Choosing a search tool
There are so many enterprise search tools on the market--some free--that it can be hard to find the right one for your company. One option is the free, downloadable enterprise search software called OmniFind Yahoo Edition from IBM and Yahoo. Another is Google's Mini, which indexes up to 300,000 documents for $8,995. Yet another is Autonomy Corp. Plc's desktop search application. If the tool you settle on will cost the company, it's not too difficult to justify the expense. After all, simply getting to the right information can be difficult, and it's a key competitive and productivity factor. What's more, compliance requirements are making business and IT executives seek tools to find information quickly for regulatory filings, government investigations or discovery in legal cases. Whatever type you choose, don't adopt search in a piecemeal way. Instead, have a cohesive strategy. A cohesive search strategy doesn't mean that enterprises need to have a single search platform or a single content index--it's okay to have several implementations for different purposes and business units, but if you have multiple search technologies in place, make sure they are coordinated.
