As more network resources and services are becoming available over the Web, more content is being created and stored in file systems and databases accessible to Web browsers. That means it's getting more difficult for enterprises to find content relevant to a problem or reuse it to generate income. The solution: enterprise search engines.
Enterprise search engines find content within a firewall or secure VPN for employees, customers and partners. These are not Internet search engines tuned for link analysis and popularity contests. These are engines designed to leverage metadata and analyze and index content in a variety of documents.
