Decisiv Search
Single, Unified Enterprise Search
Access information scattered across the enterprise and beyond with accurate, automated concept search.
Decisiv Search combines sophisticated enterprise search technology with a simple user interface that helps users quickly and easily find the information they need. Rules-based access enables secure customization of results for each user, giving optimal relevancy in context as well as increased control over the display and ranking of information by administrators.
Enterprise Search Engine
Decisiv Search lets enterprises boost certain search results based on select properties of a document, including freshness, rank, specific metadata and document length. Enterprise Search results can feature 'Best Bets' which are preselected files linked to particular queries. In addition, users can choose to boost results based on their individual profile or that of their team.
Federated search enables users to search across internal and external data sources with a single query. The extended federated enterprise search framework in Decisiv Search increases user productivity by integrating internal and external results in the same result set and highlighting search terms in external sources. Adding new sources is quick and easy through a unified query syntax.

How it Works
Decisiv Search crawls and indexes information from any source, including document management systems, intranets, email archives, contact management databases and web sites.
From the indices, Decisiv Search automatically creates concept models customized to the information contained within the enterprise. These concept models significantly improve the quality of enterprise search results by identifying related information across different information sources and ranking search results by relevance.
Decisiv Search uses metadata to group related information, providing intuitive Smart Filters™ for quick navigation and easy browsing. As documents change and new information is added, Decisiv Search incrementally crawls and updates the models, ensuring that information is accurate and current.
