Summer 2008
Miles Kehoe, Editor
Welcome to Enterprise Search!
Summer is in full swing here at NIE, but that doesn't mean we're getting any time off - not that we're complaining! With five trade shows in the last six weeks, it's been hectic but fun: we like having the opportunity to meet people and talk search.
This month we show you 5 ways you can hide content from your search engine without knowing it; Mark Bennett concludes his series with Part 3 describing the differences between Internet and intranet search; Theresa Shafer has done an interview with an IT Manager who is using Endeca for his intranet search. And of course, we have What's New and Ask Dr Search. Speaking of Dr Search, you can now buy your own cool Dr Search coffee mugs and mousepads. Just what every search guru needs!
Finally, we want your log data. It can help us out with some research we are doing, or if you just want to hear more about it, please email me or give me a call at +1-408-446-3460. Thanks!
