What others say about The Enterprise Search Report 2008

"The Enterprise Search Report presents a definitive analysis of the requirements for enterprise search and detailed reviews of the available solutions. Indispensable!"
-- Martin White, Managing Director, Intranet Focus Ltd

"I've seen a lot of basic vendor comparison guides, but none of them come close to the technical depth, real-life experience, and hard-hitting critiques that I found in the Enterprise Search Report. When I need the real scoop about vendors, I always turn to CMS Watch."
-- Alexander T. Deligtisch, Co-founder & Vice President, Spliteye Multimedia

"The Enterprise Search Report is jammed full of great stuff..."
-- Lou Rosenfeld, Leading independent information architecture guru

"The Enterprise Search Report is a useful tool for anyone working on an enterprise search project. The descriptions of how search works, recommendations for how teams and projects should be structured, as well as the information about hidden costs and how to control them make the report worth your time. "
-- Chiara Fox, Senior Information Architect, Adaptive Path

Report Excerpt

The Enterprise Search Report 2008 looks at... Your Amigo's Distributed Architecture

"YourAmigo is a distributed search solution, but with a particular twist. The product places agent software on servers containing content to be indexed. This code watches for new or modified documents. When such a document is identified, the agent processes the file, encrypts it, and copies the file to the main server where the YourAmigo query processing subsystem and master "SiteIndex" reside. This approach reduces some of the bandwidth and processing demand associated with brute-force spiders; however, it requires that licensees install agent software on multiple servers."
