Funnelback Version 10
November 4, 2010
“Funnelback Version 10 Unveiled at International Conference” reported that the Australian subsidiary of Squiz, an open source content management system vendor, has added functions to the search system. Among the new features is a “hybrid security model.” The news release added:
Another new innovation that attracted attention at the conference was a multi-faceted search and browse interface for event information that visually groups search results by the dates on which events occur. The key benefit of this is to enable end-users to intuitively explore the list of events on each date of interest. Combining this with Funnelback’s faceted navigation technology enables customers to create sophisticated event oriented web sites without the need for complex event publishing software. Funnelback 10 is available as both a software package and as a cloud service.
The nosing of open source search into the enterprise is a increasingly common feature of the information retrieval landscape. I need a scorecard to keep track of this open source boomlet. For more information about Funnelback, navigate to http://www.funnelback.com/.

Funnelback isn’t open source I’m afraid – although Squiz is. An interesting combination.
