NASA's standards advisor pilot: search solutions for an intranet

Published: 10 March 2006 Publication History

Abstract

With the immense progress in web technologies, lots of information can be acquired from a simple query. Unfortunately with the available tools today, the information obtained can be unfocussed and voluminous. It requires user to search through information galore before he can obtain the exact answer to the query. This arouses the need for a search technology which produces exact result in spite of simple query. This paper focuses on evaluating three search technologies - Verity Ultraseek, Copernic Enterprise search and ISYS:web for the NASA Standards Advisor Project. From the results obtained by using sample documents and sample queries it is shown that Verity Ultraseek outperformed Copernic and ISYS: web in both search capabilities and retrieval performance.
