Description

Running your own site or intranet search engine is very different from being a user of internet search engines -- it's not a black box any more

This search community of practice is a forum to share ideas, techniques and experiences in designing, configuring, testing, analyzing and maintaining enterprise search engines and search applications.

We welcome managers, hands-on search admins, search engine developers, site and intranet planners, information architects, usability mavens, user interface designers, user experience experts, CMS and content managers, librarians, knowledge managers and everyone with an interest in this topic.
