Oracle Updates SES11g

August 1, 2011

We wanted to mention the update to Secure Enterprise Search (SES) to our Oracle fans. Users will want to upgrade to 11g Release 1 (11.1.2.2), which can be downloaded at the link above.

First the token bullet list of “what’s new” straight from the Web site:

All platforms available for download, including Windows 64-bit
Oracle Access Manager integration for crawler and search application
Autovue CAD file support
Custom lexers and stop words lists, on per-data source granularity

It’s nice to see that the add-on is ready to cooperate with Oracle’s own Autovue; including drawings in an index is a must for several industries. Provided it proves functional, adding more flexibility with the stoplist should increase accuracy and weed out those pesky repetitive user-specific terms.

I scanned the release notes; no surprises here (a patch is a patch is a patch). There are several known issues but save a few exceptions the workarounds are adequately documented. Watch out for a possible compatibility issue with IPv6. Keep in mind that Oracle bought a natural language search engine with its InQuira purchase. NLP seems to be an interest of Oracle.
