Report Excerpt
"A diagram of SharePoint Search is easily drawn, and will display the main ingredients of any search engine: content sources are crawled, indexed, and stored in an index; then searchers' queries will be passed to the query engine, which in turn will access the index and return results. As with most of the infrastructure vendors, however, reality isn't that simple and Microsoft draws on a sizable number of "generic" modules also seen elsewhere in their product line-up. "

"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 Search & Information Access Report. When I need the real scoop about vendors, I always turn to CMS Watch.- - Alexander T. Deligtisch,
