Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply and suggestions. My idea of coverage is very general and
the intent of the question is to find out if there are folks out there reporting
on the amount of corporate content they feel are covered by any variety of their
search solutions. I am pursuing other sources as well, so thanks again.

However, I'm sure a good chunk of these companies have departmental solutions.
I would further bet that a smaller percentage are completely indexing full
blown, enterprise-wide content covering a variety of content types. Even a
smaller percentage are employing advanced search technologies like
auto-categorization and faceted search. This opinion is just from my ancedotal
observations and conversations.
