The Enterprise Search Report 2008 looks at... Microsoft and Enterprise Search

"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. "

3rd-Party Search for SharePoint

20-Jun-2005

Enterprise Search vendor Coveo has launched a "Sharepoint" edition of its search product. Why create a commercial search engine specifically for SharePoint when the Microsoft portal comes with its own "Search Services" for free? As Enterprise Search Report readers know, SharePoint Search is relatively simple to configure, but somewhat complex to customize in depth; out of the box it is quite functional but not exactly feature rich. Check out this screenshot or this one from Coveo to get a sense for their value-add. At some point, Microsoft will surely add advanced search features to SharePoint, but in the meantime, you might want to try out Coveo's free trial.
