Search Solutions 2011: Successful Enterprise Search By DesignMarianne Sweeny
When your colleagues say they want Google, they don’t mean the Google Search Appliance. They mean the Google Search user experience: pervasive, expedient and delivering the information that they need. Successful enterprise search does not start with the application features, is not part of the information architecture, does not come from a controlled vocabulary and does not emerge on its own from the developers. It requires enterprise-specific data mining, enterprise-specific user-centered design and fine tuning to turn “search sucks” into search success within the firewall. This presentation looks at action items, tools and deliverables for Discovery, Planning, Design and Post Launch phases of an enterprise search deployment.

Making SharePoint Search work comes down to some very practical steps you can take to improve the search experience for your end users. Many organizations fail to take advantage of the controls built into SharePoint. Further, they ignore objective ways to measure success. In this call, we will discuss the following topics:
• The impact of site structure on relevancy
• Using metadata to improve findability
• Leveraging SharePoint Best Bets
• Authoritative pages for prescribed keywords
• Utilizing pre-constructed search queries
• Measuring results and making adjustments
Presentation on best practices for enterprise search by BlueBolt. The presentation provides reasons why enterprise search is needed with statistics to back it up, then walks through multiple examples and case studies showing off what good search looks like.
Determining the overall system performance and measuring the quality of complex search systems are tough questions. Changes come from all subsystems of the complex system, at the same time, making it difficult to assess which modification came from which sub-component and whether they improved or regressed the overall performance. If this wasn’t hard enough, the target against which you are measuring your search system is also constantly evolving, sometimes in real time. Regression testing of the system and its components is crucial, but resources are limited. In this talk I discuss some of the issues involved and some possible ways of dealing with these problems. In particular I want to present an academic view of what I should have known about search quality before I joined Cuil in 2008.
