A colleague asked me about articles on search ROI/justification/business case. Does anyone have any good references that I can pass on? I intend to write a...
In thinking through the question I posted, I came up with a few bullet points. Perhaps people can add to these: * Building the search case is like any other...
Re: [SearchCoP] Business Case for Search Applications Susan Feldman's written some good stuff (good, as in, showing how much enterprise needs search). However,...
Great analogy, Avi. I tend to take such analogies further (too far, really), but... who questions the ROI of public education these days? Yet at some point...
I agree that it is infrastructure. But increasingly, search also needs to be considered an application - especially when considering integration of content...
I do not understand your distinction between application and infrastructure. I guess I view things from the point of view of what the user experiences....
My distinction would be having a search tool that allows for various mechanisms for surfacing content and tuning that system for a specific repository or data...
Wow! Sounds like quite a charmed world some of you work in. The sword of abandonning taxonomy projects because of the difficulty of proving its worth has ...
Frankly, you describe a distinction without a difference. A user visits your site and encounters a search box. It matters not a whit what that search box...
With all due respect, Richard, I think that kind of an answer oversimplifies the challenge to getting project resources and even what constitutes a search...
Keith (Keipat?): why not abandon ship? Some organizations are figuring it out. Some aren't, as is perhaps the case with your current employer. At which type...
Hi all - In case anyone on this list is interested in yet more ramblings (perhaps sprinkled with occasional insight :-) ), I've recently started a blog where...
Categorization Analyst The Categorization Analyst will assist in the development and maintenance of rulesets to be used in automatically identifying products ...
Hi there, I kind of like the restricted search support found at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/redpapers/ - the pulldown in the upper right hand...
I think this type of search can be very good for visitors if: A) it is very clear to the user where they are searching (many will assume they will hit all...
From my log analysis: if the search engine's really broken, people will try anything, including pulldown menus. If it's working pretty well, they almost never...
One of my clients is interested in Entopia, so I was taking a look. I tried to go to the web site and it was replaced by one of those placeholder spam sites...
Hi all, Although there have not been new member introductions in awhile, I just joined this group, and I'll go ahead and introduce myself. I am a taxonomist...
Welcome Heather. It will be interesting to see how things work from a vendor side of the fence. I think that taxonomy classification and expertise would be a...
Does anyone have experience with tuning FAST ESP to return only hits on exactly one word and specifically exclude the word in another context? e.g find: "Snow"...
Karin, I spoke with my search architect on this. He knows FAST about as well as anyone I have ever met, including the top engineers at ... I can't think of...
Can't say I have much experience with FAST, but that seems clunky. No utility to say "One word results only", huh? Is there maybe a way in the rules to do a...
While the approach may seem a little cumbersome, remember, searching an inverted index, which is a requirement for any sort of scalability, is rather unlike a...
Fair enough. Just seems like this shouldn't be such a hurdle. Lisa Smith Director, Taxonomy Business.com(r) - an R.H. Donnelley company 310-586-4198 office ...
This isn't as easy as it seems. What about these fragments with text after the word "snow": <tiltle>Smilla's Sense of Snow</title> Smilla's Sense of Snow,...
I'd be interested in sharing a hotel room (with a nonsmoking female) at the Enterprise Search Summit in New York May 20-21 (nights of May 19 and 20). It's not...
Hi all - I've been considering various metrics for search as part of some writing I'm doing on my blog and one idea has struck me that I wanted to ask if...
