|
Enterprise search is an extensive search system that
provides the means to search both structured and
unstructured data sources with a single query. It addresses
businesses that need to store, retrieve and track digital
information of all kinds. Data sources in enterprise search
systems include information stored in many different
containers such as e-mail servers, desktops, messaging,
enterprise application databases, content management
systems, file systems, intranet sites and external Web
sites. Enterprise search systems provide users with fast
query times and search results that are usually ranked in
such a way that the information you need is easily
accessible. |

Why Enterprise Search? |
|
For the most part, the need for enterprise search has been
driven by productivity and resource needs. When employees
cannot locate specific information that they may need, the
search for it can be a time-consuming task. Resources can
also be taxed as often times, once the information is
finally located, it is recreated and resaved in a different
location using more resources. Over the past year legal
issues have become a major a driving force behind adoption
of enterprise search as the Federal Rules for Civil
Procedure now requires companies to both retain and locate
electronic information for inspection, sanctions and
subpoenas. |

key, but the user experience is also important, because an
unfamiliar, complex, or inconvenient user interface will act
as a barrier to adoption. |

While the two methods of search might sound similar, in
reality the mechanisms behind the two are quite different.
Usually, enterprise search systems do not search the public
Internet and only focus on resources that are part of the
company's private network. By the same token, Internet
search engines generally do not cross corporate firewalls
and search private corporate data. Also, enterprise search
engines tend to provide faster results since they are
focusing on a set parameter of information.
In addition, information retrieved through an enterprise
search solutions is not stored as Web pages on traditional
