whitepaper Find Anything With Vista's Windows Desktop Search2007-03-01 JupiterMedia
  Windows Desktop Search (WDS) 3.0, introduced with Windows Vista, gives the computer fast search capabilities, helping to find the documents, e-mail, music, photos, videos, and other items quickly. Microsoft implemented the search engine that powers WDS 3.0 as a Windows service that's shared by applications such as Outlook 2007 and OneNote 2007 to index application content and deliver instant results. Because WDS performs file indexing operations only during the computer's idle time, there's no negative impact on the user experience. But the nicest feature for developers is that, in addition to out-of-the-box integration with Office 2007 applications, WDS 3.0 exposes a programmatic API through which one can fully and easily integrate the applications with WDS.

whitepaper Optimal Bidding Strategy for Keyword Auctions and Other Continuous-Time Markets2007-02-16 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  This paper models continuous-time mass bidding markets, such as key-word auctions and market-based resource allocation systems, as a stochastic dynamic system that fluctuates around an average value under the influence of its users. The user's objective to maximize his long-term average utility is formulated as a stochastic control problem. The optimal bidding strategy is calculated both analytically and numerically. It is shown that market fluctuations tend to decrease expected system revenue, thus search engines like Google and Yahoo have an incentive to create a secondary stable market such as a futures market or a reservation market.

whitepaper Searching Documents Based on Relevance and Type2007-02-09 Microsoft
  This paper extends previous work on document retrieval and document type classification, addressing the problem of 'Typed search'. Specifically, given a query and a designated document type, the search system retrieves and ranks documents not only based on the relevance to the query, but also based on the likelihood of being the designated document type. The paper formalizes the problem in a general framework consisting of 'Relevance model' and 'Type model'. The relevance model indicates whether or not a document is relevant to a query. The type model indicates whether or not a document belongs to the designated document type.   
whitepaper Ranking and Suggesting Tags in Collaborative Tagging Applications2007-02-01 Microsoft
  This paper considers collaborative tagging systems where users can attach tags to information objects. Such systems are widely used to add keywords meta-data to photos, videos, or web pages (social bookmarking applications). The meta-data is then used by information retrieval mechanism to provide accurate query answers. To that end, the goal of collaborative tagging systems is to quickly discover the true ranking of a tag for an information object with respect to a given ranking criteria. This paper also considers the popularity rank as ranking criteria. Many collaborative tagging systems help users tagging of an object by making suggestions based on the tagging history of an information object.

whitepaper Secure Searching With Secure Enterprise Search2007-01-01 Oracle
  To be useful, an enterprise search engine must deal with documents from a variety of sources. Many of these documents and sources will be protected - available only to authorized users. Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) is a product that enables to find information within the corporate intranet by keyword or contextual searches. To do this, it must first collect the content from diverse sources and text-index it. The process of collecting this information is known as crawling, and is performed by a crawler. This paper looks at how Oracle Secure Enterprise Search handles the protected sources.   
whitepaper Secure Enterprise Search: Version 1 (10.1.8)2007-01-01 Oracle
  Internet searches have shown that significant information uplift can accrue from search technology. Without search engines, the Internet would still have billions of web pages, but surfers would have to know URLs a priori, or navigate through directories, to locate pages of interest. Clearly it is Search that makes Google popular, and the Internet more useful even as the amount of information on it grows at a rapid pace. Secure Enterprise Search (SES) is Oracle's standalone search solution with web-like quality, which securely covers all enterprise sources, and is easy to use and deploy.

whitepaper Building Custom Crawlers for Oracle Secure Enterprise Search2007-01-01 Oracle
  Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) is a product that enables to find information within the corporate intranet by keyword or contextual searches. To do this, it must first collect the content from diverse sources and text-index it. The process of collecting this information is known as crawling, and is performed by a crawler. The crawled information is indexed, and users have access to that index via a query application. Oracle provides a number of crawlers out-of-the-box, and also provides an API for customers, partners and others to develop secure crawlers to access datasources not easily crawlable by the standard set of crawlers. This paper discusses the planning and coding process for building custom connectors for Oracle SES.

whitepaper Enterprise Search From Microsoft: Empower People to Find Information & Expertise2007-01-01 Microsoft
  An IT professional is aware of the importance of effective enterprise-wide Search capabilities and knows what kind of Enterprise Search experience employees are looking for. But he or she may find it a challenge to deliver what's required, because Enterprise Search and Internet Search are very different. This paper, written for Technical Decision Makers, takes a look at the drivers and challenges that define Enterprise Search and examines the key elements of a successful Enterprise Search solution. It demonstrates how a winning solution gives information workers access to widespread unstructured sources as well as structured and Line-Of-Business (LOB) system data while respecting an organization's varied security needs.   
whitepaper Search Engine Optimization and Web 2.02006-12-03 Bloofusion
  Web 2.0 is a fairly recent phenomenon whose predominate features are composed of a high level of user or community participation as well as leading-edge technical features such as AJAX. Because of these elements, many sites aren't optimized well for search engines and thus are missing out on a large cut of potential online visitors. This paper tackles the usual issues that have arisen and still are current when advising and working with Web 2.0 web sites. The best strategy is usually one that is able to both attract visitors and appeal to the search engines. These two facets are very much parallel endeavors and often don't require major resources to accomplish.
