Hi Miles, Thanks so much for the link and the information on Knowledgebase creation and usage. Unfortunately, at this very moment, our hand tooled parser...
Hi All, We have completed putting together our new parser for our intranet application search, but we are lost how to include it. In V5.5 there used to be a...
Does anybody know how different search technologies may (or may not) be able to crawl AJAX delivered content? I'm assuming that it's currently handled like...
Hi All, Of the three search engines Verity K2, IDOL, FAST How would you compare them wrt 1. Scalability 2. Performant(especially if searches are advanced and...
Hi Sreedhar, Although I agree with you on the taxonomy issue, I have to disagree with you on the parser statement. Their parsers are not modifiable, but you...
How do some search engines allow boosting relevancy for individual search pages? For example, there is a page that is not ranked too high when searching for...
Using Autonomy IDOL, I like the simple solution of adding a field with an extremely high weighting multiplier (10... or 100 if it gets your adrenaline going...
I am actually trying this approach, and it "sort of" works. I created a second keyword field, with much higher relevancy. I am trying values from 10 to 100000...
Wow, that's different then what I saw . . . I'll be very interested to know if you find out what's influencing it so much . . . Well, have you tried BIAS?...
I can use bias to give certain pages a "code" to bias on, but that's: 1. Query and not index time 2. Not targeted enough 3. Just bad design, in my view 4. Not...
The work we did was a while back, but I know it was > IDOL 5. I understand BIAS is not nearly as clean for what you're wanting. I just thought I'd mention it...
As a matter of fact, we are going to do exactly that in the application layer. It's just that I really need to boost certain pages with Autonomy config file as...
Hi, we are analyzing FAST ESP. Has anybody worked with it. Do you have any scalability, performance issues or any other issues that you would like to share. ...
Alan, That is nice feed back. Thanks. So, did u sustomize the query parser using VDK C/C++ API. Is there any other way to do this. Thanks, Sreedhar mbwebman...
... have any scalability, performance issues or any other issues that you would like to share. FAST is one of the many engines we've worked with, and ESP...
Most engines let you weight queries based on a field value - Ultraseek lets you assign a 'document quality' value in their patches.py code; K2 and others let...
... first. ... Autonomy's Ultraseek has a few ways to do this, though I'm not sure if any are exactly what you're looking for. 1) You could set it as a...
Garth, It's certainly good to know that Ultraseek has those features. I started salivating there for a second. Autonomy's IDOL however, does not have any of...
Hi, I ran in to a case where the attempt to retrieve a doc with highlighting generates errors. Has anyone experienced similar situations? Are there any ways...

Nothing I can point a finger at (or even hope to replicate), but we have two clients where we are seeing very similar behavior. Running K2 (one using 5.5 on...
HI Sreedhar, Actually you don't need to use C/C++ API to create your own parser. If you look into the directories "/Install Dir/k2/common/uni" or any of the...
Hi Miles, Thank you for your quick responses and suggestions. The problem is simpler than it appears. We need to escape the metacharacters before attempting...
Hi all; I'm working on a book with Rich Wiggins on search analytics for local site search. (Walter Underwood, whom I think most of you know, has already...
Miles (and everyone), Long time no discuss. I hope you're well. Anyhow... I haven't seen this specifically, but have seem similar issues on Solaris with doing...
Hi all, we currently use k25.5. For one of the applications that we are going to develop we have an option to either use k2 or some other search engine. Now...
Seems like wherever I go, Lou Rosenfeld and Rich Wiggins show up. ;-) Hi, guys. When we get to our search analytics, I'll see if there's something I can ...
