Happy holidays from all of us at New Idea Engineering!

One characteristic of enterprise search is that there users are often searching for a single document that they know exists, whether it is a proposal, a policy, or even the latest annual report.

And then there’s the issue of ‘near duplicates’ that can be caused by storing different versions of the same document on file shares.
It's been a busy Fall, with a number of interesting announcements and events, including:
Magic Quadrant: The good, the bad, and the ugly;
SharePoint Announcements;
Google’s New Capabilities;
Autonomy’s new SPE.
