment, theft, conflicts of interest, fraud, unfair competition and other issues involving code of conduct
- Government and regulatory investigations, Dawn Raids and other situations in which you need to quickly respond to requests
- ECA, analysis, review and production for ediscovery, investigations and regulatory compliance matters
- Rapid culling and organization of likely responsive or privileged data prior to moving into a preferred review platform
- Third-party subpoenas and centralized subpoena management
- Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests
- Large set data investigation and review for M&A, small claims management, patient-reported data, email archives and other pre-litigation and business use cases
Once you start using Sherlock Integrated Search, you’ll be amazed at its many use cases.

See Sherlock in Action!
Watch these videos to see Sherlock in action. The videos are all based on a collection of nearly two million emails from Jeb Bush’s two terms as governor of Florida in the early 2000s. Governor Bush made these documents public, and a portion was used at the NIST Text Retrieval Conferences (TREC). They cover a wide range of topics and create an ideal environment to see Sherlock in action.
In this introduction, we start with one document related to efforts to protect manatees in Florida and send it to Sherlock, who quickly analyzes the approximately two million documents to find more.
See the full extent of our platform. Start with Freeform Search (no keyword syntax required) and then find a good starting set of documents. Send the set to Sherlock. Start to finish in seconds!
Purpose Built for AI and the Cloud
Sherlock Integrated Search is a trailblazing software platform, meticulously architected to take advantage of advanced analytics of cutting-edge AI and the features exclusively offered by cloud technology. Embracing innovation, Sherlock Integrated Search is built from the ground up, unencumbered by archaic software and outdated code, to take leap into a new era of discovery with agility and efficiency.
Speed
We built Sherlock from scratch, using the latest software code, languages and frameworks to ensure your sites are lightning fast, regardless of size, with near instant responses even with tens of millions of documents.
Simplicity
We designed Sherlock with an eye to making it as easy to use as possible, requiring almost zero training. Use freeform search to create simple but powerful queries and then send documents to Sherlock, letting him take over from there.
Secure
Each site resides in its own Virtual Private Cloud with no shared computing resources and no commingling of data (single-tenant architecture. We harden each site with end-to-end encryption, cloud monitoring and sophisticated rights management. Learn more. (link to (link to https://www.merlin.tech/software/single-tenant/).
Scalable
We’ve built Sherlock to run securely in the cloud for “no limits” scalability. From a small internal investigation to a large collection, we can instantly deploy the resources you need, spinning them up when you need them and down when you don’t.
