Marketing of dtSearch 1.0 a DOS Text Retrieval software product began in the first quarter of 1991. Initially it was distributed as Association of Shareware Professionals-approved shareware. The product was featured in an article entitled "Text Retrieval Software" in an early edition of PC Magazine"Text Retrieval Software". (July 1992). PC Magazine (UK ed) as a shareware alternative to the commercial products reviewed; these included ISYS, ZyIndex, Strix, askSam, ideaList, Assassin PC, Folio Views and Lotus SmartText.

In the first few years after its initial release, dtSearch was an end-user application only. Then, in 1994, Symantec approached dtSearch about including its search technology into one of the first applications for 32-bit Windows; the dtSearch end-user application was developed into a Dynamic-link library (DLL) which Symantec embedded in Norton Navigator, which was released alongside Microsoft’s initial release of its 32-bit Windows operating system, Windows 95.{{Cite web |date=2011-07-15 |title=Processor Editorial Article - dtSearch Performs Incredible Feats |url=http://www.processor.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/p3012/11p12/11p12.asp |access-date=2024-06-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715115958/http://www.processor.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/p3012/11p12/11p12.asp |archive-date=2011-07-15 }}
