Sinequa Releases Business Search Version 8.0
December 15, 2011
Sinequa has just released the latest version of its enterprise search platform, as described in its “Version 8.0 of Sinequa Business Search becomes a Unified Information Access Platform.” A number of improvements have been made on 2009’s Version 7.
One unique feature: the new version is compatible with both Linux and Windows. It also sports new graphical elements; secure auto-completion with orthographic correction; and real-time computation of performance indicators. Furthermore, it now calculates relevance based in part on user actions.
There are also new Text Mining Agents. We learned from the write-up:
Tens of Text Mining Agents (TMA) are delivered as part of Version 8. In addition to the now classic ones like extractors of addresses, names of people or companies, the new version also includes extractors for email addresses, Facebook and Twitter links, and even bank account numbers and automobile number plates.
Another new focus is on collaborative and social business search. Labels allow users to influence the categorization of documents, while ratings let users assign each document a grade which will influence its ranking in response lists.
To learn more, check out the write ups at toolinux, silicon.fr, and artesi. (If you don’t read French, though, have handy your translation software of choice.)
Sinequa bases its context-sensitive Business Search on twenty five years of linguistic research. It combines semantic tools with statistical analysis, and has the capability to manage up to tens of thousands of users and billions of records. Perhaps best of all, it is built to integrate into most enterprise applications and data sources commonly used by businesses around the world.
