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...
Hi Heather - Well, it's taken me 3 weeks to get to responding to your introduction, but welcome to the group. Good to see someone from the group that I've...
Lee, Your description of what you want to do sounds a bit like something I wanted to do some years ago, but for different reasons from yours. I used an early ...
(apologies for cross-posting) This spring I'll be teaching a new day-long workshop, "Site Search Analytics for a Better Experience". I won't be focusing on...
Lee, really interesting posting. I certainly can envision at least drawing links between people through shared individual queries, if not query collections....
Hi Louis - thanks for your comments. I've got a decent set of analytics to use for search, though, unfortunately, at the moment the engine itself provides...
We are looking at adding a People/Employee search to our enterprise search interface and I am looking for input as to what other organziations are doing and...
[Long] You might want to look at the Web and People search functions at colleges and universities. They are generall openly available, unlike enterprise ...
Hi Lee, Yes, I heard about it. If I am not mistaken it is authored by Stephen Arnold, who in my opinion is one of the greatest ES gurus out there. If you are...
Good info - thanks! I won't say that we have a fool proof algorithm that allows free form searches but it works very well in my testing so far. We use ...
Tim, You raise some very interesting points. We built a knowledge base that we call Techbase and we have the Help Desk enter most of the items in it. We asked...
Richard, You hit on quite a few topics. Relevancy is key but the question is how do you find a relevancy that works? The answer is that there is no "one"...
