Longitude for enhanced SharePoint search

BA-Insight has two short demos on how its Longitude product enhances SharePoint search. BA-Insight claims that searchers will be able to find information in SharePoint 10X faster using Longitude. This is partially achieved through the tagging and use of meta-data.

- Automatic meta-data tagging: "Users automatically tag relevant content when they search for information and find relevant content".
- Taxonomy navigation: Makes use of the meta-data to guide searchers through search results. Administrators can define the "key enterprise entities (topic, author, creation date, content type etc).

Longitude is described at http://www.ba-insight.net/search-solutions.html

The two video demos are available from the Products page or directly at http://www.ba-insight.net/enterprise-search-demo.html

Part 2 covers:
  • Automatically tuning the SharePoint ranking algorithm
  • Automatic Metadata tagging by users
  • Creating a “bottom up” or user based Taxonomy.
  • Dynamic page extracts
  • Actionable search results
