Happy Holidays from New Idea Engineering
The holiday season is often a quiet one for Enterprise Search, but
this year seems to be an exception. Big announcements from IBM and Yahoo,
a new internet search site interface - apparently from Microsoft, and
FAST announces their next user conference in February.
As always, feel free to contact us if you have any questions
regarding enterprise search.
What's New - December 2006:
Microsoft and a new web interface; IBM and Yahoo find a way to compete with Google; Google files a patent on
their result list layout; FASTforward '07 in San Diego in February; and a search site claims to know what you mean. [More].
Part 3: Enterprise Security Requirements - Implementing the system: In this final
installment in his series on integrating corporate security policies with Enterprise Search, Mark Bennett writes about the issues that can come up
when things don't go as planned and provides a "head's up" on what to look out for earlier in the process. In the process, he provides
a brief discussion of federated search, and shows how highlighted document links and navigators may be security holes unless handled
properly.[More].
Federated Search Overview: Lance Danbe of
Deep Web Technologies provides
an overview of federated search and how companies can use it as a tool to assist employees whose job often requires them to find the most
relevant documents from a variety of sources, not all of which can be indexed as part of the default corporate collection. His article also links to
a location on the Deep Web site where you can test drive their federated product.[More].
Dr. Search: FAST Installation Issues:
This month Dr. Search tackles a problem a reader had with a recent
FAST installation. [More].
