8 linguistics-based businesses
  • Web search
  • Public-facing site search
  • Enterprise search knowledge management
  • Custom publishing
  • Text mining and extraction
  • Spam filtering
  • Voice recognition
  • Machine translation

3
Web search
  • Giant oligopoly
  • It's a huge business
  • It's consolidating down to two vendors that
    matter
  • If anybody but Google matters at all
  • Startups aren't gaining traction
  • Three kinds of search
  • Navigational
  • Informational
  • Transactional

4
Web search vendor issues today
  • Physical efficiency
  • Adversarial information retrieval
  • Monetization
  • Regulation
  • Branding

5
Future web search issues
  • Better popularity metrics
  • Better use of context
  • Geography!!
  • Sub-page retrieval
  • Looking through security barriers
  • Better UIs

6
Public-facing site search
  • It has dual goals
  • What the user actually wants
  • What you want the user to see
  • E-commerce and general search are separate
    businesses
  • E-commerce province of smaller vendors
  • General province of search, portal, or CMS
    vendors
  • Hand-tagging is key

7
Enterprise search KM (inward-facing)
  • For decades there was only one kind of text
    analytics
  • but that was asking too much of one technology
  • Now enterprise search is more circumscribed
  • but things are still convoluted
  • Complex needs
  • Multiple kinds of search
  • Unique technical challenges
  • Multiple purchase drivers
  • Confused market
  • One-size-fits-all strategy
  • Users want portal integration
  • Investment is fragmented

8
Kinds of enterprise search
  • Find a specific document
  • Find an answer
  • Find ALL documents
  • Find an expert

9
Technical challenges in enterprise search
  • Documents may not exist
  • Many formats
  • Corpus weighting
  • No good popularity metrics
  • Security
  • Ease of adoption!!!

10
Many reasons to buy enterprise search
  • General productivity
  • Sure beats looking through file cabinets
  • Wouldn't it be nice if ...
  • KM dreams
  • Compliance
  • Thou shalt
  • Not all the reasons are good

11
One-size-fits-all didn't work
  • Overreaching had a lot to do with that
  • E-commerce search isn't general search
  • Text mining isn't search (or clustering)
  • Custom publishing isn't exactly search

12
Custom publishing
  • More precise than search
  • Sophisticated extraction
  • Focus on document parts
  • Started with technical publishers (and
    intelligence)
  • Expanded to
  • Other technical documents
  • Other publishers
  • Players
  • Mark Logic
  • Various text miners
  • Various search vendors

13

  • Multiple generations of vendors flamed out
  • Verity
  • Excalibur (endlessly backed by Allen Company)
  • Fulcrum et al.
  • FAST
  • Google has brand name, ease of installation
  • Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and Autonomy are all
    confused
  • Products are sold for inappropriate apps
  • Compliance is driving demand
  • Small vendors are ... small

14
Text mining
  • Really about sophisticated extraction
  • Apps and verticals mirror data mining
  • The action is in sentiment analysis ...
  • ... and ease of use
  • Otherwise the industry seems tired
