NIE Enterprise Search
Volume 5 Number 2
February/March 2008

Welcome to Enterprise Search!
February has been a busy month for us here at New Idea Engineering, but we've brought together another issue of Enterprise Search that I think will be interesting and useful. Mark Bennett provides the first in a three part series defining the difference between enterprise search and web search. I've put together the first in a two part series on enterprise search relevancy, and dr. Search has his first Google Search Appliance question.
One of the features in What's New this month is the initial announcement of our first webinar, scheduled for Friday, April 4 at 1030AM Pacific time. The subject of this first-ever event for New Idea Engineering: our take on the Microsoft acquisition of FAST. The website and the blog will have news of the event, but if you want to pre-register for this free event, sign up on our web site at http://www.ideaeng.com/webinar.
And for those of you who missed our talk on enterprise search security at FASTForward08, e-mail me for a copy of the slides we used in the talk.
See you next month!
