whitepaper Enhancing Web Search by Promoting Multiple Search Engine Use2008-07-24 Association for Computing Machinery
  This paper proposes and evaluates a framework that maximizes users' search effectiveness by directing them to the engine that yields the best results for the current query. In contrast to prior work on meta-search, the paper does not advocate for replacement of multiple engines with an aggregate one, but rather facilitate simultaneous use of individual engines. This paper describes a machine learning approach to supporting switching between search engines and demonstrates its viability at tolerable interruption levels.   
whitepaper Semantic Search Arrives at the Web2008-07-18 JupiterMedia
  Semantic search has attracted a lot of attention in the past year, largely due to the growth of the semantic web as a whole. The term semantic search itself is popular enough to be considered overused. The term refers to searching large semantic web datasets, which is a typical problem for semantic web search engines such as Swoogle, Sindice, SWSE, Falcon-S, and Watson. The term also refers to methods of searching web documents beyond the syntactic level of matching keywords. This paper discusses semantic search in this second sense.

whitepaper Technology Company Enhances Productivity, Customer Service With New Search Solution2008-07-01 Microsoft
  NetIQ wanted to provide its sales force with up-to-date product and strategic information, but the company's intranet was difficult to use. Many of the approximately 2,000 employees stored critical information in shared folders, making it necessary for others to check multiple sources for relevant documents. To improve information access, NetIQ moved to an intranet solution that takes advantage of the enterprise search capabilities of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Sales people now have a single, searchable source for timely, accurate information, which has increased their productivity and responsiveness to customers. NetIQ now develops new features more quickly than with the previous intranet, making the new solution more cost-effective and a better return on investment.

whitepaper A Semantic Search Engine for Spatial Web Portals2008-05-30 George Mason University
  Spatial Web Portals, such as NASA's Earth Science Gateway (ESG, esg.gsfc.nasa.gov) and ESIP's Earth Information Exchange (EIE, eie.esipfed.org) have improved the sharing, exchanging, and interoperating of Earth science information. Large amount of geospatial metadata, data, and web services have been collected for SWPs to serve different user communities. However, most search engines in SWPs are based on keyword matching, which does not 'Understand' the meaning of user's queries and is not friendly to end users, especially when a user has limited Earth science knowledge. Therefore, it is a challenge to find needed data from a variety of geospatial resources in an intelligent manner. This paper introduces the efforts on integrating semantic search engine to make the search intelligent.
