Recommind Expands User-Based Relevancy and Federation Framework in Latest Enterprise Search Release

MindServer Search™ 6.0 Improves Efficiency By Delivering Actionable Results to Each User

Recommind, the leader in search-powered information risk management, today announced the availability of MindServer Search™ 6.0, the latest version of its flagship enterprise search product. Built on Recommind’s powerful CORE™ platform (Context Optimized Relevancy Engine), the latest version of MindServer Search significantly extends the solution’s functionality, reach and accuracy by adding features such as enhanced relevancy tuning and by extending the system’s federated search framework. Combined, these features will enable enterprises to efficiently access and make actionable more internal and external information, expertise and relationships than ever before.

MindServer Search 6.0 is built on Recommind’s CORE™ platform, a fully automated information management layer which seamlessly and securely integrates structured and unstructured data inside and outside of enterprise networks. With the CORE platform, enterprises of all sizes and industries enjoy faster, more accurate and efficient knowledge management, collaboration, records management, regulatory compliance and eDiscovery.

“Next-generation enterprise search must be able to adapt to the needs of the individual users in order to determine and deliver the exact information required, in context, for each user’s specific needs. Users can’t spend time authenticating or endlessly searching through results – relevancy must be automatic, instantaneous and accurate,” said John Alber, Technology Partner at Bryan Cave LLP. “MindServer Search 6.0 meets these needs, particularly with the addition of the greatly enhanced user-based relevancy tuning framework. Having direct and immediate access to the right information at the right time has become an essential component of enterprise search.”

MindServer Search 6.0 allows enterprises to 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. In addition, users can choose to boost results based on their individual profile or that of their team.

MindServer Search 6.0’s federated search capabilities enable users to search across internal and external data sources with one 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.

“In today’s data-driven world, fast and efficient enterprise search is no longer merely an option, it’s a necessity. This is especially true now that enterprises must deal with the skyrocketing costs and complexity of data-driven eDiscovery, records management and compliance,” said Robert Tennant, CEO at Recommind. “Our mission is twofold: to help enterprises unlock the valuable knowledge and expertise in their data stores and to mitigate the risks associated with exposure to litigation, records management and regulatory compliance. MindServer Search 6.0 is a significant step forward in enterprise search, providing dramatic improvement in the speed, efficiency and relevancy with which enterprise knowledge workers can gain contextually-accurate access to information they need for their daily work.”
