Enterprise search summary

The term Enterprise search is used to describe the application of search technology to information within an organization. This is in contrast to the other two main type of horizontal search environment: Web search and Desktop search.

The major challenge faced by Enterprise search is the need to index documents from a variety of sources such as: File systems, Intranets, Document Management Systems, E-mail, Databases and then present a consolidated list of relevance ranked documents from these various sources. In addition, many applications require the integration of structured data as part of the search criteria and when presenting results back to the users. And of course access controls are vital if users are to be restricted to documents to which they are granted access by the various document repositories within the enterprise. These major challenges are unique to Enterprise search.
