"Beyond Search: What to do When Your Enterprise Search System Doesn't Work" by Stephen Arnold
Stephen has been vocal about the dissatisfaction
among users of "enterprise search" systems. In his new study, Stephen
explores how to go "beyond search." The new 270 page study
is focused on what you can do to get your incumbent search system back on track and includes tips and tricks to fix an ailing system.
If you want to replace your existing system, his study identifies alternatives
to the now-ageing "enterprise" systems so common in organizations today.
You will discover details
about some of the newest, most promising content processing systems
now in the commercial channel in the 24 vendor profiles included. And you will get a "market map" that makes
it easy for you to determine which vendors may be right for you.

III. Vendor Profiles Many of the vendors selected for inclusion in this study are not widely known to search and information system professionals. Each vendor represents a significant approach to "findability" and information access that moves beyond the tyranny of the search box.
Familiarizing yourself with these vendors allows you to compare and contrast functionalities in a more discriminating way. Companies with "beyond search" technologies developed outside the United States are in italics. Some of these companies will fill the void in the market created by the withdrawal of Convera, the failure of Entopia, and the changing product offerings from many of the well-known, vendors of branded search systems.
