User-Based Relevancy Tuning and Powerful Federated Search

MindServer Search lets enterprises boost certain search results based on select properties of a document, including freshness, rank, specific metadata and document length.  Search results can feature 'Best Bets' which are preselected files linked to particular queries. Also available is a Sponsored Links feature, which brings external or indexed documents to the user's attention through specific queries, but places them outside of the standard search results area (e.g. preferred vendors for a particular query).  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 search framework in MindServer 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 MindServer Search Works

MindServer Search crawls and indexes information from any source, including document management systems, intranets, contact management databases and web sites. From the indices, MindServer Search automatically creates concept models customized to the information contained within the enterprise. These concept models significantly improve the quality of search results by identifying related information across different information sources and ranking search results by relevance. MindServer 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, MindServer Search incrementally crawls and updates the models, ensuring that information is accurate and current.
