Whew! 2006 is hot! Oh, sure the weather too, but we're talking about
the enterprise search market. Two of the leaders, Autonomy and FAST,
both announced record quarters, and we at NIE have been just about
as busy as we can be. In fact, so much so that we need more people.
If you know of a search-minded person, please pass the news on that we're hiring - Hurry! Dr. Search could really use the extra help. As always, feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding enterprise search. What's New - Summer 2006: SearchDev grows to over 100 members, record sales for the two big search companies, Microsoft calls out Google, New Idea Engineering returns to KM World, and a key Ultraseek engineer calls it quits.

Mark writes that expanding the scope of search within an enterprise seems almost directly at odds with the security requirements that mandate precisely controlled access to that same data. Amid this turmoil, search vendors have remained uncharacteristically quiet on the subject; while they may offer a few buzzword compliant check boxes on their data sheets, public information about tightly integrating security with search is scarce.

Command Line K2: rcvdk: Many people know that rcvdk is a great tool for understanding how the various features of K2 work, but it can be an excellent debugging tool interactively to confirm collection field values, or within your scripts to confirm that a particular collection has built properly. This month we begin a new series, taking a look at command line tools from the major vendors. We have also documented the most useful capabilities of rcvdk for your reference. [More].Dr. Search: Indexing files, displaying web content: Every now and then you want to take advantage of the faster indexing speed associated with file system indexing for content that is to be displayed as web content. As is often the case, there are a number of ways to solve the problem; this month we take a look at a few, including a little-understood feature of vspider called the prefixmapfile. support@ideaeng.com.
