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

"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

"There are two main features of The Enterprise Search Report that keep me coming back to it as a reference. There are, of course, the reviews of the different tools which are very helpful when I need to quickly learn about a new search engine. But of even more value is its treatment of the requirements and pitfalls of search implementations in general. Highly recommended for those considering a search implementation."
-- Ron Daniel, Jr., Principal, Taxonomy Strategies LLC

"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

Report Excerpt

The Enterprise Search Report 2008 looks at... Fast Serach & Transfer: FAST ESP

"Design choices can have a major impact. For example, whether synonyms are expanded in the indexed document - or looked up at query time - will influence performance on either side. Because of the way ESP functions, it is also known for its relatively large index size; this is often compounded by choices based on responsiveness query-side. "
