Most of the provider search tools online are quite challenging to use and bring back so many options or irrelevant results…which is very frustrating. […]

Setting up a web crawler in the Google Search Appliance is a piece of cake — you enter a starting URL and some boundaries and let it rip.  The GSA will spider its way around until it finds every reachable page in the site.  For a well-structure site, this usually produces very good results, but not all sites […]

  Most of us “regular people” refer to pharmaceutical products by their trade name, but that’s not the case among life sciences professionals in research and development departments.

When I wake up in the morning I have a couple of choices for what to do first.  I could brush my teeth.  I could take a shower.  Or I could fix that broken shelf in the garage. Come again?  Two of those sound very typical and easy.  But the last one is less obvious, much harder, […]

  How many times have you searched your company’s Intranet portal, or even emailed, instant messaged, or called your colleagues in an effort to find the most suitable person to answer your questions?

Recently, I came across an AIIM study that focused on enterprise search and discovery trends.
