Searching Google Patents With ISYS

We recently partnered with ArnoldIT on a demonstration site that enables visitors to search 10 years of Google Patents using the ISYS:web search solution for enterprise search, intranet search and site search. ArnoldIT officially announced the new site today. For the Google Patent Search demonstration site, we unlocked a handful of advanced search, discovery and mining capabilities (what Steve Arnold refers to as “beyond search” functions). These include: parametric search; context clouds; intelligent query expansion; auto-classification; ISYS Entities; and metadata refinement.

We invite you to visit the Google Patent Search demonstration site and give it a try for yourself. You can also try it in your own environment by visiting our website and requesting an evaluation of the ISYS:web search solution.

We’ve been deliberately quiet as of late, thanks to a number of fun projects happening behind the scenes here at ISYS. This week was just a taste of what’s to come in 2009. In addition to announcing the appointment of our new CEO, Scott Coles, we also launched Version 9 of our ISYS:web information access and discovery solution for intranet search and site search. The folks at EContent and Arnold IT covered it here and here.

Additionally, we rolled out our new website. Collectively, these milestone moments kick off a new phase in our formidable history. The year ahead for ISYS will be characterized by aggressive growth on all fronts, most importantly on the product development side of things. We invite media, analysts and customers to contact us to learn more about our direction and what the roadmap looks like.

Selecting an Intranet Search Engine

Part Three in our series of enterprise search white papers is a true classic. For four years running, it has been our most downloaded paper, likely because it’s a timeless topic that most businesses wrestle with at one point or another — selecting an intranet search engine.

Whether you’re building an intranet from scratch or are in the process of implementing SharePoint as your intranet, the search piece obviously plays a key role, particularly if we’re talking about a fairly substantial deployment. What’s great about the intranet search paper is it really helps you understand some of the fundamental requirements for search inside corporate firewalls. At the end of the paper is a checklist you can use to help you evaluate various vendor offerings.
