Certified Search: Who Was First
February 5, 2009
I chuckled when I read “Autonomy Introduces Industry First Search Process Validation Module to Ensure Defensible Search” here. The story asserts:
Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today unveiled the industry’s most advanced, forensically sound search module, Search Process Validation (SPV).
You can get more information about Autonomy here. The reason for my giggle? There some folks who have been “certifying” search results for a while. Check out Iron Mountain’s Stratify and Clearwell Systems.

Thanks Stephen – and not exacty sure what is meant by the term “certifying” search – as there are certainly vendors who have the capability to provide search reporting in an manner that can aid in presenting search related decisions/activities in a way to ensure a search is viewed as reasonable – and thus defensible. Orange Legal Technologies (www.orangelt.com) is one of these vendors. Another question of importance in considering a platforms ability to handly Unicode – (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) – and as this capability is widespread – it would seem reasonable to have that capability.
Anythougths on your perspective on Unicode capability?
Enjoy your writing and appreciate your insight.
Rob Robinson,
Check out Autonomy’s definition at http://www.autonomy.com. I am reporting old news and offering comments, not creating buzzwords and standing behind marketing fluff.,

That’s fair – just was curious of your take on the importance of Unicode.
Rob Robinson,
Important if you want to sell in China or other double byte language countries. Irrelevant if you want to sell to the fine lads who live in the log cabin down the hollow here in Harrods Creek.
