Custom Search

All search engines are not created equal. We work with you to find the right search functionality for your users' needs. Our solutions ensure that searches produce the right information — clearly, accurately and ranked according to relevance. We can also include special search features, such as:

• Field searching
• Searching across multiple data formats (e.g., XML, HTML, Word documents, .PDF, .GIF, etc.)
• Search-relational databases
• Related content linking
• Boolean and proximity searching
• Natural language searching
• Phonetic searching
• Fuzzy searching
• Custom ranking
• Hit highlighting
• Expanded thesaurus searching
• Searching for specific types of information (e.g., tables, but not text).

Guided Search & Navigation

Our guided search and navigation capabilities further enhance our powerful full-text search functionality. Entering key words and getting a list of result is not always enough. Guided search and navigation allows users to refine their search results based on criteria you determine. These metadata facets can include topic, content-type, author, date, specialty, sub-specialty and many more. Not only can users drill down quickly and easily to the information their looking for, guided search and navigation also helps them discover other relevant content in your collection.

Categorization & Taxonomy

Your users may want to search by keyword. They may also want to navigate through a category hierarchy, or taxonomy. We work with you to develop a comprehensive taxonomy strategy for your web product, including bringing in the appropriate third-party taxonomies. Software that automates the taxonomy process saves you time and money.

Entity Extraction

Entity extraction software expands searches by automatically providing "entities" — names of people, places, companies and other topics — related to the keyword search and its results. These connections give your users the opportunity to broaden their research in ways they might not have considered.

User Access Control & Authentication

We take care of controlling user access to your web site and content. Only authorized users will gain access, and our product enables you to deliver the right content to the right people, depending on their profiles and subscription status.

Ad Serve

We use the best ad serving technology available, allowing you to manage your online advertising and sponsorship opportunities and maximize your return on investment. Our ad serving component is designed to meet your specific business requirements, serving up ads based on the business criteria you set.

Blogs

As part of your web solution, we can set up blogs, integrate them with your existing web product, and make all of your blog content searchable.

RSS

We can make your web site fully RSS-enabled, allowing your users to get feeds of your content in real time.

Alerts

Your web product can also include the capability to send alerts so your users can receive real-time notices when new, relevant material is posted.

Social Networks

Social network features are increasingly important to build community and to connect your users with one another. We can incorporate a wide variety of tools such as forums and the ability to post comments to your web site.
